Description & Features

POC Forearm Race Arm Guards are designed to protect alpine ski racers from repeated gate impacts while maintaining unrestricted movement and a secure fit. Developed with input from World Cup athletes, these race-optimized arm guards fit comfortably over a speed suit, providing dependable gate protection for both slalom and giant slalom training and competition without interfering with technique.

Constructed entirely from durable polypropylene, the arm guards maintain exceptional strength and resilience even in the coldest conditions. Removable EVA padding enhances comfort and can be taken out when using a speed suit with integrated forearm padding. Hook-and-loop fasteners with silicone grippers help keep the protectors securely positioned throughout every run, while the matte outer finish minimizes friction for smooth, consistent gate contact.

Construction & Technology

Race-Optimized Geometry

Developed with feedback from elite racers, the refined geometry is optimized for modern alpine ski racing. The streamlined profile provides reliable forearm coverage while allowing unrestricted movement for quick pole plants and confident gate clearance in both slalom and giant slalom.

Polypropylene Hardshell

The durable polypropylene shell is engineered to remain strong and impact resistant in cold winter conditions. Its resilient construction withstands repeated contact with race gates throughout an entire racing season.

Removable EVA Padding

Soft EVA padding increases comfort when worn over a race suit and can be easily removed for racers using speed suits with integrated forearm protection. This versatility allows the arm guards to adapt to different racing setups without sacrificing performance.

Silicone Grip System

Hook-and-loop fasteners combined with silicone grippers increase friction against the race suit, helping keep the arm guards securely in place through aggressive turns and repeated gate impacts while reducing unwanted movement.

Low-Friction Matte Finish

The matte outer coating helps the arm guards glide smoothly across race gates, minimizing drag during contact and supporting consistent speed through every turn.
