Product Information

Full details

The Fox Baseframe Pro D3O Vest Guard is designed for adult male riders seeking advanced impact protection without compromising mobility. Its key benefit is the integration of D3O® armor, which absorbs impacts effectively across various temperatures while maintaining flexibility. A potential caveat is that while it offers CE-level coverage, it is not a substitute for full body armor in all extreme scenarios.

FAQs

What does 'D3O®' mean for protection?

D3O® is a patented impact protection material. It's soft and flexible in its normal state but instantly locks together upon impact, absorbing and dissipating energy before it can reach the body. This provides excellent protection while maintaining flexibility.

Is this vest suitable for all types of riding?

The vest offers CE-level protection for chest and back, making it suitable for activities like motocross, mountain biking, and similar action sports where impacts are a concern. However, it is not a substitute for full body armor in extreme scenarios requiring maximum coverage.

Can I wear this over or under my jersey?

The Baseframe Pro D3O Vest Guard is designed to be worn as a base layer, underneath your riding jersey. Its form-fitting and moisture-wicking properties are optimized for this configuration.

How do I know if I have the correct size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Fox Head Clothing. The vest should fit snugly but comfortably, allowing for full range of motion without being overly tight. Ensure the adjustment straps can be secured properly.

Will the D3O® armor still work after multiple impacts?

D3O® armor is designed to withstand multiple impacts without losing its protective properties. After an impact, it will return to its flexible state. However, if the armor itself appears damaged, it should be replaced.

Is the vest waterproof?

The vest is made from moisture-wicking and breathable fabrics designed to manage sweat and airflow. It is not waterproof and should not be expected to provide protection from rain.

Troubleshooting

Vest feels too tight or restrictive

Adjust the elastic straps for a looser fit. Ensure the size selected is appropriate for your body measurements. The stretch fabric will conform over time, but initial fit is crucial.

Armor inserts are not sitting correctly

Remove the armor and re-insert them into their designated pockets, ensuring they lie flat and are fully seated. Check that the vest is being worn correctly.

Vest is not drying properly

Ensure the vest is hung in a well-ventilated area. Avoid direct heat sources. Check that all internal pockets are not holding excess moisture.

Zipper is difficult to operate

Ensure the fabric is clear of the zipper teeth. Gently work the zipper up and down. If persistent, contact customer support.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Provides excellent impact absorption with D3O® technology.
  • Maintains high mobility and comfort due to the flexible design and breathable materials.
  • Effective airflow management keeps the rider cooler during activity.
  • Easy maintenance with removable armor for washing.
  • CE-level protection for chest and back meets safety standards.

Cons

  • May not offer the same level of coverage as full-coverage body armor.
  • The form-fitting nature might be restrictive for some body types.
  • Requires separate purchase of compatible neck brace if needed.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup:

  1. Inspect Armor: Ensure all D3O® armor inserts (chest and back) are correctly positioned within their designated pockets.
  2. Fasten Vest: Secure the vest using the articulated YKK front zipper. Adjust the elastic straps for a snug, comfortable fit that does not restrict breathing or movement.
  3. Neck Brace Compatibility (Optional): If using a neck brace, ensure the removable insert on the back protector is taken out to allow for proper brace integration.

Compatibility:

  • Protective Standards: Meets CE EN1621-1 Level 1 for chest protection and CE EN1621-2 Level 2 for central back protection.
  • Neck Braces: Compatible with select neck brace systems when the back protector insert is removed.
  • Temperature Range: D3O® armor performs optimally in both high and low temperatures, maintaining its protective qualities.

Care:

  1. Remove Armor: Carefully remove all D3O® armor inserts from the vest pockets.
  2. Wash Vest: Machine wash the vest using cold water on a gentle cycle with mild detergent. Do not use bleach or fabric softeners.
  3. Drying: Hang the vest to air dry. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the fabric and D3O® material.
  4. Armor Care: Wipe D3O® armor inserts with a damp cloth if necessary. Avoid harsh chemicals.
  5. Storage: Store the vest in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
