When it comes to innovation in the world of athletic safety equipment, G-Form comes out as number 1. Constantly improving and coming up with neater concepts, G-Form has developed pads that any skateboarder can appreciate.

G-Form’s Knee Pads are the slimmest, sleekest, most comfortable and most breathable knee pads that you will ever find! Not much thicker than a typical knee brace, G-Form Knee pads will help keep things more comfortable for you. When you are out skating, you might even forget that you are wearing them. The slim fit is ideal for whenever you are doing maneuvers that brings your legs close together. Examples of this would include; tucking, shortboard, freestyle, and “dancing” tricks, skogging and long distance pushing, etc. No more worries about your bulky knee pads bumping into each other and making things harder than they need to be!

The Technology

G-Form Pads are sleek and fit snug, yet are very comfortable. What sets them apart from the most is the technology that goes behind the making of these pads, keeping you safe and less prone to injuries from intense impacts. Using their patented Rate-Dependent Material (RDM), G-Form has created the most technologically advanced protective equipment in the world.

So what exactly does the Rate-Dependent Material consist of and what makes it so special? To put it most simply, the foam padding in G-Form pads is comprised of molecules that slightly repel off each other. This makes the material soft and flexible. However, upon impact, these molecules act as a team and group up, or huddle together almost instantly, and create a wall of protection that absorbs the impact. After the impact, the molecules return to their normal state and you are back with a form-fitting and comfortable piece of safety equipment, and hopefully you are back up on your feet and ready to skate some more or at least well enough to get up relatively unharmed! Even with all this technology, G-Form Pads are machine washable so you can throw them in the washer machine with the rest of your clothes, hassle free!

One thing worth mentioning… while these pads are awesome and will keep you protected, they are intended primarily for impact protection – elbow, knee, and tailbone slams and collisions. They are not intended for large amounts of abrasion and will eventually tear if you drag them across pavement. If you are going to be riding real low to the ground we either recommend wearing something (leather suit or clothes) over the pads or using pads with hard plastic claps (check out our 187 pads). With that being said, you’ll be hard pressed to find protective gear that is more protective, yet so sleek, than G-Form Pads.

Multiple Impacts!

The G-Form pad will protect you from repeated impacts – most bicycle helmets need to be replaced after one impact, but unlike those, G-Form technology will stay protective for every impact.

Thigh measurement should be taken at 6 inches above the kneecap while the calf measurements should be taken at the widest point of your calf.

G-Form's reputation as a leader in the field of athletic protective gear has long been carried by the emphasis they place on merging comfort with security. Naturally, skateboarders have picked up on these innovations and have turned G-Form pads into coveted additions to their padding arsenal. 

As such the G-Form Pro-X Elbow Pad lives up to this reputation perfectly. These pads provide a slimmer and more comfortable fit than most other elbow pads on the market. With an emphasis on encouraging freedom and mobility, these elbow pads work great for very skaters who use their upper bodies for grabs and inverts or downhill skaters who use their upper bodies for grabs and slides. With a full range of motion and the comfort to match, the only thing left is protection. Not to worry, the G-Form Pro-X Elbow Pads have plenty of that to go around. 

The Technology

Inside the G-Form Pro-X Elbow Pad is where the magic of fusing comfort and protection comes to life. This is due to G-Form's revered Rate-Dependent Material (RDM) technology. With this technology in place, a forcefield of molecules that are charged to repel from each other is embedded into the padding, allowing the pads to be soft and pliable while in motion. Then, when the moment of impact occurs, these molecules join together and harden, creating a layer of security as your elbow hits the pavement. However, once you get back up and brush yourself off, the molecules return to their original state, making the padding soft and movable once again. 

Features like G-Form's Rate-Dependent Material (RDM) make their products some of the most technologically advanced in skateboarding world. Designed to keep riders safe from injury and protected from high impact slams, these elbow pads are a must for anyone looking to avoid feeling the effects of that next nasty crash. 

Also to be noted is while G-Form's pads are intended to keep you on your feet after bailing, they are not designed to withstand large amounts of being dragged or skidded along the concrete. To keep these pads in tact for as long as you can and to avoid significant damage, we would highly recommend slipping these pads underneath a leather suit or another form of clothing conducive to withstanding that type of abuse. That way, your G-Form Pro-X Elbow Pads can be ready to go over and over again.

Multiple Impacts!

Like the rest of G-Form's quiver of padding options, these elbow pads are ready to serve as protection to plenty of repeated impacts. Unlike other pads that require replacement after a nasty spill or two, the G-Form Pro-X Elbow Pads are good to go, time after time.

G-Form Pro-X Compression Shorts provide the ultimate in lower body protection to the hips, tailbone and thigh by maximizing both impact support flexibility. These shorts are designed to have a low profile feel around the hips and were developed have a "second skin" type of feel. The UPF 50+ fabric used in the shorts comes complete with moisture reducing technology to keep you dry and ensure comfort, no matter the terrain. 

The Technology

As with many G-Form products, the padding in the G-Form Pro-X Compression Shorts contains their patented Rate-Dependent Material (RDM) technology. Essentially, this technology keeps a layer of molecules within the padding soft when they are in motion. Then, when impact occurs, these molecules bond together to form a solid layer of protection when you need it most. Perfect for times of unexpected slip outs, the G-Form Pro-X Compression Shorts keep your lower body safe and secure while still allowing it to move freely. The plush elastic waistband atop these shorts keeps them in place and fitting like a glove.

Despite the awesome protective qualities that come with wearing the G-Form Pro-X Compression Shorts, they can still be expected to rip when skidding along a surface like asphalt too many time. For times like these, we would advise wearing these shorts under a leather suit or something that is designed to withstand that type of friction. 

Regardless, G-Form padding has earned a stellar reputation as an industry leader for providing protection for good reason. The G-Form Pro-X Compression Shorts are no exception to their offering. These shorts are lined with the trademark padding technology and flexibility that G-Form is known for paired with a comfort that needs to be tried to truly enjoy.

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.

There's a reason why G-Form is considered to be the pinnacle of innovation in the way of safety equipment for sports. As their offerings and competencies across the athletic spectrum expand, skateboarders of the world can rejoice and reap the benefits. 

The G-Form Pro-X Compression Shirt provides unrivaled protection to the ribs, sternum, shoulder and clavicles in the way that it optimizes impact support while maintaining peak flexibility. This shirt is designed to move with the body, rather than restrict it, giving you the freedom to tuck, grab and compress as you need. G-Form's signature moisture eliminating technology also comes into play here as it's UPF 50+ fabric works to keep you snug and dry whether you are flying down hills or soaring over the coping. The best part? The G-Form Pro-X Compression Shirt's durable build allows you to use it and wash it over and over again without compromising the integrity of its protective capabilities. 

The Technology

The name of the game for G-Form products is form fitting padding, paired with the comfort of effortless flexibility. The technology behind the G-Form Pro-X Compression Shirt is no different. With their trademark Rate-Dependent Material (RDM) situated around the most vulnerable parts of the upper body, you can skate confidently, knowing that you are in good hands.

The secret behind G-Form's Rate-Dependent Material (RDM) lies in a set of molecules that are embedded in the padding and react accordingly, depending on the time of impact. These molecules act in a way that repels off of one another to keep the material fluid and flexible. However, when the impact occurs, these molecules band up to provide a layer of support to account for the pressure. Whether it's an unexpected blow to the shoulder from that sudden dip in the road or an all out belly flop from the speed wobbles, the technology held in the G-Form Pro-X Compression Shirt will be prepared to break your fall. When you get back up and prepare for your next run, the molecules in this shirt will be right behind you, moving back into their original, form-fitting state and preparing for their next call to action. 

As you continue sweating through your skate session, the breathability of the of the G-Form Pro-X Compression Shirt will become apparent. Equipped with mesh side panels that run along the sides of the shirt, the potential for proper air flow and ventilation is created. With its UPF 50+ material, you can be sure to remain moisture-free throughout your ride. Plus, after a long day in the street or the park, the G-Form Pro-X Compression Shirt is machine washable and able to continue providing comfort and protection for the next session. (And the one after that!)

It should be noted, however, that the awesome protection of the G-Form Pro-X Compression Shirt does not mean that it will hold up regardless of how much it gets dragged across the asphalt. In fact, this shirt is not intended for long periods of friction and can be expected to rip if it is scratched along the ground too frequently. If you find yourself in this position, however, we would recommend wearing the G-Form Pro-X Compression Shirt under a leather suit or similar form of clothing that is designed to withstand the effects of skidding across pavement. Nevertheless, it is certain that there are few other options that can provide the balance of comfort and support that a superior option like the G-Form Pro-X Compression Shirt will.

Rooted in the pursuit of innovation for sporting safety gear, G-Form has become a frontrunner synonymous with marrying comfort and protection. When it comes to skateboarding, there offering is second to none. 

 The G-Form Pro Ankle Guard slips on to provide a sleek but impact-absorbing layer of protection to the ankle area. Their moisture-reducing materials ensure that the padding will remain in place for your ride. 

Whether dodging boards that hang up on the coping or jumping out of the way of runaway boards during a race, the G-Form Pro Ankle Guard has your back during those unavoidable mishaps. 

The Technology

G-Form Pads are are designed to fit like a glove, no matter which part of the body they cover. Behind these pads is G-Form's patented Rate-Dependent Material (RDM) technology, designed to minimize impact and decrease the chance of injury out in the streets. 

On the back end of this Rate-Dependent Material, a layer of molecules are encased in foam padding and designed to detract from one another. This gives G-Form pads their synonymous comfort and flex. At the same time, these molecules are designed to attract towards one another upon impact, creating a stable patch of security. Once the contact with the padding is sustained, the molecules return to their original state as you get ready for your next push. Then, after sweating your way through the session, you can throw any of your G-Form pads in the wash next to all those other dirt-stained clothes you probably should have washed yesterday. 

In full disclaimer, G-Form's impact absorbing masterpieces are meant for just that - cushioning your falls. They are NOT designed to withstand road rash-inducing crashes and should be expected to wear through if they skim across the pavement too much. If you find yourself getting in to these types of situations, we would strongly advise investing into some leather clothing to wear over these pads or using pads that come equipped with hard plastic covering. Otherwise, our selection of G-Form Pads are sure to be some of the most form fitting and secure options you will find out there. 

Multiple Impacts!

Unlike some pads that require a full replacement after multiple impacts, G-Form padding remains protective even after you take a couple of spills. Get up, brush yourself off and give it another go.
