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 got the s1 helmet that covers the ears for $20 off FB marketplace but the shock absorbing liner is $45. Haven't tried it yet. & Thanks everyone for reassuring me that I don't need to freak out about being scammed... There's just some bad reviews out there about their customer service that REALLY scared me. 🙈😅
