We are so excited that it is spring (and almost summer) which means lots more time to get outside and have fun! While the kids are having that fun on their bikes (Fun Fact: May is National Bike Month), skateboards, roller-skates and scooters it’s important for them to be SAFE too. We found out that being safe can be fun too with Wipeout Dry Erase Protective Gear. Not only can your kids look cool in their safety gear, they can have fun making it uniquely their own too!
Little R loves to skateboard and always wears safety gear when doing it, but puts it on very begrudgingly. We have done a bit of a 180 now that he has Wipeout Dry Erase Protective Gear that lets kids customize their helmets and pads with their own designs they create using included markers and stencils. It makes it FUN to wear!
We actually all had a blast helping to decorate the new safety gear. The cool thing is that you can easily wipe off the designs and create new ones over and over again. SO, if Little R isn’t a fan of the designs the “grown-ups” created, he can erase them and replace them with his own. Actually, he can make totally new designs every time he wears them if he’s in the mood.
If your kids want a little extra inspiration or some ideas to get them started, Wipeout has developed a series of step-by-step photo tutorials as well as design printouts kids can follow. You can find them all on http://iwipeout.com/.
Safety gear can only protect kids if they wear it and making it fun helps to ensure that happens. Decorating with unique designs also helps to make the gear stand out so it doesn’t get mixed up with other kids’ gear at the skate park or wherever they happen to be hanging out.
The Wipeout Dry Erase Helmet package includes the Dry Erase helmet, 5 Dry Erase markers in assorted neon colors and 8 stencil designs. The sturdy and stylish helmet is made of ABS hard-shell construction with an EPS liner for durability. It is certified for safety protection for roller sports, including biking, skateboarding, roller-skating and scooters, for kids ages 3 to 14. Helmet sizes: 3+ (47-49cm), 5+ (49-52cm) and 8+ (52-56cm). Colors include Black, Teal, Neon Pink and Zest (a neon yellow-green), among others. Wipeout Dry Erase Protective 3-Pack includes kneepads, wrist guards, elbow pads, and 2 markers.
Wipeout Dry Erase Protective Gear is available at Amazon, Toys R Us, Target, Academy, Scheel’s and other leading retailers. With birthday parties coming up this summer, I’m thinking it will make a great gift for friends and family!

What a fun way to customize your gear! Even better that you can just wipe it off and change out the designs whenever the mood strikes!
Stacie @ Divine Lifestyle says
That’s a great idea! It can be hard to get kids to wear their protective gear. This way they can customize it so they actually want to wear it.
Bill Sweeney says
Those are awesome! I think giving the kids a way to personalize their protective equipment is an excellent way to get the kids to wear their gear.
Crystal says
It’s so crazy important that kids are protected. I love that these will encourage kids to stay safe but look cool while they do it.
Pam says
I really like that they are they are making safety gear fun. Now kids will be more likely to wear it.
Louise Bishop says
These are the coolest! My kids love stuff like this!
Rosey says
Perfect for my son. He’s always on the skate ramp and pads are always welcome here.
Annemarie LeBlanc says
Awesome product! This will encourage the kids to use safety gear when biking, skating or any other activity on wheels. I love that they can design their own gear! I will share this post with my sister. Her son needs new protective gear!
Our Family World says
I love this idea of giving the kids the chance to personalize their own protective/safety gear. Not only will they enjoy creating their own design to show off their personality and style, it will also make them enjoy wearing them to show them off to their friends. Good idea!

My boys are very much into skateboards and bikes and it would be nice to make sure that they’re safe while doing tricks and all that. This gear will definitely keep my mind at ease and they can customize it too.
