Buy Kevlar protection for speed skaters
At high speeds, after a fall you often slide some distance across the asphalt. The arms and elbows in particular quickly suffer large grazes. This is where Kevlar protection comes in: Kevlar is an aramid fibre that is very tear-resistant and abrasion-resistant. Clothing containing Kevlar can therefore reduce the risk of grazes without being as bulky as a classic pad.
The Rollerblade Arm Guard
In this collection you will find the Rollerblade Arm Guard. It is pulled over the arm like a sleeve and fits snugly so that it does not slip while skating. This makes it particularly suitable for speed skaters and marathon skaters who wear tight-fitting racing clothing and want to do without bulky protectors.
Understanding what Kevlar protection can do
- A Kevlar sleeve protects the skin against abrasion, but it does not replace a hard-shell pad when it comes to hard impacts.
- Make sure you choose the right size: the arm guard should fit firmly but must not restrict blood circulation.
- Of course, it does not replace a helmet. You will find suitable models under helmets.
If you want more protection for your knees, elbows and wrists, you will find race pads, gloves and protective pants in the pads collection. You can see the full selection of protective gear under protective gear, and in our guide Protective gear for inline skating you can read which items make sense for which use.
