We’ve seen our fair share of D.I.Y. and reinforced skate pants, but The Bufers combine a little bit of both. By pairing material reinforcements and internal protection on high impact areas, these longboarding pants offer solid protection against road rash.
The Bufers Jeans longboard pants
Regardless if you’re already past the beginning phase or you’re just starting out, those nasty road rashes are always out to get you.
The Bufers denim longboarding pants are created for everyone who would like to save their skin and avoid the burning shower feelings after a skate session. They are also compact enough to pack them in your bag for a skate trip.
While most longboard pants are only reinforced with Kevlar or Cordura fabric and do not provide any extra protection, the Bufers are a step in the right direction. Similar to crash pants they feature protective inserts placed inside the denim pants and strategically mapped on key areas you’re most likely to tear and destroy during a fall or learning how to slide.
The Bufers Jeans protect the common high abrasion areas on the hips, the seat, knees, as well as the front and side of the shins. By pairing together material reinforcement and protective elements, the Bufer Jeans look tough and durable.
The internal protection is also available separately for you to start your own D.I.Y. project. It can be easily installed in any type of pants you desire, all you need is an iron and a hot air gun. Once placed, the buffers firmly stay in place and provide a comfortable protection.
What provides the impact and material protection are the solo buffers made from a 2 mm thick high-quality polyurethane combined with a 2 mm soft and lively plastic.
With a fusible interlining that consist of a base material and thermoplastic resin, they also allow you to easily place them on any pair of skate pants with the help of an iron.
Bufers Jeans are available in four denim colorways with stretch inserts tailored to your size, priced at 195 EUR. Another option is store bought jeans with 7 installed buffers, priced at 99 EUR (including jeans), while the Solo Buffers are available in packs of 7, 9 or 13 starting at 49 EUR.
The Bufers Shorts and Overalls
Bufers Protective Clothing also provides two other designs of protective longboarding pants in the form of shorts and overalls.
The Bufers Shorts are created for pushing and cruising around the city, hence their light at breathable design. These shorts include inner or outer protective pads on the hips, seat, and knees. Paired with shoulder straps and a mesh back inlay, these pants can also hold a spine protector.
If you’re a fan of the overalls, the Bufer Overalls will help you skate safely when freeriding and downhill skateboarding. They, as well as the other two models, can have a custom design of the fit and placement of the protective buffers. The Overalls include internal or external buffers on the knees, hips, shins, and seat.
