Enjoy your sport longer
Many hardcore sports crew who are in their 30's, today suffer eye, ear and skin problems which are the result of time hard at it without adequate protection since their mid to late teens.
With crew as young as 6 or 7 already carving in most sports today, the potential for such problems is greatly increased and with it the potential for long term health disorders.
Add to that the high level of radical performance that today, sports demand and there is a clear-cut case that using adequate protection is a smart alternative. None use of adequate protective gear must increase the risk of injury. Avoid years of pain, medical expense and possible fatal injury and enjoy your sport longer.
