Slalom is a contact sport from the elbow down. A racer holding a tight line puts a forearm through every gate, and a junior athlete who isn't protected learns to steer wide instead of cross-blocking — a habit that costs time and takes years to unlearn.
The Hero Forearm Guard is the fix. A high-impact polyamide shell takes the gate strike and distributes it across the panel, backed by mono-density foam that keeps the guard comfortable through a full training block. CE certified, so it meets a recognized protective standard rather than just adding bulk.
At 200 grams for the set, they're light enough that a racer forgets they're on. The elastic strap and hook-and-loop closure means a junior can get them on over a race suit without help, which matters more than it sounds — protection that requires a parent to fit it is protection that gets skipped when the start list is moving.
Pairs with the Hero Shin Guards for full gate protection.
