CORE Scooter Protection

Core’s scooter protection line includes knee pads, elbow pads, wrist guards and shin guards designed to keep riders safe without sacrificing mobility. Using high-density foam, reinforced plastic caps and secure straps, Core pads absorb impact and prevent abrasions during falls. They’re suitable for park and street riders across all skill levels. For protection selection tips, see our Protection Buying Guide.

Beyond helmets, safety gear for elbows, knees, wrist guards, and sometimes impact shorts are included here. Core’s protection line uses durable plastics for shells, breathable fabrics for comfort, and secure fastening systems that stay locked in even during heavy falls. Comfort does not mean compromise — padding is carefully placed to allow movement while offering coverage where you need it most. Designs often mirror Core completes in colour and style so your gear looks cohesive.

To complete the look and protection, pair this with helmets from Core Scooter Helmets.

Why buy CORE Scooter Protection?

Q

What pads does Core offer?

A

Core’s range includes Pro Knee Pads with thick foam and flexible caps, Street Knee Pads for lightweight coverage, and Shin/Ankle guards that shield your shins from deck strikes and mis-landings. Wrist guards and elbow pads round out the selection.

Q

What materials are used?

A

Pads use EVA or dual-density foam and a hard plastic cap to dissipate impact. The sleeves are made from breathable neoprene or mesh, and Velcro straps secure them in place. Shin guards add a hard plate over the shin and padded ankle collars.

Q

Are Core pads comfortable?

A

Yes. They’re contoured to fit your joints, with pre-curved caps and flexible fabrics. The straps allow for quick adjustment, and the padding molds to your body with use, improving comfort over time.

Q

How do I select the right size?

A

Measure around your joint and compare with the manufacturer’s size chart. Pads should fit snugly without restricting circulation. Trying pads on while bending your knee or elbow ensures a proper fit.

Q

Can beginners use Core protection?

A

Absolutely. They offer both entry-level pads for casual riding and heavier-duty pads for aggressive skating. Even experienced riders benefit from protection during high-risk tricks.

Q

How should I clean and maintain pads?

A

Remove any removable padding and hand wash with mild soap or use a gentle cycle on your washing machine. Let them air dry completely. Inspect straps and caps for damage and replace if worn.

Q

How long do pads last?

A

With proper care, pads can last a season or two of regular use. Replace them when foam compresses, caps crack or straps lose elasticity.

Q

Are Core pads certified?

A

Some pads meet protective standards, but pads aren’t usually certified like helmets. The materials and construction determine their protective quality. Always look for dual-density foam and strong caps for reliable protection.
