i wear crashpads. i think i ordered mine off this site http://crash-pads.com/ the ones i have fit me well the only pad the but and backside and outer side of the thigh which is nice. i have older ones similar to these http://www.crash-pads.com/shop/Pro-Pant-with-Tail-Shield/6.html they fit well under snowpants but i would recommend having bigger snowpants if your wife wears tighter fitting ones, with crashpads baggier is much more comfortrable.
