Product Information

Full details

The Fox Launch Pro Elbow Guards are designed for adult male riders seeking a balance of comfort, mobility, and essential impact protection during their rides. Their key benefit lies in the combination of CE-certified D3O inserts and a durable construction, offering reliable defense without compromising movement. A potential consideration is the slip-on design, which may require careful fitting for optimal security. These guards feature a KPU skid plate for abrasion resistance, an extra-wide elastic upper band with a silicone gripper for a secure fit, and ARIAPRENE® and micro-span construction for increased ventilation.

FAQs

Are these elbow guards suitable for all types of cycling?

The Fox Launch Pro Elbow Guards are best suited for activities like mountain biking, downhill, and enduro riding where impact and abrasion protection are primary concerns. They may offer more protection than needed for casual road cycling.

How do I know if I have the right size?

Measure your arm circumference at the point indicated in the sizing chart provided by Fox Racing. The guards should fit snugly but comfortably, with the elastic bands providing a secure hold without cutting off circulation.

Can I wash the elbow guards in a washing machine?

It is recommended to hand wash the elbow guards with mild soap and cold water. Avoid using a washing machine or dryer, as this can damage the protective materials and affect their performance.

What does CE-certified mean?

CE certification indicates that the product has met the minimum safety requirements set by the European Standards for protective equipment. For these guards, it means they meet EN1621-1 Level 1 standards for impact protection.

How do I remove the internal hardcap?

The internal hardcap is designed to be removable. Typically, you can access and remove it by carefully reaching inside the sleeve of the elbow guard where the D3O® insert is located.

Will these guards stay in place during aggressive riding?

Yes, they are designed with an extra-wide elastic upper band and silicone grippers specifically to prevent slippage during intense activity. The hook and loop adjusters also contribute to a secure fit.

What is the antimicrobial sleeve for?

The antimicrobial sleeve is designed to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria, helping to keep the guards fresher for longer periods, especially after multiple uses.

Troubleshooting

Elbow guards slipping down during ride

Ensure the extra-wide elastic upper band is positioned correctly and the silicone gripper is clean. Tighten the hook and loop adjusters for a more secure fit. Verify you have selected the correct size.

Guards feel too tight or restrictive

Loosen the hook and loop adjusters. If still restrictive, consider if the size is appropriate or if the removable hardcap needs to be taken out for a less bulky feel.

Elbow guards causing skin irritation

Ensure the guards are clean and free of debris. Try wearing a thin base layer under the guards. Check the sizing to ensure it's not too tight.

Reduced protection after a crash

Inspect the D3O® insert and the guard material for any tears, punctures, or significant deformation. If damaged, the guard should be replaced as its protective integrity may be compromised.
