Product Details

Overview & Technology

Lizard Skins Youth Soft Arm Guard (PN 862361, MPN EGYDS100) pairs simple, proven materials with kid-friendly design to keep young riders protected without slowing them down. Constructed from 3/8" EVA foam, the guard absorbs and disperses impacts while remaining flexible enough for natural arm movement. The low-profile design sits comfortably under jerseys and pads with a thin profile that balances protection and mobility. Soft Velcro plush straps secure the guard in place while preventing irritation to delicate skin—ideal for repeated on/off by children learning to kit up themselves.

Key Features & Benefits

Material and construction: 3/8" closed-cell EVA foam offers dependable shock absorption, is water-resistant, and wipes clean easily after muddy rides. The foam core is wrapped in a durable textile backing for abrasion resistance on scrapes and slides. Retention and comfort: Plush-backed Velcro straps provide a secure hold without chafing, and the lightweight 0.25 lb construction keeps fatigue to a minimum on long rides. The guard protects both elbow and forearm zones—coverage that reduces bruises and road rash from common youth crashes.

Fit, Size & Compatibility

This item is a Youth Universal (U) size meant for children 12 and under. The flexible EVA foam and adjustable Velcro straps accommodate a wide range of arm shapes and growth spurts, making it a good multi-season choice. For best fit, measure around the widest part of the forearm and compare to your typical youth sizing guidelines. The low-profile shape fits under jerseys and most elbow sleeves; however, it is not a substitute for rigid, CE-certified full-shell pads used in high-speed downhill or enduro racing. Pairs well with youth knee pads, gloves, and a well-fitting helmet for a complete protection setup.

Who It's For

The Lizard Skins Youth Soft Arm Guard is built for young riders starting out or progressing through trail, park, BMX, pump track, and recreational riding. It's aimed at parents and caregivers who want reliable everyday protection that is comfortable and easy for kids to manage. Perfect for lessons, bike camps, after-school rides, and weekend trail sessions, this guard protects small elbows and forearms against common impacts while encouraging confidence and longer seat time.

Frequently Asked Questions

What age or size is this youth arm guard suitable for?

The Youth Soft Arm Guard is sized as a universal youth (U) and is recommended for children 12 and under. Its flexible 3/8" EVA foam and adjustable Velcro straps accommodate a range of arm sizes and growth, but you should measure the widest part of the forearm for best fit guidance.

How much protection does the 3/8" EVA foam provide?

The 3/8" closed-cell EVA foam offers reliable shock absorption for scrapes, bumps, and low- to medium-impact falls common in youth riding. It protects against abrasions and bruises but is not a substitute for hard-shell, CE-certified pads used in high-speed downhill or competitive enduro racing.

Can I wash the arm guard in a machine washer?

Hand washing or spot cleaning is recommended. EVA foam is water-resistant but prolonged machine washing can degrade adhesives and the plush Velcro backing. Use mild soap, lukewarm water, and air dry away from direct heat.

Will the guard stay in place during active riding?

Yes—soft, plush-backed Velcro straps secure the guard and minimize slippage while remaining comfortable against skin. For very active park or BMX sessions, check fit before each ride and tighten straps as needed to prevent rotation.

Is this guard suitable for downhill or enduro racing?

This youth soft arm guard is ideal for trail, park, BMX, and recreational riding, but it should not be used as a replacement for certified hard-shell elbow protection in high-speed downhill or enduro racing. For gravity disciplines, choose CE-rated, full-coverage pads.

What color and variant options are available?

This product is available in Black as the Lizard Skins Soft Arm Guard Youth Black (PN 862361, MPN EGYDS100). Size category is Youth (U).

Buying Guide

When choosing youth arm guards look for a balance of protection, comfort, and simplicity. Closed-cell EVA foam at around 3/8" thickness delivers good impact absorption without excessive bulk—ideal for kids who need freedom of movement. Adjustable straps, soft backing, and lightweight construction matter because children are more likely to keep protective gear on when it's comfortable. Consider the riding discipline: soft guards like this one are excellent for trail riding, park, BMX, and everyday protection. For gravity or high-speed racing opt for certified, hard-shell pads. Check sizing by measuring the forearm circumference and look for easy-care materials that can be spot cleaned or wiped down after muddy sessions.
