FAQs
Are these pads machine washable?
Hand washing is highly recommended to extend the life of the materials and maintain the integrity of the protective internal rubber.
Do these provide enough protection for downhill racing?
Yes, they meet CE 1621:1 certification, making them suitable for most gravity-fed mountain biking disciplines.
Can I wear these under a jersey?
Yes, the low-profile design of the Comp AM series allows them to be worn comfortably under most riding jerseys.
What is the primary material used for protection?
The pads use an internal flex tech rubber which provides flexible impact absorption.
How do I know what size to get?
Measure the circumference of your arm at the bicep and forearm and refer to the 661 manufacturer size chart for the best fit.
Troubleshooting
Pad slips down during rides
Clean the silicone grippers with water to remove dust and skin oils, then tighten the hook and loop straps slightly.
Skin irritation from pads
Ensure the skin is clean and dry before putting on the pads, or consider wearing a thin moisture-wicking base layer underneath.
Pros and Cons

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure optimal performance, slide the pads on so the elbow joint is centered within the protective cup. Tighten the hook and loop straps until snug, but avoid over-tightening as this can restrict blood flow. These pads are compatible with most long-sleeve jerseys and can be worn either over or under garments depending on preference. For care, hand wash with mild soap and cold water after rides to preserve the elasticity of the lycra and mesh components. Always air dry away from direct sunlight to prevent degradation of the internal rubber and silicone grip strips.
