The use of the most advanced technologies currently available for engineering and manufacturing cutting-edge composite components, combined with the experience accrued in this field by our technical experts, has allowed us to obtain a high performance product that offers considerable advantages. The special lay-up and optimisation of the orientation of the fibres makes it possible to obtain an extraordinary stiff yet lightweight shell. Arm impact with the gates therefore becomes an elastic phenomenon where there is no energy wasting and athletes are not slowed down in the same way as when wearing conventional stealth padded tops. The 4Armguards make impact on the forearms unperceivable, allowing athletes to assume far higher performance tactical and technical attitudes and posture. In short, they can focus on optimising their line without considering the impact with the gate. For speed reasons, it is preferable to clear the gate using the forearm (or the rear part of the shoulder) rather than with the elbow and shoulder. This is why with 4Armguards, athletes clear down the gate in the fastest possible way, in other words using the forearm, rather than with other parts of the body that would slow the action. Therefore they keep their arms forwards, thus improving both technique and performance: this is possible because they are equipped to obtain the utmost safety and confidence. The 4Armguards also offer unparalleled protection when performing slalom hairpins and flushes. In addition to considerably increasing the stiffness of the shell, the use of the exclusive “3dn” technology with 3 deviators, maximises the speed of passage over the gate thus drastically reducing the friction generated during impact and the subsequent slide. The shell’s anatomic shape allows a perfect fit to the athlete’s forearm. The stretch Velcro adapts to the shape of the arm to obtain a perfect fit and utmost comfort. Each and every detail has been carefully studied to maximise performance and is the result of the meticulous and lengthy tests performed by the world’s top skiers.
