Although the Shock Sleeve Pro Knee Gasket from Ennui does not offer the same degree of protection as a heavily padded, hard-cap protector, it certainly compensates by allowing unrestricted movement during your action sport.
An elasticated knitted cotton sleeve has been internally lined with silicone strips to prevent slippage, ensuring a secure fit and that the pads remain in place at all times. These pads are crafted from the specially developed material - SPC - co-created by the development teams at Ennui/Powerslide and the experts at MyFit - who produce skate liners for Powerslide.
This material not only absorbs impact shock but also aids in dispersing it throughout the structure - Ensuring that stress on your joints is minimised as much as possible. The Pro version is enhanced with an abrasion-resistant Kevlar coating, which offers more flexible comfort and protection than the non-pro version, allowing greater freedom of movement.
A notable advantage of this soft-shell protection is its lightweight nature and also the capacity to be worn under your regular clothing - Letting you remain stylish and fully protected simultaneously.
In addition to crash protection, the pro version also defends against slides with its high abrasion resistant Aramid fibre covering. A wise option for downhill longboarders and speed skaters. The pro model is also marginally lighter than the non-pro version, being almost weightless.
