Protecting is not "heavy" - G-Form brings ultra-light children's protectors

When kids emulate their role models, their young joints want to be protected. G-Form has developed the Elite and Pro Youth protectors, elbow, knee and knee/shin protectors for the next generation to make this easy. At 27 to 125 grams, they are the lightest children's protectors, but can also be worn when riding in the bike park.

G-Form is known for its lightweight protectors, which are closer to a second skin than a bulky cushion. And what many adult mountain bikers appreciate is also good for youngsters - apart from the sizes. The US protector manufacturer is now expanding its range, starting with the "Youth Elite Knee-Shin Guard" - the knee and shin protector from G-Form.

Its soft, elastic RPT foam is sewn onto a fine Lycra sock. The G-Form protector fits around the knee and shin almost like a second skin. The almost twelve millimeter thin RPT polymer foam hardens within milliseconds of an impact and absorbs up to 90 percent of the energy. The foam then immediately becomes soft and supple again.
As there is hardly any weight and thanks to the rubberized edges, G-Form protectors hardly slip. The Youth Pro-X Knee-Shin Guard is available in two sizes, S/M and L/XL. It weighs from 125 grams and its pack size of 12x7 centimetres is very small.

The lightest knee protector for kids

The "Pro X Knee Pads Youth" knee pad has the same design and properties. Only its foam padding is slightly thinner than that of the knee and shin pads at ten millimetres.

At just 43 grams for size S/M, the pads are ultra-light. The pads can be washed in the washing machine at 40° C.

G-Forms elbow pads "Pro-X Elbow Pads Youth" have the same padding thickness and protective properties. Its pads are also connected to the Lycra socks with 3D flat seams and these pads are also super light at 27 grams and can be worn under clothing.
