Protection Tech

State-of-the-art body protection

TSG protective gear protects you against the inevitable knocks of riding hard and exceeds the most stringent international safety standards for personal protective equipment.

PROTECTION

CERTIFIED PROTECTION AGAINST HARD KNOCKS

From Hardshell to Pure Softshell, we offer constructions for all conditions and riders demands.

Hardshell

Hardshell covered pads reduce friction against the ground in case of a fall. Maximum protection from impacts often associated with pedals, rocks and other objects found on varied terrain or falls from great heights on concrete or wooden ramps.

Amplified Softshell Construction

Softshell look and feel but Hardshell performance. A thin and flexible pierce-proof insert inside the pad on top of the multi-impact soft foam secures the foam and your joints from crushed rocks or other sharp objects. Your choice when you want comfortable soft but reliable impact protection. (Insert removable for some products).

Pure Softshell

Soft foam protection for the softest and most flexible performance. Your choice when you prefer wearing the most comfortable pad but still want reliable support

MATERIALS

WHAT IS INSIDE

ACF impact foam

ACF (Arti-Lage Foam) is engineered to mimic the physical structure of human cartilage with molecular freeflow technology. Flexible and soft in the normal state but when met with impact the molecules in ACF form a hard, protective shell. The remaining impact energy is converted into barely noticeable heat before it can reach the body.

EVA foam

EVA provides great shock absorbing properties, stress-crack resistance and low-temperature toughness. It can be used in multi layers and backed with hard shell caps for a solid performance.

Memory Foam

This smart PU foam gives you a great level of comfort and safety. It absorbs impact, is comfortable and soft to wear and adapts to create an individual fit.

HDPE

High impact strength and low friction caps for use on rough and concrete ground.

COMFORT

PROTECTION BUILT FOR COMFORT

We create protective gear that is so comfortable and functional you forget you’re wearing it. And when you do fall back to earth you’re protected against the worst gravity, your bike/skateboard and hard earth can throw at you.

Horseshoe Shape

Our custom Horseshoe shape that greatly surrounds knees, elbows or shoulders. The compression-moulded foam pad with a raised top part sits perfectly around your protected joints. This shape minimizes shifting and down-sliding to keep your pad in place during action.

Pre-Shaped Design

Our pre-shaped body protection comes with a pre-bended articulated design for unrestricting wearing comfort and superior fit.

Stretchy Neoprene

Very strong and at the same time flexible over a wide temperature range, Neoprene offers great temperature regulation and shock absorbing qualities. Perforated for breathability.

Flexible Spandex

Spandex is used for a thin and low-profile design, easy usability and a flexible and comfortable wearing experience.

Anti-Slip NBR

A NBR neoprene stripe at the inner top of the pad supports an anti-slip fit, keeping the pad in place during action.

Anti-slip cuff

Silicone lamination inside top cuff to keep protector in place.

Anti-shift silicone print

A silicone print on the inside of the joint padding supports a slip-free fit and minimizes shifting

Pierce-proof insert

A thin and flexible pierce-proof insert inside the pad on top of the soft foam secures the foam and your joints from sharp objects. Insert removable for most products.

Power Band stripes

Strategically placed PU Powerband stripes, inspired by kinesiology tape, add strength to the lightweight material and significantly reduce movement when worn.

Tough Stretch Cover

Strong abrasion-resistant fabric offers great resistance against wear and is used in areas prone to high abrasion. Extremely durable but still light and flexible.

Strong tear resistant nylon

Tear resistant nylon is known for its durability and resistance to abrasions, tears and scuffs. Used in highly stressed areas, this tear resistant improves the durability of the protectors.
