FAQs
What does CE EN1621-1 Level 1 mean?
This certification indicates that the knee guard has passed specific impact tests, meeting safety standards for protective gear in sports. Level 1 signifies a certain threshold of impact energy absorption.
How durable is the Deflextion Technology shell?
The Deflextion Technology is described as 'ultra durable', designed to withstand repeated impacts and abrasion common in action sports.
Can I wear these knee guards under my pants?
Yes, the 3DF 5.0 EVO FastFit features a slim, thinner chassis fabric and a low-profile knee pad designed for comfortable wear under riding apparel like pants or shorts.
How easy is it to put these on and take them off?
The 'FastFit' hook-and-loop straps are specifically designed for quick application and removal, allowing you to put them on or take them off without needing to remove your shoes.
What kind of activities are these knee guards best suited for?
They are ideal for activities requiring knee protection and mobility, such as motocross, enduro, downhill mountain biking, and other similar action sports.
How do I clean the knee guards?
Hand wash in cold water with mild soap and air dry. Avoid machine washing, tumble drying, or using harsh detergents.
Is there a specific size chart for the 'Super Fit' option?
While described as a 'super fit' single size, it is recommended to consult the manufacturer's official sizing guide or measure your knee circumference to ensure the best possible fit before purchase.
Troubleshooting
Knee guard slips down during activity
Ensure the FastFit straps are tightened securely but not uncomfortably. Re-check your sizing against the manufacturer's guide. Clean any dirt or sweat from the straps and your leg where the guard makes contact, as this can reduce grip.
Discomfort or chafing
Verify the sizing is correct. The 'super fit' single size may require careful adjustment. Ensure the pre-curved design is oriented correctly for your leg. Try adjusting the tightness of the FastFit straps. If discomfort persists, consider alternative models.
Reduced ventilation
Ensure the perforated areas of the sleeve are not obstructed. Clean the guards regularly to remove sweat and dirt that can block airflow. In very hot conditions, consider riding with less restrictive gear if safety regulations allow.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
- Sizing: Measure your knee circumference according to the sizing guide (if provided by the manufacturer, otherwise refer to general recommendations for knee guards). The 3DF 5.0 is a single sizing for a 'super fit', so precise measurement is key.
- Application: Slide the knee guard onto your leg. Secure the FastFit hook-and-loop straps snugly around your calf and thigh, ensuring the pad is centered over your knee. The straps are designed to be adjusted without removing footwear.
Compatibility:
- The slim profile is designed to be compatible with most riding pants, shorts, and boots for various action sports.
- Ensure no other protective gear interferes with the positioning or function of the knee guards.
Care:
- Cleaning: Hand wash the knee guards in cold water with mild soap. Do not use harsh detergents or bleach.
- Drying: Air dry the knee guards away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place when not in use.
