Product Information
Full details
The SixSixOne DBO Elbow Pads are designed for downhill and all-mountain riders who prioritize robust safety without sacrificing mobility. Built around the advanced D3O T5 impact insert, these pads provide reliable CE-certified protection that remains flexible during normal riding but hardens instantly upon impact. While they offer excellent value and a secure fit, riders should note that the single-strap closure system may require occasional adjustment during high-intensity sessions.

FAQs
Are these pads machine washable?
It is recommended to hand wash the pads in cool water with mild detergent to preserve the longevity of the fabrics and the integrity of the D3O insert.
What does EN 1621:1 Level 1 mean?
This is a European safety standard for motorcycle and mountain bike limb protection, verifying the gear can effectively absorb impact energy.
Can I wear these under a long-sleeve jersey?
Yes, the slim profile of the D3O T5 insert allows them to fit comfortably underneath most standard mountain bike jerseys.
Do I need a 661 jacket to use these?
No, while the Padlock system adds extra security, the pads are fully functional as standalone equipment.
How do I know my size?
Measure the circumference of your upper arm (about 10cm above your elbow) and compare it against the brand's provided size chart for the most accurate fit.
Troubleshooting
Pad sliding down during riding
Ensure the neoprene sleeve is placed directly against skin rather than over clothing. Tighten the hook-and-loop strap and verify the pad is the correct size.
D3O insert feels stiff
The D3O material reacts to temperature. If the pads were stored in a cold environment, wear them for a few minutes to allow your body heat to return the insert to its flexible, optimal state.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- Flexible D3O material does not restrict arm movement
- Certified EN 1621:1 Level 1 impact protection
- Compatible with SixSixOne Padlock ecosystem
- Durable construction suitable for downhill and enduro
- High value-to-performance ratio
Cons
- Single-strap design may be less adjustable than dual-strap alternatives
- May feel warm during long rides in high temperatures
- Sizing must be precise to ensure the neoprene sleeve does not slide
Setup, Compatibility & Care
To achieve the best fit, slide the neoprene sleeve over your arm before securing the top hook-and-loop strap. The pad should sit centered over the bony prominence of your elbow.
Compatibility: The DBO pads are natively compatible with SixSixOne protective jackets featuring the 'Padlock' connection system.
Care Instructions:
- Remove the D3O insert if possible before washing (if the construction allows) or hand wash the pads in lukewarm water with mild soap.
- Air dry away from direct sunlight or high heat sources, which can degrade the elastic properties of the neoprene.
- Avoid using harsh detergents or bleaching agents.
