How should I clean the knee guards?
Hand wash with mild soap and cold water, then air dry away from direct heat or sunlight.
What is the intended user for these guards?
These guards are designed for adult male riders engaged in trail mountain biking and similar off-road cycling activities.
Troubleshooting
Knee guards slipping down during ride
Ensure the hook-and-loop straps are securely fastened and adjusted for a snug fit. Check that the guards are positioned correctly on the knee.
Discomfort or pressure points
Readjust the straps to distribute pressure more evenly. Ensure the ergonomic contour is aligned properly with your knee. Consider wearing them for shorter periods initially to break them in.
Strap fasteners not holding securely
Check the hook-and-loop fasteners for dirt or debris. Clean them gently with a brush. If they show signs of wear, consider replacement.
