Protections

Safety and confidence: the keys to progression

Skateboarding is a demanding discipline. Wearing protections is not only a guarantee of safety, it is also a way to gain confidence to clear technical milestones or try out bowls. At Independent Skateshop, we select equipment tested by riders, recognized for their reliability and durability, perfect to complete your safety and accessories gear.

Why choose our protections?

• Homologation & Safety: Our helmets meet the strictest standards to ensure optimal protection. Safety is the priority for riding without fear.
• "Skate-Focused" Ergonomics: Unlike generic protections, our knee and elbow pads offer total freedom of movement. Check out our buying guides to properly adjust your gear.
• High-performance materials: We favor high-impact absorption foams and rigid shells capable of withstanding friction on concrete without cracking.
• Long-lasting comfort: With breathable fabrics, our protections prevent irritations, even during the longest sessions. It is the ideal ally for your technical T-shirts.
