G-form produces a variety of impact protection devices that we will be covering in this article. Most important to rafters are the G-Form Knee-Shin Pads and the Pro X-2 Elbow Guards. I also have been two secondary pieces that are extremely useful, The Pro-X Compression Shorts and Pro-X Compression Shirt. Check out the full review at: [ Ссылка ]
If you are a creek boater then the all the pads will help you a lot to avoid injury. If you are a commercial guide I would highly recommend the shirt as well since you get a lot of rib and shoulder hits from your guest’s t-grips. If I were to rate the usefulness from most to least in different circumstances they would be as follows:
Creek Boating – Elbows, Shins, Shorts, Shirt
Commercial Guiding – Shirt, Shins, Elbows, Shorts
Rowing – Knee-Shins, Shorts, Shirt
If you row a lot, the knee- shin pads are probably the best investment a rower can get. They are extremely effective at mitigating impact to the knees if you are tossed around violently in the raft.
