G-Form has become synonymous with pursuing innovation through their products in the athletic protective equipment arena. That being said, their products make for some top notch protection for skateboarders all the same.
Unfortunately, getting stuck with shinners are an unavoidable part of skateboarding. However, with the G-Form Pro-S Elite Shin Guard, the pain associated with them can become a thing of the past. These pads merge the comfort of a sleeve-style design with impact-handling protection for the front of the calf. Their remarkable slim fit can be attributed to the way they feature a versatile two-panel design that allows them to feel like a second skin. In addition, the durability of the sleeve means that the G-Form Pro-S Elite Shin Guard will keep from sliding, falling or moving anywhere other than where it should to be.
The Technology
As is typical of G-Form Pads, the lightweight design provides optimal comfort with superior impact protection because of their renowned Rate-Dependent Material (RDM). Essentially, this technology allows the padding and fabrics in the G-Form Pro-S Elite Shin Guard to be soft and flexible when in motion. Then, upon impact, the molecules in these pads tighten up to provide an abrasive layer of protection. This revolutionary innovation allows for the pads to be flexible enough to keep you comfortable while also being secure enough in your time of need.
Despite all of the technological innovations held in these pads, they are made to feel lightweight and breathable on the calf. Their moisture-wicking fabric acts to keep the shins dry and to keep the padding itself in place. At the same time, they are machine washable and ready to be worn again and again
Multiple Impacts!
G-Form pads have been developed to protect you from multiple impacts. Unlike many other pads that require replacement after one good slam, the G-Form technology stays in tact and ready for the next point of impact.
