K2 Redline Race Guard Set Protection Gear

K2 Redline Race Guards are targeted towards speedskating enthusiasts who want to protect themselves from rather painful road rash during falls. These aren’t „classic” protection pads, as they won’t keep you safe from contusions – this is because they were designed to not restrict movement, be as tight fitting to the body as possible (they can be worn over racing suit or light clothing, too) and thus, reduce drag during skating.

If you know how it feels to “burn” your knee or elbow during fall, you’ll appreciate a protection from just that, even though their usefulness is obviously limited. Thanks to their design, Redline Race Guards should not affect your performance on the road in any way and trust us – you’ll thank yourself for buying these when time comes to have a close-up meeting with asphalt!

K2 Redline Race Gloves are made for people who love speedskating and would like to have a some degree of protection for palms of their hands. They do not stabilize wrist as normal wrist guards do, but prevent your skin from getting road rash during fall and take care of your knuckles. This is why they are fairly minimalist and lightweight, so they won’t impact your performance.
