Protective Pads (Elbow and Knee)

The standard protective pad set, typically including knee pads and elbow pads.

• Hard Cap: The exterior features a rigid, curved plastic cap. This cap is designed to protect the joints (knees and elbows) from abrasions, scrapes, and punctures by dispersing the impact force across a wider surface area.

• Internal Padding: Beneath the hard cap is soft foam padding that cushions the joint, providing comfort and shock absorption.

• Securing System: These pads use adjustable elastic straps with hook-and-loop (Velcro) closures. It is important to adjust these straps so the pads fit snugly; if they are too loose, they will shift during a fall and fail to provide protection.

Key Safety Tips for Using This Gear

Important: Always check that all gear is properly sized. Protective gear that is too large or too small will not function correctly and may increase the risk of injury.

• The "Ready" Check: Before every use, ensure all straps are secure. A helmet should not tilt forward or backward, and pads should be centered over the joint.

• After-Impact Replacement: If a child has a significant fall or crash, the helmet must be replaced. Even if there is no visible damage, the internal foam structure may have compressed or developed microscopic cracks, meaning it can no longer provide the same level of protection.

• Proper Maintenance: Store pads and helmets in a cool, dry place out of direct sunlight. High heat (like in a car trunk) can degrade the foam inside helmets. Clean the outer shells with mild soap and water—avoid harsh chemicals that can weaken the plastic materials.
