    The GAIN Protection Shield Knee Pads have been a staple in the freestyle scootering community since 2017, quickly becoming GAIN’s best-selling product. These innovative pads were the first high-quality knee protectors specifically designed for the sport. Recognizing the need for an upgrade, GAIN has completely reimagined these essential pads, resulting in the impressive new Shield PROs.

    At first glance, the Shield Pros may appear similar to their predecessors, but every detail has been enhanced with new, improved materials. The base is now constructed from a checkered, super-strong rip-stop Cordura, while the Kevlar strip at the bottom offers even greater durability. The top of the pads is made from robust AirMesh fabric, providing excellent ventilation alongside a stylish appearance.

    The design has also evolved to feature a three-segment construction, which includes a top segment, a middle section equipped with an advanced foam insert, and a separate bottom segment that conforms more naturally to your leg without applying pressure to the shin. This innovative design ensures a perfect fit while maximizing comfort. The main foam insert has been meticulously engineered to hug the knee closely and is multi-layered, and reinforced with anti-shock foam for superior impact absorption. This makes the Shield Pros perfect for executing big tricks, far exceeding the performance of standard single-density foam pads. Additionally, a sticky silicone-printed strip inside the pads prevents them from sliding down during use.

    The new straps are designed to be more resistant to velcro hook wear and are firmer for a secure fit. The back flaps are crafted from DuraTex neoprene, enhancing the overall durability of the product. For added customization, the replaceable plastic caps are now made from a flexible compound and are available in a variety of unique “Swirl” colourways, allowing riders to match their pads to their scooters.

    Endorsed by top riders and loved by our team, the Shield Pro knee pads offer riders the confidence to progress without relying on pads designed for skateboarding, which often do not accommodate the distinct stance of scootering. Made with pride in the European Union, the Shield PRO Knee Pads are your go-to choice for safety and performance on every ride.

    BUYING GUIDE

    Why do I need to wear protection?

    Here at skates.co.uk we understand just how important the use of protective gear is. We understand that the majority of young people would prefer to look cool than wear something none of their friends do. Think about this, do you ever see the top skaters/skating performers without protective gear? No you don't. At skates.co.uk you will find a great range of skate equipment which includes those essentials such as skate pads or skating pads, knee pads, elbow pads and skate helmets.

    A recent study found thatᅠonly 7% of injured skaters had been wearing full gear, andᅠ82% of elbow injuries and 87% of wrist injuries could have been prevented by wearing the proper safety gear.

    The very young (and the not so young) take pleasure in the sport of skating because it is both fun and exciting; it is easy to learn and offers a great workout for major limbs, and other body parts.

    What protective gear do I need?

    The most important thing to consider when choosing protective gear is that it fits well, a nice fitting (not too tight and not too lose) will help you relax as you are less worried about injury. This will in turn enable you to perform at a higher level and perhaps try things you wouldn't normally within any protective gear. Why are they so important?

    Helmets

    • Helmets need to be worn by all skaters, at all ability levels, at all times to prevent head injuries.
    • The helmet must fit securely and be buckled or fastened.
    • Do not buy a helmet that moves on the head when the head moves.
    • The front of the helmet should come down to just a finger's width above the eyebrows.
    • Bike-style helmets, made from expanded polystyrene, offer the most protection on impact, but must be replaced after every impact.

    Knee Pads

    • All skaters, and especially beginners, should wear knee pads to prevent knee injuries and scrapes.
    • Pads need to be fastened securely around the leg.
    • Pads are usually sized small, medium and large according to body size.

    Elbow Pads

    • Elbow pads are also highly recommended for beginners as well as all aggressive skaters.
    • Elbow pads are sized small, medium and large according to body size

    Wrist and Hand Guards

    • Hand protection is recommended to be worn at all times.
    • They are sized small, medium and large according to body size.
