FAQs

Are these knee pads suitable for beginners?

Yes, the Fox Launch Pro Knee Pads offer excellent protection suitable for riders of all levels, including beginners who want to prioritize safety while learning.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the brand's sizing chart, typically found on their website or product packaging. Measure the circumference of your thigh and calf at the specified points and compare to the chart. A proper fit is crucial for both comfort and protection.

Can I wash these in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash or tumble dry the Fox Launch Pro Knee Pads. Hand washing in cold water with mild soap and air drying is the preferred method to preserve the integrity of the materials and protective elements.

What is the main protective technology used?

The pads utilize CE-certified impact absorption, an engineered KPU skid plate for abrasion resistance, and contoured EVA side panels for comprehensive protection.

Will these pads restrict my pedaling ability?

The design aims to balance protection with mobility. While some restriction is inherent with padded protection, the ergonomic design and secure fit are intended to minimize interference with pedaling.

Are these waterproof?

The knee pads are not designed to be waterproof. While they offer protection from impacts and abrasion, they are not intended to keep your knees dry in wet conditions.

Troubleshooting

Pads slipping down during ride

Ensure the extra-wide elastic upper band and any lower straps are tightened securely but not uncomfortably. Check that the silicone gripper is clean and free of dirt or debris. Re-evaluate the sizing if the issue persists, as the pads may be too large.

Discomfort or chafing

Adjust the strap tension to find a balance between security and comfort. Ensure the pads are positioned correctly, with the knee cup centered. If chafing occurs on the skin, consider wearing thin moisture-wicking socks or liners underneath.

Pads feel too hot

While designed for ventilation, extensive padding can increase heat. Ensure the pads are clean, as dirt buildup can impede airflow. For extremely hot conditions, consider shorter rides or breaks, or a less padded alternative if heat is a primary concern.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides certified impact protection for critical knee areas.
  • Durable construction with abrasion-resistant KPU skid plate.
  • Offers good coverage including side protection.
  • Secure fit system with silicone gripper prevents slipping.
  • Designed for comfort and breathability during long rides.

Cons

  • May be warmer than minimalist knee sleeves due to extensive padding.
  • Requires careful sizing to ensure a comfortable and secure fit.
  • Not designed for extreme impacts beyond typical trail riding scenarios.
  • KPU skid plate may scuff on rough surfaces over time.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These knee pads are designed for immediate use. Simply slide them on, ensuring the patella cup is centered over your kneecap and the straps are comfortably snug. Adjust the extra-wide elastic upper band and any lower straps (if applicable on specific models) for a secure fit that doesn't restrict blood flow.

Compatibility: The Fox Launch Pro Knee Pads are compatible with most cycling shorts and pants. They are suitable for various cycling disciplines including downhill, enduro, trail, and BMX.

Care: To clean the knee pads, hand wash them in cold water with mild soap. Do not use bleach or harsh detergents. Rinse thoroughly and allow them to air dry completely away from direct sunlight. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can damage the materials and protective components.
