Product Information
Full details
The John Doe Hip Protectors are designed for individuals seeking enhanced safety and comfort, particularly in motorcycle gear or activewear. Their key benefit lies in excellent shock absorption with a low-profile design that ensures comfort even in tight-fitting clothing. A potential caveat is that while they can be reused after an impact, their optimal protective capabilities may be reduced, and they require hand washing. These Level 1 protectors are crafted from visco-elastic soft foam, are lightweight, washable, and adjustable in height, offering high-end engineering for greater safety.

FAQs
Are these protectors suitable for all types of clothing?
These protectors are designed for use in garments with dedicated internal pockets for hip protectors, such as motorcycle pants or specialized protective wear. They may not fit standard clothing.
Can I wash these protectors in a washing machine?
No, the John Doe Hip Protectors should only be hand-laundered separately in lukewarm water with mild soap. Do not use a washing machine or harsh detergents.
How long do these protectors last?
The protectors are designed to be reusable after impacts. However, after a significant impact, their optimal shock absorption capabilities may be reduced. It is advisable to inspect them regularly and consider replacement if any damage is visible or performance is suspected to be compromised.
What does 'Level 1 protection' mean?
Level 1 is a standard for protective gear indicating a baseline level of impact absorption. Higher levels (e.g., Level 2) offer greater protection but may be bulkier. Level 1 is suitable for many everyday applications and less extreme conditions.
Can I adjust the size of the protector?
Yes, the protectors are adjustable in height. This allows you to customize the fit within your garment's protective pocket for optimal coverage and comfort.
How much water do the protectors absorb?
The protectors have very low water absorption, less than one percent, meaning they dry quickly after being hand-washed.
What is the main benefit of the flat design?
The flat design makes the protectors very comfortable to wear, especially in tight-fitting clothes, as it minimizes bulk and pressure points.
Troubleshooting
Protector feels too bulky.
Ensure you are using a garment with compatible internal pockets. Try adjusting the protector's position within the pocket or consider if a different size or type of protector is more suitable for your apparel.
Protector shifts during activity.
Verify the height adjustment is correct for your garment. Ensure the garment's internal pocket is snug and holds the protector securely in place. Some garments may require minor modifications for a perfect fit.
Protector does not seem to offer adequate protection after a fall.
While reusable, significant impacts can reduce optimal protective performance. Inspect the protector for any signs of damage or deformation. For critical safety, consider replacing it after a substantial impact.
Difficulty inserting protector into garment pocket.
Ensure the protector is oriented correctly and is clean. If the pocket is very tight, try gently flexing the protector. It may require breaking in slightly within the pocket.

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions
Setup:
- Identify the internal pockets designed for hip protectors in your compatible garment (e.g., motorcycle pants, protective jeans).
- If necessary, adjust the protector's height by trimming or repositioning as needed for your specific garment and body.
- Insert the protector into the designated pocket, ensuring it lies flat and covers the hip area.
Compatibility:
- These protectors are designed to fit into garments with specifically designed internal pockets for hip protection.
- John Doe recommends using them with their own apparel line, but they may fit other brands if the pocket dimensions are suitable.
- Ensure the pocket size and shape are compatible with the protector's dimensions.
Care:
- Cleaning: Remove protectors from the garment. Hand launder them separately using lukewarm water and mild soap. Rinse thoroughly.
- Drying: Allow protectors to air dry completely. Do not use artificial heat sources like dryers or direct sunlight, as this can damage the material.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
