FAQs

What makes the Pro-Shape protector unique?

The Pro-Shape protector is inspired by auxetic materials found in nature. It expands in all directions upon impact, increasing the coverage area and effectively absorbing up to 83% of impact force while maintaining flexibility.

Are these knee guards suitable for downhill biking?

Yes, the adaptive flexibility of the Pro-Shape protector allows it to trace knee movements, making them suitable for various cycling disciplines including downhill riding.

How do I know if I have the right size?

The guards should fit snugly around your knee and calf without feeling too tight or cutting off circulation. The elastic bands should hold them securely in place without slipping. Refer to the product's sizing guide if available.

Can these guards be machine washed?

No, it is recommended to hand wash the knee guards with mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing, harsh detergents, and tumble drying.

What is the CE EN 1621.1 homologation?

This is a European standard for motorcycle and cycle protective clothing, specifically concerning impact absorption. CE EN 1621.1 certification indicates that the Scarabeo Pro protectors meet specific safety requirements for impact protection.

What materials are used in the construction?

The guards utilize a highly breathable, run-resistant mesh (Jersey hole) and are made from materials like Polyester (90%) and Elastane (10%). The protector itself is 100% PVC-free.

Troubleshooting

Knee guards slip down during use.

Ensure the extra-wide elastic bands with silicone grippers are properly positioned and tightened. Check that the size is appropriate for your leg circumference. Clean the silicone grippers and the skin on your leg to ensure maximum grip.

Guards feel too tight or uncomfortable.

Loosen the elastic bands. Verify you have selected the correct size; refer to the sizing chart if available. The guards should be snug but not restrictive.

Excessive heat or sweat buildup.

While designed for ventilation, on extremely hot days, this can occur. Ensure the breathable mesh areas are not obstructed. Take short breaks to allow for air circulation.
