TSG
(31)HARD SHELL, SOFT CORE - TSG
Concrete and asphalt - things that we don't want to land on with our hands, elbows, knees or heads. Until the end of the 80's, if a trick went wrong skateboarders had to be creative with their approach to protection. Provisionally put-together protectors and improvised helmets had to serve as their protective gear. The result was anything but funny in terms of effective skate protection. In order to offer better, reliable protection, in 1988 Titus Dittmann, a passionate skateboarder, founded the brand TSG. Since 2005, TSG has been owned by Ruedi Herger and his partner, who have taken over and developed the brand.The goal is to develop high-quality protection without restricting the wearer's freedom of movement when skating. Not only functional, but also stylish - TSG protective wear is fully in-tune with the skateboarding scene and its unique style. TSG gear is also fully tested by the team, certified and guaranteed to meet all the highest quality standards.
HOW MUCH PROTECTION DOES TSG PROTECTIVE GEAR REALLY OFFER ME?
Reliable protection , a perfect fit and complete comfort – three key elements to any TSG product.Perfectly fitting, comfy helmets? This technology makes it possible:
- Tuned Fit System: different-thickness comfort pads make it easy to adjust the sizing.
- Dial Fit System : with the help of a wheel at the base of the head, helmet size can quickly be adjusted.
- Snug Fit: anatomically shaped designs mean slipping and wobbling are things of the past.
- FlexTech Instant Fit : different, interconnected EPS foam segments allow the helmet to bend and adapt perfectly to the shape of the wearer's head.
And for the rest of your body, TSG ensures your safety with the following, cutting-edge technologies:
- D3O : this soft, flexible material stiffens upon impact, absorbing even more energy.
- ARTi-LAGE : this material mimics human cartilage. On impact, the soft foam becomes a hard shell.
- Memory Foam: comfort meets protection. While comfortable to wear, Memory Foam also absorbs energy during an impact.
- EVA : Resistant at even the lowest of temperatures to stress cracking and also shock-absorbing, EVA is a top performer, especially in combination with hard shell protectors.
