FAQs

What is the CE certification level?

The Alpinestars Paragon Lite Knee Protectors are CE-certified to Level 1, providing impact protection.

Are these protectors suitable for downhill mountain biking?

While these protectors offer protection, they are specifically designed for Enduro and Cross Country riding and may not be suitable for the extreme impact scenarios of downhill mountain biking. Consider more robust protection for that type of riding.

How should I measure to get the correct size?

Measure the circumference of your child's thigh, approximately 6 inches above the center of the knee. Also, measure the circumference of your child's calf, approximately 6 inches below the center of the knee. Use the size chart provided by Alpinestars to determine the best fit.

Can these protectors be washed in a washing machine?

It is not recommended to machine wash these protectors. Clean them by hand with a damp cloth and mild soap.

How long do these protectors last?

The lifespan of the protectors depends on usage and care. Regularly inspect them for wear and tear. Replace them if they show signs of damage.

Are they sold as a pair?

Yes, Alpinestars Paragon Lite Knee Protectors are sold as a pair.

What is the warranty on these protectors?

Warranty information may vary. Check the Alpinestars website or the product packaging for warranty details.

Troubleshooting

Protectors feel uncomfortable or constricting.

Ensure you have the correct size. Adjust the position of the protectors and the elasticated cuffs to ensure a comfortable fit. They should not be too tight.

Protectors slip down during riding.

Check the fit and ensure the elasticated cuffs are positioned correctly, and the protectors are not too loose. If they are too loose, you may need a smaller size.

Protectors are too hot.

Ensure proper ventilation and check if the protectors are worn appropriately over clothing. Consider wearing thinner base layers to improve airflow.
