FAQs
What is the main benefit of the Seven iDP Transition Elbow Guard?
The main benefit is the combination of CE Level 2 certified protection with a slim, lightweight, and non-slip fit that remains comfortable during long rides and fits easily under clothing.
How do I determine the correct size?
Measure the circumference of your lower bicep. Small: 20-25cm, Medium: 25-30cm, Large: 30-35cm, X-Large: 35-40cm. Choose the size that offers a snug compression fit.
Are these elbow guards suitable for all cycling disciplines?
They are primarily designed for trail and enduro mountain biking where a balance of protection and mobility is key. They may also be suitable for BMX or downhill, but for extreme impacts, heavier-duty options might be considered.
Can I wash these elbow guards in a washing machine?
It is recommended to hand wash the elbow guards in cool water with mild soap. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the materials and protective padding.
How long will the protection last?
With proper care, the CE Level 2 protection and durable materials are designed for extended use. Regular cleaning and inspection for wear and tear will help maintain their effectiveness.
Do these guards have hard shells?
No, these guards use impact-hardening foam for protection and are designed with a soft, flexible construction for comfort and a streamlined fit. They do not feature hard external shells.
What makes the fit 'non-slip'?
The guards utilize internal silicone strips combined with a compression fit. This combination anchors the pad securely to your arm, preventing it from shifting or sliding down during activity.
Troubleshooting
Elbow guards slipping down during riding
Ensure you have selected the correct size based on the lower bicep measurement. Re-check the fit; they should be snug. Make sure the internal silicone strips and your skin are clean and dry before putting them on.
Discomfort or irritation from compression fit
Verify that you have chosen the correct size. If the irritation persists, try wearing a thin base layer underneath. Ensure the guards are not overly tight.
Excessive moisture buildup inside the guards
While designed for breathability, intense activity can still lead to sweat. Ensure the guards are thoroughly cleaned and dried after each use. Consider taking short breaks to allow ventilation.
Padding feels too stiff or not conforming
The heat moulding foam is designed to conform with body heat and wear. Wear the pads for an extended period during a ride; they should become more flexible and personalized over time.
