I see a lot of snow board reviewers here; anybody use them for dirt bike (motorcycle) protection? If so, how do you like them?

I use them for skateboarding on my mini ramp along with a slimmer pair of pads underneath them and then jeans over everything. They work great and protect me exactly where I wanted it on my hips. I've fallen a million times on hard wood or dirt and I never feel like I've been "hurt."

Quite well, actually! They are pretty sturdy, so don't worry about breaking the zipfy if you get some "air". Of course, your weight, speed, height of the jump and fluffiness of the snow will determine your health after you land!

I can't relate to skis, however I snowboard and they are very reliable pads. You should be just fine wearing them.

I have one mounted under the truck body. It's been through everything except snow and still works perfectly.

I just bought mine and put in in January. I like them. They fit perfectly, though If I had designed them I might have made them a little higher on the drivers side where my left foot goes. There is a place there that gets dirty above the mat. I'm guessing they left the space for safety for braking, in case it might get in the way of the pedal? Anyway, so far, so good. They are collecting a lot of road sand and dirt and ice and snow, especially this winter. I didn't know anyone gave a longer warranty these days. Are the Husky's custom fitted like these? They are pricey, but I think a worthwhile investment, especially with off white carpet in my Prius!

I mounted the "snowmobile" warmers on my harley and they work just fine. They are supposed to be warmer than the motrocycle ones. I used them in the fog and cold and they work decent. Dont expect blazing heat. On those cold mornings they are nice.

Yes they will work for a bike! I used them on my snowmobile handle bars but it showed a lot of jerking motion / vibrating in the recording but on a bike it should be fine but don't know about on a bike if you are jumping or going over a bumpy path

They fit nicely on my fuji cross pro but I never take them off road. I wouldn't trust them. They seem fragile. I have beefier wheels for when I'm needing to go off-roading. I do use them for commuting. My route is not the smoothest ride... curbs, railroad tracks, etc and they've held up great for 2 years now. GL

used for a road motorcycle helmet... possible, they have a flat disc you can get to give it a better securement, dirt bike... not a chance

Robin M. answered it pretty well. I put it on our snowmobile helmets. It works pretty well. It is a little bit of static but for the price it can't be beat. Works very well even at 120 mph+

They actually don't seem to work at all. The design is flawed in that it doesn't allow you to secure the board(s) tightly enough to the top of the car to hold them down. I got nothing but floppy failure even at very low speeds (less than 30 mph) no matter how hard and tightly I tried to secure them. I'd recommend these instead, because they actually work, even at highway speeds: Block Surf Single Wrap Surfboard Rack Good luck, but I'd seriously recommend you avoid the FCS premium straps because their design seems to be seriously flawed and utterly unworkable.

They are great for snowboarding; I had a nasty crash last winter and probably would have broken my tailbone if I wasn't wearing these. I highly recommend them for boarding!

The way they are vented, I doubt they would keep out much dust. I use them street riding, great for that. Although, for the small price and solid quality I would pick up a pair and try it.

MBX makes awesome mountain boards. I would recommend upgrading to a board with better trucks. I know it represents a significant price increase, but it is worth it when it comes to ease of ride and performance.

I live in Florida and I have not had the chance to ride much during the cold... But I would say you may need a little extra protection as the insulation is a little thin...

I would think pretty good.. I use them for snow blowing in the winter, but they fit well and don't move around. They are well made.
