Thanks for the input. I guess I never thought too much about the impact areas, just more of overall protection. While I have never slid across pavement before, I would think that depending on the angle/degree of the fall, there would be a possibility to get some serious rash on your rear. I guess thats a matter of abrasion resistance and not padding.

Keep the great info coming on other topics as well. Thanks guys!
