FAQs

Are these knee pads suitable for beginners?

Yes, the Launch Pro Knee Pads offer excellent protection and comfort, making them suitable for riders of all levels, especially those tackling more challenging terrain.

Can I remove the internal hardcap?

Yes, the internal hardcap is removable, allowing you to customize the level of protection. It meets CE EN1621-1 Level 1 requirements with or without the hardcap.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the sizing guide provided by Fox Head Clothing. Measure your knee circumference and compare it to the measurements for each size (XS, S, M, L, XL, XX-Large) to find the best fit.

Are the pads hot for long climbs?

The pads feature ARIAPRENE® and micro-span construction for increased ventilation. While designed for comfort, they may feel warmer than minimal guards during very strenuous climbs in high heat.

How often should I wash my knee pads?

It's recommended to wash them after rides with significant sweat or dirt. Follow the machine wash cold and gentle cycle instructions provided in the care section.

What is the primary benefit of the KPU skid plate?

The engineered KPU skid plate provides increased abrasion resistance on the Cordura® front panel, effectively shielding your knees from impacts with trail obstacles like rocks and roots.

Do these knee pads meet safety standards?

Yes, the Fox Launch Pro Knee Pads are CE-certified, meeting EN1621-1 Level 1 CE requirements for impact protection.

Troubleshooting

Knee pads feel too tight or restrictive.

Ensure the hook and loop adjuster is not overtightened. If the issue persists, consider trying a different size, as fit can vary between individuals.

Pads slipping down during ride.

Check that the extra-wide elastic upper band and silicone gripper are clean and properly positioned. Ensure the hook and loop strap is securely fastened.

Reduced breathability during hot weather.

While designed for ventilation, extreme heat may still cause some warmth. Ensure the pads are correctly sized to allow for airflow. Clean the pads regularly as per care instructions to maintain material performance.
