7iDP, Sam Hill Lite, Elbow/Forearm Guard

The 7iDP Sam Hill Lite Elbow/Forearm Guard is a minimalist, signature mountain bike pad engineered specifically for trail, enduro, and all-day riding comfort. Housed in an ultra-slim sleeve, it is optimized to provide high-mobility abrasion protection without the bulk of traditional hard shell armor.

Key Performance Specifications

According to 7iDP's official specifications, the guard utilizes a high-tech material configuration built for maximum breathability:

• Ultra-Thin Padding: Features a 6mm slow-rebounding foam core that molds to your body using natural body heat. At just 6mm, it is among the thinnest certified pads available.
• Safety Certification: Fully certified to CE EN 1621-1:2012 Level 1 standards, proving impact safety despite its slim layout.
• Chassis Fabric: Built from a durable Compression Square Line Ripstop Spandex mixed with a 4-way stretch mesh back panel to actively wick moisture and maximize airflow.
• Non-Slip Construction: Features a slip-on design with an elongated upper sleeve that sits high on the bicep. It relies on internal silicone gripper strips at both the top and bottom cuffs to keep the sleeve locked in position during rough descents.

Official Sizing Chart

Proper sizing is crucial since these guards rely entirely on a compression fit to stay up. To find your size, measure the widest part of your bicep approximately 6 inches above the elbow:

• Small (S): 8" – 10" (20 – 25 cm)
• Medium (M): 10" – 12" (25 – 30 cm)
• Large (L): 12" – 14" (30 – 35 cm)
• X-Large (XL): 14" – 16" (35 – 40 cm)
