The Shock Sleeve Pro Elbow Gasket by Ennui may not provide the identical level of safeguarding as a thickly padded, hard-cap protector, but it certainly compensates for this with the freedom it permits during your action sport.
Internally, a stretchable knitted cotton sleeve is equipped with silicone strips to prevent slipping, ensuring a tight fit and that the pads remain securely in place constantly. It’s equipped with a specially developed material - SPC - which is a joint creation of the Ennui/Powerslide development team and the experts at MyFit, who produce skate liners for Powerslide.
This material is designed to not only absorb the force of impact but also to distribute it throughout the structure, limiting the impact on your joints as extensively as possible. The Pro version has an abrasion-resistant Kevlar coating, delivering greater flexibility, comfort, and protection compared to the non-pro version and facilitating even greater freedom of movement.
A significant advantage of this soft-shell protection is its lightweight nature and the ability to wear it discreetly beneath your everyday clothing - allowing you to maintain a stylish appearance while being fully protected.
Besides crash protection, the pro version also guards against slides thanks to its highly abrasion-resistant Aramid fibre cover. It is a wise option for downhill longboarders and speed skaters. The pro model is even somewhat lighter than the non-pro version, weighing almost nothing.
