FAQ on the subject of protectors

What should I consider when buying protection equipment?

Protection equipment needs to fit perfectly so that it doesn’t slip in case of an accident. The protectors should be formed anatomically and correspond to the biomechanical characteristics of the human body. You should also pay attention to good seaming. The plastic shells should not have any sharp edges.

What is special about the “Biomechanical Protectors” by HUDORA?

The “Biomechanical Protectors” were developed in cooperation with leading orthopaedists, and in shape and function they are well-adapted to the specific requirements of the human body. The wrist guards fix the wrists in the anatomically most stable position, so that you cannot overstretch the wrist when you support yourself in case of a fall. The extreme force of the impact is absorbed by the padding. The shells allow you to keep gliding on the tarmac surface, which gradually reduces the kinetic energy. Due to their thoroughly functional shape, HUDORA “Biomechanical Protectors” are very comfortable to wear. Stiftung Warentest rated the “Biomechanical Protectors” by HUDORA as “good” (2.5), so that the HUDORA set was awarded the runner-up position among all the protectors tested (for more information, click here).

What does good protection equipment include?

Good protection equipment consists of knee, elbow and wrist guards, and a helmet. In the dark, you can increase your safety by wearing reflectors. The “Biomechanical Protectors” set includes all three types of guards and received a “good” rating by Stiftung Warentest. To ensure that the guards fit well, the protectors can also be bought individually in sizes S, M, or L. For children, HUDORA offers a special set that apart from the “Biomechanical Protectors” also comprises a helmet whose test rating was “good” as well. In addition, you can buy various shapes and types of reflectors by HUDORA. Please bear in mind that generally protectors cannot prevent all injuries that may occur – careful rolling is always the best protection from accidents.

Can protectors be repaired?

No. For safety reasons, protectors should never be repaired. Don’t forget to check your protection equipment after a fall. If any deformation, splintering, fractures, or small tears in the seams are visible, or if the padding shows pressure marks, the article should be replaced. Otherwise, the protective function of the equipment may no longer be relied on.
