Product Information

Full details

The Troy Lee Designs Triad Knee/Shin Hard Shell Guards are designed for downhill mountain bikers and aggressive trail riders who require maximum impact protection for their knees, shins, and lower thighs. These guards combine a durable, impact-dispersing hard shell with flexible D3O technology to offer a blend of high-level security and movement, though their full-coverage design may feel bulkier than minimalist soft-shell alternatives.

FAQs

Are these guards sold individually?

No, the Troy Lee Designs Triad Knee/Shin Guards are sold as a complete set, including both a left and a right guard.

What standard of protection do they meet?

The D3O liner is CE certified to the EN 1621-1 Level 1 standard.

Can I wear these under my riding pants?

While they can fit under some loose-fitting mountain bike pants, they are designed to be worn over the skin or light base layers for maximum security.

How do I know which side is left or right?

The guards are marked for specific legs; ensure the lateral containment flanges are positioned on the outer side of your knees.

Is the D3O pad removable?

The integrated D3O liner is designed to stay within the guard structure to provide consistent protection.

Troubleshooting

Guards slipping down while riding

Ensure the elastic straps are pulled tight enough and that you are wearing them directly against the skin rather than over loose trousers.

Discomfort or pinching behind the knee

Adjust the positioning of the middle strap to ensure it isn't bunched against the back of your knee crease.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Comprehensive coverage from lower thigh to shin
  • High-performance D3O material for smart impact response
  • Hard shell exterior effectively disperses heavy impacts
  • Breathable design with integrated ventilation ports
  • Lateral support flanges improve knee stability

Cons

  • Bulky profile compared to slim-line knee pads
  • May require adjustment after long periods of movement
  • Full-leg coverage can feel warm in extreme temperatures

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure proper function, place the guard directly against the leg, ensuring the D3O knee cup is centered over the patella. Tighten the elastic straps to a snug, secure fit without restricting circulation. Because these are sold as a specific left and right pair, ensure the lateral flanges are facing the outside of your leg. After use, wipe the plastic shells down with a damp cloth to remove mud and grit. For deeper cleaning, the internal liners can typically be hand-washed with mild soap and air-dried away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the protective foams.
