New 2 piece pant options?

[Ranger-#8 1]

I've been hooked on the 2 piece style pants for a while right now I'm in a bauer s190 pant.  I was wondering what models out right now have that internal girdle style system but the heavy thigh pads are part of the shell? I attached a video showing the pant to show what I mean.  Any input would be great managed to loose some weight so the old pants are falling off now, and living in a smaller town going to a big shop isn't so simple.

What’s the advantage to have lighter pads on the girdle and additional pads on the shell rather than sufficient padding on the girdle and a standard shell?

I had that S190 girdle for about a season, the shell didn't seem much different than other shells, the padding on the front thigh was just a layer of soft padding and I swapped the shell out for a couple PP9K shells that I preferred more (the girdle itself still had the thicker pad and plastic insert).  I don't know if I'd call it a 2 piece pant, I thought 2 piece pants had upper and lowers that were able to detach from each other?  If you prefer that girdle/not a girdle idea you can just attach a shell to most girdles with the velcro loops, that way it's more of a one piece set up rather than putting on the girdle then the shell, but I don't think you'll find many shells with more than a thin layer of foam in the thigh area (some have more padding in the kidney area which is why I like the PP9K/PP90 shells).

Bauer has really beefed up their 2 piece option and the top of the line point:

Similar to the S190:

Companies don't really do what you're looking for. The best bet is to just get a girdle with the protection you'd  see on the ACP Pro or SuperTacks.
