Any racer looking for protection against the gates as well as the race course itself should take a square look at the Komperdell Adult Forearm Guards. These guards are a must-have for competitive racers who are looking to drop their time and stand on top of the podium. These Komperdell Forearm guards do a couple of things that’ll help you out in your racing career. First and foremost, they protect your radius and ulna from bruising and breaking due to an impact with a gate. That’s always the priority of safety gear like this—protecting you from injury. Gates are hard, and you’re going fast, and an impact is likely to cause some damage. Thanks to the Komperdell Adult Forearm Guards, that impact will be mitigated and your chance for injury is decreased. The second cool thing about these forearm guards is that it allows you to take a straighter, more direct line with greater confidence. Knowing that you’re going to block the next gate with your arm and not get hurt is a huge boost and advantage when it comes to taking the straighter line. Once you realize that you can take that aggressive path down the race course and be protected at the same time, it’s all going to come together for you. As opposed to the junior forearm guards that sport an 8.75-inch length, the Adults are a bit bigger, coming in at 10 inches. This gives you some extra protection, so make sure you measure appropriately.
