FAQs

What level of protection does this guard offer?

The guard provides EN1621-1 Level 1 back protection and features D3O® impact-absorbing inserts for the back, along with EVA foam on the chest and hips for additional protection.

Can I wear this under any jersey?

Yes, the low-profile design is intended to be worn comfortably under most standard mountain bike jerseys.

How do I wash the chest guard?

You can machine wash it cold on a gentle cycle with a gentle detergent. It should be line dried. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean.

Is the D3O® back insert removable?

Yes, the D3O® back insert is removable, which makes washing the garment easier.

Will this protect me from abrasions?

This guard is primarily designed for impact protection. It does not offer significant abrasion resistance.

Does the D3O® foam get softer with body heat?

Yes, the D3O® foam is activated by body heat, softening to conform to your body for maximum comfort and protection.

What materials is the guard made from?

The materials include 35% PU, 37% nylon, 8% polyester, and 20% EVA.

Troubleshooting

Guard feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The D3O® inserts are designed to soften and conform to your body heat, which may take a few minutes of riding. If still uncomfortable, consider a size up.

Moisture-wicking performance seems reduced

Ensure the garment is clean and free of detergent residue. Follow the recommended washing instructions carefully. Sweat and body oils can impede fabric performance if not washed out properly.

D3O® insert feels stiff

Body heat activates the D3O® polymer, making it softer and more conforming. Wear the guard for a short period, or during your ride, to allow your body heat to warm and soften the insert.
