Product Information
Full details
The Leatt 3DF 5.0 Knee Guard EVO FastFit is designed for adult male riders seeking advanced knee protection without compromising on comfort or ventilation. Its key benefit is the combination of CE-certified impact protection with a lightweight, durable construction and an easy FastFit closure system. A potential caveat is that it's specifically designed for male riders, though a unisex version is available.

FAQs
How do I know if I've chosen the right size?
Consult the Leatt sizing chart available on their website or product listings. Measure the circumference of your thigh and calf at the specified points and compare with the chart. A proper fit should be snug but not restrict movement or circulation.
Can I wear these with knee braces?
These knee guards are designed for direct impact protection and are not intended to be worn over separate knee braces. They offer a slim profile that can often be worn under riding pants.
How durable is the Deflextion shell material?
The Deflextion ultra-durable shell material is designed for toughness and resistance to abrasion and impact, contributing to the overall longevity of the knee guard.
Are these suitable for all types of riding?
Yes, they are versatile and suitable for motocross, enduro, downhill mountain biking, and trail riding, offering a good balance of protection, comfort, and ventilation for various disciplines.
What does 'CE tested and certified as impact protection: Knee EN1621-1 Level 1' mean?
This certification means the knee guards have met specific European standards for impact absorption, with Level 1 indicating a baseline level of protection against impacts to the knee.
How do I clean the MoistureCool and AirMesh fabrics?
These fabrics are designed for moisture-wicking and can be cleaned by hand washing with mild soap and cold water, then air drying. Avoid machine washing or drying, which can damage the material properties.
What is the weight of the knee guards?
The pair weighs approximately 408g (0.9 lbs).
Troubleshooting
Knee guards feel too loose or slip down.
Adjust the FastFit hook-and-loop straps for a tighter fit. Ensure the silicone printed non-slip leg straps are also positioned correctly to help maintain position.
Knee guards feel too tight or restrict circulation.
Loosen the FastFit hook-and-loop straps. If the issue persists, consider if you have selected the correct size based on Leatt's sizing chart.
Reduced ventilation or feeling too hot.
Ensure all ventilation holes on the guard and sleeve are clear of dirt or debris. Confirm that the perforated Neoprene sleeve is not bunched up, which can impede airflow.
Hook-and-loop straps are losing their grip.
Clean the hook-and-loop surfaces on both the strap and the guard area with a brush to remove lint and dirt. If the straps are significantly worn, they may need replacement.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup:
The Leatt 3DF 5.0 Knee Guard EVO FastFit is designed for immediate use. Simply slide the perforated Neoprene sleeve onto your leg. Adjust the FastFit hook-and-loop straps to achieve a snug yet comfortable fit. Ensure the straps are secure but not overly tight to restrict circulation. The pre-curved design should naturally align with your knee.
Compatibility:
- Footwear: The FastFit closure is designed to allow the guards to be put on or taken off without removing shoes or boots.
- Under/Over Gear: These guards are designed to be worn either under or over riding pants depending on rider preference and pant design. The slim profile facilitates wearing them under most riding pants.
- Sizing: Available in multiple sizes (e.g., S/M, L/XL, 2XL) to accommodate different leg circumferences. Refer to Leatt's sizing chart for the best fit.
Care:
- Cleaning: Hand wash the knee guards using mild soap and cold water. Rinse thoroughly and allow to air dry completely away from direct sunlight or heat sources. Do not use harsh detergents or bleach.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place. Avoid folding or creasing the protective shell excessively.
- Maintenance: Regularly check the hook-and-loop straps for effectiveness and inspect the shell and fabric for any signs of significant wear or damage.
