FAQs
Are these guards suitable for all types of riding?
These guards are best suited for active riding disciplines like mountain biking (downhill, enduro), motocross, and similar sports where impacts and abrasion are likely. They may be overkill for casual cycling.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the Leatt sizing chart and measure your knee and shin circumference as instructed. Ensure a snug fit that doesn't impede circulation or movement.
Can I wash these guards in a washing machine?
It is recommended to hand wash the guards with mild soap and cold water to preserve the integrity of the materials and protective elements. Do not machine wash or dry.
What is the Leatt Protection Score?
The Leatt Protection Score is a rating system developed by Leatt to help consumers compare the level of protection offered by different Leatt products. A higher score indicates more comprehensive protection.
How long is the warranty period?
Product warranty information can vary. Please refer to the product packaging or the official Leatt website for the most current warranty details.
Do these guards work with knee braces?
These guards are designed as standalone protection. They may not be compatible with all types of knee braces due to their profile and coverage.
Are the hard shell shin sliders removable?
The hard shell shin sliders are integrated into the design and are not removable.
Troubleshooting
Guards feel too tight or restrict movement
Check if the size is correct. Loosen the silicone thigh strap slightly, or ensure the guard is positioned correctly on the leg. Consider if the extended shin portion is interfering with boot fit.
Straps are not holding the guard securely
Ensure the silicone-coated thigh strap is clean and dry. Adjust the strap for optimal tightness without causing discomfort. Make sure the guard is positioned correctly on the leg.
Reduced impact protection after a crash
Inspect the guards for any cracks or damage to the hard shell or impact foam. If damaged, the protective integrity may be compromised, and the guards should be replaced.
Skin irritation or discomfort from fabric
Ensure the guards are clean and free of debris. Try wearing a thin base layer underneath. Confirm the correct size is being used, as an ill-fitting guard can cause chafing.
