Product Information
Full details
The Fox Launch Elbow Guards are designed for mountain bike enthusiasts and trail riders who demand a balance between high-level impact protection and all-day pedaling comfort. These guards feature D3O impact-absorbing technology, making them an excellent choice for aggressive riding where protection is non-negotiable; however, users should note that the slip-on design requires precise sizing to ensure they remain in place during high-intensity sessions.

FAQs
Are the D3O inserts removable?
Yes, the inserts can be removed to make washing the sleeves much easier.
Do these guards meet safety standards?
Yes, they meet EN1621-1 Level 1 CE requirements for impact protection.
How do I wash these guards?
Remove the D3O inserts, hand wash the sleeves with mild soap, and air dry.
Can these be worn under a jersey?
Yes, the low-profile design allows them to be worn comfortably under most long-sleeve jerseys.
What happens if I crash and hit the D3O pad?
D3O is designed to absorb the impact. Inspect the pad afterward for structural damage; if the pad shows signs of deformation or tearing, it should be replaced.
Troubleshooting
Guard slips down during riding
Ensure the silicone gripper is directly against your skin and not over a jersey. Tighten the hook and loop adjuster strap.
Guards feel stiff or uncomfortable
Ensure the guards are correctly oriented with the 'pre-curve' facing the crook of your arm. The body heat will help the D3O material soften to your arm shape.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Certified EN1621-1 Level 1 impact protection
- Removable inserts allow for easier washing of the sleeve
- Silicone print prevents the guards from sliding down
- Lightweight and breathable for extended rides
Cons
- Sizing must be accurate to avoid movement
- Hook and loop straps require occasional adjustment
- Hand-washing recommended to maintain D3O integrity
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, slide the guard on with the silicone print facing your skin. Use the hook and loop adjusters to fine-tune the tension, but avoid overtightening, as this can restrict blood flow and lead to arm pump. For care, always remove the D3O inserts before laundering the sleeves. Hand wash the fabric sleeves using mild detergent and air dry in the shade to maintain the elasticity of the grippers and the integrity of the antimicrobial treatment. Regularly inspect the D3O inserts for any signs of cracking or damage after a significant crash.
