Product Information

Full details

The Fox Baseframe Pro Sleeveless Chest Guard is designed for adult cyclists, particularly those engaged in intense trail riding or enduro stages, seeking CE-certified D3O back protection without compromising freedom of movement. Its key benefit lies in offering a low-profile, breathable solution for impact protection and moisture management. A caveat is that while it significantly enhances safety, no protective gear can entirely eliminate the risk of injury.

FAQs

What level of protection does the D3O back insert offer?

The D3O back insert provides EN1621-1 Level 1 protection, which is certified for impact absorption in both high and low-temperature conditions.

Can I wear this guard without a jersey?

Yes, it is designed to be worn as a baselayer under a jersey for discreet protection, but it can also be worn on its own if preferred.

How do I clean the chest guard?

Remove the D3O back insert, then machine wash the garment cold on a gentle cycle with a mild detergent. Line dry only.

Does this guard protect my chest?

This model primarily focuses on providing CE-certified D3O back protection and includes hip padding. It does not offer direct chest impact protection.

Is the D3O insert removable?

Yes, the D3O back insert is removable, making the garment easier to wash and maintain.

What materials is the guard made from?

The materials consist of 35% PU, 37% nylon, 8% polyester, and 20% EVA.

Will the protector slip during intense riding?

The close-fitting design and flexible D3O plate are engineered to ensure the protector stays in place comfortably under a jersey without slipping.

Troubleshooting

Guard feels too tight or restrictive

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The D3O insert softens with body heat, which may initially feel stiff but should conform over time. Try wearing it for a short period to allow it to adapt to your body.

Excessive heat buildup during rides

While designed for breathability, extreme conditions may still lead to heat. Ensure the mesh is not obstructed by other clothing layers. Clean the garment regularly to maintain optimal wicking performance.

D3O insert not softening

The D3O polymer activates with body heat. Ensure the garment has been worn against the skin for a sufficient period to allow heat transfer. If the issue persists, check if the insert is correctly oriented.
