FAQs
Are these pads suitable for downhill mountain biking?
The Transition Elbow Pads offer Level 2 protection, which is suitable for many riding styles. However, for extreme downhill or freeride, where impacts are significantly higher, you might consider pads with more extensive padding and coverage.
How do I determine the right size?
Refer to the Seven iDP sizing guide. Typically, you'll need to measure the circumference of your forearm and elbow to find the best fit.
Can I wear these under my jersey?
Yes, the slim and streamlined design is specifically intended to fit comfortably under most cycling jerseys or jackets.
How often should I wash my elbow pads?
It's recommended to wash them after each use or as needed to maintain hygiene and performance. Hand washing with mild soap and cold water is best.
What does CE EN 1621/1 certification mean?
This certification indicates that the pads have met specific European standards for impact protection, ensuring a tested level of safety for the wearer.
Do the silicone grips wear out over time?
The silicone grips are designed for durability, but like all materials, they can degrade with extensive use and improper care. Gentle washing and air drying will help prolong their effectiveness.
Troubleshooting
Pads slipping down during activity
Ensure you have selected the correct size and that the pads are pulled on fully. Clean the inside silicone strips and your arm to ensure maximum grip. Re-evaluate sizing if the issue persists.
Discomfort or chafing
Check for any internal seams or rough patches. Ensure the breathable mesh is facing inwards against the skin. If discomfort continues, consider trying a different size or a model with different padding.
Reduced breathability or moisture build-up
Ensure the breathable mesh lining is clean and free of debris. Wash the pads as per care instructions. Excessive sweat can be a factor; consider moisture-wicking base layers.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Provides certified Level 2 impact protection.
- Offers a very slim and unobtrusive profile for comfortable wear under clothing.
- Excellent grip and stability thanks to internal silicone strips and compression fit.
- Highly breathable material keeps the skin dry and comfortable during prolonged use.
- Lightweight design does not add significant bulk or weight.
Cons
- May not offer sufficient protection for extremely high-impact or professional downhill mountain biking.
- The slim fit might be less comfortable for individuals preferring bulkier padding.
- Primarily designed for elbow protection, not full arm coverage.
- The focus on slimness might compromise on the absolute highest level of shock absorption compared to bulkier pads.
Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The Transition Elbow Pads are a pull-on design. Ensure you select the correct size by measuring your forearm and elbow circumference according to the brand's sizing guide. Slide the pads on as you would a sleeve, ensuring the internal silicone grips are positioned comfortably against your skin.
Compatibility: These elbow pads are designed for a universal fit across various athletic activities, particularly cycling disciplines like trail, enduro, and all-mountain. They are engineered to be worn comfortably under most cycling apparel.
Care:
- Cleaning: Hand wash using mild soap and cold water. Avoid using harsh detergents, bleach, or fabric softeners.
- Drying: Lay flat or hang to air dry. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can damage the materials and affect the silicone grippers.
- Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight. Ensure the pads are completely dry before storing to prevent mildew.
