Specs Use: Alpine Ski Racing Gate Protection Construction: Polypropylene Hardshell with Removable EVA Padding Fit: Hook-and-Loop Fastening with Silicone Grippers Included: Pair of Forearm Race Arm Guards Construction & Technology Race-Optimized Geometry Developed with feedback from elite racers, the refined geometry is optimized for modern alpine ski racing. The streamlined profile provides reliable forearm coverage while allowing unrestricted movement for quick pole plants and confident gate clearance in both slalom and giant slalom. Polypropylene Hardshell The durable polypropylene shell is engineered to remain strong and impact resistant in cold winter conditions. Its resilient construction withstands repeated contact with race gates throughout an entire racing season. Removable EVA Padding Soft EVA padding increases comfort when worn over a race suit and can be easily removed for racers using speed suits with integrated forearm protection. This versatility allows the arm guards to adapt to different racing setups without sacrificing performance. Silicone Grip System Hook-and-loop fasteners combined with silicone grippers increase friction against the race suit, helping keep the arm guards securely in place through aggressive turns and repeated gate impacts while reducing unwanted movement. Low-Friction Matte Finish The matte outer coating helps the arm guards glide smoothly across race gates, minimizing drag during contact and supporting consistent speed through every turn.
