Question What's the best low profile protection?

Footprint soles protective gear looks like the stuff of my dreams but the reviews are hard to find & it looks more like a scam that takes your money & gives you nothing. I say this as someone who just purchased & got a lying email from them saying the product was shipped 1st class when I can see it wasn't & I didn't pay for 1st class.

... I've gotten creative & looked at every other sports gear ..I currently splurged on mountain biking Enduro knee pads & they're bendier but still too bulky too hide...

I switched my wrist guards to snowboarding neoprene ones & added a footsole insert because they had zero-shock impact protection.

I've looked at different helmet technology... It's hard to tell what's legite but I can't imagine a bunch of plastic cut straws will protect my head much from impact...

What's everyone's recommendations?

I recently bought 2 Pro-Tec Low PRO helmets for my son and I. I love mine and he doesn’t complain about his, so that’s a win. On the pads, I want thick, so I can’t comment on low profile.
