2. Consignes de sécurité

Always prioritize safety when engaging in sports activities. Wearing appropriate protective gear is crucial to minimize the risk of injury.

• Bon ajustement : Ensure all protective pieces fit snugly but comfortably. Loose gear may shift during activity and offer inadequate protection.
• Utilisation prévue : This protective set is designed for normal rollsport activities, including inline skating and skateboarding. It conforms to the DIN EN 14120 + A1:2007 standard for protective equipment.
• Age and Size Guidelines (Size L): This set is suitable for children aged 9-15 years, weighing over 50 kg, and with a height between 135-170 cm. Using gear outside these recommendations may compromise safety.
• Inspection: Before each use, inspect all protective pieces for any signs of damage, wear, or deterioration. Do not use damaged gear.
• Utilisation du casque : Always wear a helmet in conjunction with this protective gear for head protection.

3. Installation et réglage

Correctly fitting your protective gear is essential for maximum safety and comfort. Follow these steps to ensure proper application:

1. Genouillères :
   • Slide the knee pad onto the knee, ensuring the hard shell covers the kneecap.
   • Secure the two flexible Velcro straps firmly around the leg. The straps should be tight enough to prevent the pad from slipping but not so tight as to restrict circulation or cause discomfort.
2. Coudières :
   • Position the elbow pad over the elbow, with the hard shell centered on the elbow joint.
   • Fasten the two flexible Velcro straps around the arm. Adjust for a secure and comfortable fit.
3. Palm Protectors:
   • Slide your hand into the palm protector. The rigid splint should be positioned on the palm side, extending down the wrist.
   • Secure the three inflexible Velcro straps around the wrist and hand. Ensure the protector covers the palm and wrist area adequately.

After fitting, move your limbs to ensure the pads stay in place during activity. If any pad feels loose or uncomfortable, readjust the straps.

4. Fonctionnement et utilisation

Once the protective gear is correctly fitted, you are ready to engage in your chosen activity. Remember these points for optimal usage:

• Always wear the full set of protective gear (knee pads, elbow pads, palm protectors) along with a helmet for comprehensive protection.
• Ensure all straps are securely fastened before starting any activity.
• The gear is designed to absorb impacts during falls. While it reduces the risk of injury, it does not guarantee complete protection from all types of accidents.
• Regularly check the fit during extended periods of activity, as movement can sometimes cause the gear to loosen.

5. Entretien

Proper care and maintenance will extend the lifespan of your Crivit protective gear and ensure its continued effectiveness.

• Nettoyage: The gear features an antibacterial and anti-odor lining. For cleaning, wipe the surfaces with a damp cloth and mild soap. Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners. Allow to air dry completely before storage. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
• Stockage: Store the protective gear in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
• Inspection: Periodically inspect the stitching, straps, Velcro fasteners, and hard shells for any signs of wear, cracks, or damage. Replace any damaged components or the entire set if significant wear is observed.

6. Dépannage

If you encounter issues with your protective gear, consider the following common solutions:

• Pads feel loose or slip:
  • Ensure all Velcro straps are tightened securely.
  • Verify that the size (L) is appropriate for the user's age, weight, and height as per the safety guidelines.
• Pads cause discomfort or chafing:
  • Check if the pads are positioned correctly on the joints.
  • Ensure straps are not overtightened.
  • The internal foam padding is designed to prevent chafing; if discomfort persists, re-evaluate the fit or consider if the gear is suitable for the user.
• Visible damage to the gear:
  • If any part of the hard shell is cracked, straps are broken, or padding is severely worn, the protective capacity may be compromised. It is recommended to replace the damaged gear immediately.
