Product Information
Full details
The FOX CYCLING Enduro Knee Sleeve is designed for adult mountain bikers and trail enthusiasts who prioritize a balance between impact protection and pedaling efficiency. These sleeves excel by offering D3O-certified safety in a low-profile package, though riders seeking heavy-duty downhill armor may find the lightweight construction less comprehensive during high-speed crashes. Featuring moisture-wicking materials and removable padding, this gear provides a secure, comfortable fit for long days in the saddle.

FAQs
Can I wash the sleeves with the D3O pads inside?
No, it is highly recommended to remove the D3O inserts before washing to preserve the life of the padding and the sleeve fabric.
Are these knee sleeves suitable for DH (downhill) racing?
These are designed for Enduro and trail riding. For dedicated DH racing, you may prefer a sleeve with side impact protection or hard-shell coverage.
Will these fit under my riding pants?
Yes, their low-profile, lightweight construction makes them ideal for wearing under most riding pants or shorts.
How do I know which size to choose?
Measure the circumference of your thigh approximately four inches above your kneecap to match with the brand's size chart.
Does the D3O material wear out?
D3O is designed to handle multiple impacts, but should be inspected for signs of cracking or degradation after any significant crash.
Troubleshooting
Sleeve sliding down during a ride
Ensure the silicone grippers are in direct contact with skin and not over trousers. You may need to size down if the sleeve remains loose.
D3O pad feels stiff
The D3O material is temperature-sensitive. It will naturally soften and become more flexible as it warms up from your body heat.
Excessive sweating behind the knee
Ensure the nylon mesh panel is correctly aligned at the back of the knee to maximize airflow.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Excellent pedaling comfort due to flexible materials
- Removable D3O inserts allow for easier washing
- Breathable nylon mesh prevents heat buildup
- Stay-put design reduces the need for mid-ride adjustments
Cons
- Lower protection level compared to hard-shell armor
- Sleeves may require manual adjustment after very long rides
- Not suitable for extreme downhill racing protection
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure maximum effectiveness, slide the sleeve up the leg with the wider end positioned at the thigh and the logo facing forward. Ensure the D3O pad is centered directly over the kneecap before starting your ride.
Compatibility: These sleeves feature a low-profile design that fits comfortably under most trail shorts without creating bulk or bunching.
Care Instructions: Always remove the D3O inserts before washing the sleeves. Machine wash the sleeves on a gentle cycle with cold water and air dry to maintain the integrity of the silicone grippers and elastic fibers.
