Children’s knee protectors – knee guards for kids

Knee protectors for kids are an upgrade to standard knee pads. Whereas soft knee pads with a light padding are rather suited for scooting or skating, MTB knee protectors for kids are of a totally different quality.

These knee guards are made to protect sensitive knees on demanding trails and downhill tracks.

The technical materials have been designed in a way that they offer high freedom of movement during pedalling and stay sufficiently breathable on warm summer days as well.

To minimize the energy of a crash, the knee guards come with robust plastic cups and shock-absorbing foam inserts, which harden in case of a crash and return to their flexible original shape afterwards.

In this way, the knee guards promise just the right combination of freedom of movement during pedalling and impact protection in case of a crash.

The knee protectors are usually fastened with velcro closures and elastic straps that allow for individual adjustment and more freedom of movement.


Children’s elbow protectors – MTB arm pads

Elbows are sensitive parts of the body that need special protection during mountain biking. Our range does not include simple knee pads with light foam padding, which can be used for scooting or skating. Instead, we offer children’s elbow protectors that are specially adapted to MTB sports and keep their promise of providing sufficient protection for these type of activities.

The functional materials of the elbow protectors are designed to offer high freedom of movement during biking. Moreover, they are highly breathable so that you can enjoy hot summer days in the bike park as well.

The children’s elbow protectors feature robust plastic cups and shock-absorbing foam inserts. These harden in case of a crash and return to their flexible original shape afterwards. The ideal combination of unrestricted movement on the bike and effective elbow protection during a crash.

Elbow protectors are fastened with velcro closures and elastic straps. This allows for individual adjustment.


Children’s protector vests, protectors jackets and protector shirts – full torso protection

For adequate torso protection, we recommend special protector vests, protector jackets or protector shirts for children.

They come with a shock-absorbing foam padding as well as robust plastic plates that absorb impact energy in case of a crash and distribute it over a large surface.

Children’s protector shirts feature protectors on chest and back as well as on the shoulders. Protector shirts are especially popular for enduro biking, where finer and more breathable materials are great for uphill sections.

Children’s protector jackets on the other hand, are clearly more robust and offer particularly effective protection with protectors on chest, back and shoulders (long sleeve versions on elbows, too). These jackets are extremely popular for downhill riding.

Children’s protector vests do not offer protection for the arms but instead focus on effective protection for chest and back.


Children’s neck braces - neck protectors for downhill fun!

A children’s neck brace or neck protector is a special protection used for downhill mountain biking.

It comes in the shape of a ring, which is attached on the shoulders. Contact surfaces at the chest and upper back ensure the necessary stability of the protector.

When you wear a full-face helmet and throw your head back or let it drop onto your chest, there is no natural limit of the movement. In case of a crash, this leads to the risk of hyperextending or compressing your neck and thus suffer severe injuries.

A neck brace for children offers a 360° limit to prevent hyperextension of the spine. When you wear a neck brace, can cannot move your head and neck to the front, to the back or to the sides without any restriction – this avoids dangerous injuries of the cervical spine.

Wearing a neck protector has therefore become an absolute standard for downhill races all over the world.
