Product Information

Full details

The Fox Baseframe Pro Short Sleeve in Black (XL) is a lightweight, breathable base layer designed for adult cyclists seeking low-profile impact protection under their jerseys. Its key benefit is the integration of D3O® impact protection for shoulders and back, which conforms to the body for comfort and minimal restriction during rides, while effectively managing moisture. A potential caveat is that while it offers certified protection, it cannot fully prevent the risk of injury.

FAQs

What is D3O® technology?

D3O® is a smart material that is flexible and soft under normal conditions but locks together and absorbs impact energy when a force is applied, providing excellent protection.

Can I remove the back protector?

Yes, the CE certified D3O® Viper™ back insert is removable, allowing for easier washing of the garment.

Is this a standalone armor piece?

No, this is a lightweight base layer designed to be worn under a jersey or armor for added, low-profile impact protection.

What certifications does it meet?

It exceeds EN1621-1 Level 1 back certification and includes EN1621-1 Level 1 D3O® shoulder inserts.

How does the sizing work?

The sizing follows standard adult apparel sizing. It is designed for a snug, second-skin fit. Refer to a sizing chart if available, or choose your usual size for a close fit.

Can I wear this in very cold weather?

While it offers moisture-wicking, it is primarily designed for moderate to warm conditions due to its breathability. For very cold weather, it could be used as a base layer, but additional insulation would be required.

Does the D3O® material affect flexibility?

The D3O® material is designed to be flexible and conform to the body with heat, minimizing restrictions on movement during athletic activity.

Troubleshooting

D3O® pads feel stiff or hard

The D3O® polymer requires body heat to soften and conform. Wear the garment for a short period; the warmth from your body should make the pads more flexible.

Base layer feels too warm

Ensure the garment is worn directly against the skin to maximize moisture-wicking. Check that there are no blockages to airflow through the mesh panels. For very hot conditions, consider lighter-weight non-protective base layers if impact protection is not the primary concern.

Chafing or discomfort

Ensure the correct size is being worn. The fit should be snug but not tight. Adjust the position of the back insert if necessary. Wear with smooth, non-irritating cycling shorts or bibs.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides certified D3O® impact protection for critical areas.
  • Lightweight and breathable, ideal for warm conditions.
  • Conforms to body shape for superior comfort and mobility.
  • Wicks away moisture effectively to keep the rider dry.
  • Designed for a low-profile fit under jerseys.

Cons

  • Does not offer full body protection; it's a base layer with targeted impact zones.
  • The effectiveness of D3O® protection is dependent on proper fit and body heat activation.
  • May require adjustment to find the perfect fit under different jersey styles.
  • Higher protection levels may be required for extreme downhill riding.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Fox Baseframe Pro Short Sleeve is designed to be worn directly against the skin or over a thin wicking layer. Ensure the D3O® back insert is correctly positioned in its designated pocket. The shoulder pads are integrated into the garment. The fit should be snug but not constricting.

Compatibility: This base layer is designed to be worn under standard cycling jerseys and looser-fitting armor. It is compatible with most mountain biking apparel. The material is 100% nylon elastic mesh.

Care Instructions:

  • Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle.
  • Use a gentle detergent.
  • Line dry only.
  • Do not bleach.
  • Do not iron.
  • Do not dry clean.
