{"product_id":"rothco-hard-shell-forearm-guards","title":"Rothco Hard Shell Forearm Guards","description":"\u003cp class=\"product-lead\"\u003eThe Rothco Hard Shell Forearm Guards are a one-size, sold-in-pairs set of impact and abrasion guards covering the forearms and elbows, built for tactical training, outdoor activities, and other high-contact pursuits. The outer shell is non-reflective polycarbonate; the interior is lined with mesh-covered EVA foam cushioning and a polyester tricot lining. Three hook-and-loop closures on the back allow the fit to be adjusted to the wearer's arm. A nylon gear bag is included for storage and transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eBuilt to Take Impact\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe non-reflective polycarbonate shell on the Rothco Hard Shell Forearm Guards is rigid enough to distribute and deflect impact forces across the guard's surface rather than concentrating them on the forearm or elbow. The non-reflective finish keeps the guards from catching light during low-profile or outdoor use, which matters in field and training environments where glare is a concern.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eComfort Over Extended Wear\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eBehind the polycarbonate shell, a layer of mesh-covered EVA foam cushioning absorbs residual shock and keeps the hard shell from pressing directly against the arm. The mesh covering promotes airflow across the foam surface, reducing heat buildup during sustained activity. A polyester tricot lining sits against the skin, adding a soft contact layer that helps the guards stay comfortable through longer sessions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eAdjustable Fit and Easy Storage\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThree hook-and-loop closures on the back of each guard let the wearer dial in the fit independently at multiple points along the forearm, accommodating different arm sizes within the one-size design and allowing the guards to be tightened or loosened quickly. When not in use, both guards pack into the included nylon gear bag, keeping them together and protecting the shell surface during storage or transport.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eFeatures\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNon-reflective polycarbonate shell:\u003c\/strong\u003e rigid outer layer that deflects impacts and abrasions without producing glare\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMesh-covered EVA foam cushioning:\u003c\/strong\u003e absorbs residual shock and promotes airflow against the arm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003ePolyester tricot lining:\u003c\/strong\u003e soft interior contact layer for comfort against skin\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eThree hook-and-loop closures:\u003c\/strong\u003e adjustable fit at multiple points along the back of each guard\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSold in pairs:\u003c\/strong\u003e both guards included, one size\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eNylon gear bag included:\u003c\/strong\u003e storage and transport bag packed with each pair\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003ctable\u003e\n  \u003cthead\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eSpecification\u003c\/th\u003e\n      \u003cth\u003eDetail\u003c\/th\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/thead\u003e\n  \u003ctbody\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eShell Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNon-reflective polycarbonate\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eLining Material\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePolyester tricot\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCushioning\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eMesh-covered EVA foam\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eClosure System\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eThree hook-and-loop closures (back)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSizing\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eOne size\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eSold As\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePair (two guards)\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eIncluded Accessories\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eNylon gear bag\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eWeight (pair)\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003e1.75 lb\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n    \u003ctr\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003eCountry of Origin\u003c\/td\u003e\n      \u003ctd\u003ePakistan\u003c\/td\u003e\n    \u003c\/tr\u003e\n  \u003c\/tbody\u003e\n\u003c\/table\u003e\n\n\u003cp\u003e⚠ \u003cstrong\u003eCalifornia Proposition 65 Warning:\u003c\/strong\u003e This product contains Di(2-ethylhexyl)phthalate (DEHP), a chemical known to the State of California to cause cancer and birth defects or other reproductive harm.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch2\u003eWho This Is For and Isn't\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"product-fit-yes\"\u003eThe Rothco Hard Shell Forearm Guards suit users who need impact and abrasion protection for the forearms and elbows during tactical training, airsoft, paintball, outdoor work, or similar high-contact activities.
