FAQs
What level of protection do these elbow guards offer?
The Seven iDP Transition Elbow Guards offer CE Level 2 protection, which is a high standard for impact protection in sports gear.
Can I wear these elbow guards under my jersey?
Yes, they are specifically designed with a slim and streamlined fit to be worn comfortably under cycling jerseys or other apparel without adding significant bulk.
How do I determine my correct size?
You should measure the circumference of your lower bicep. Refer to the provided size guide: Small (20-25cm), Medium (25-30cm), Large (30-35cm), X-Large (35-40cm).
Are these suitable for all types of cycling?
They are well-suited for trail riding, enduro, and general mountain biking where a balance of protection and mobility is needed. For disciplines requiring maximum protection, heavier-duty guards might be considered.
How should I clean my elbow guards?
Hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Rinse thoroughly and air dry completely. Avoid bleach, harsh chemicals, ironing, or tumble drying.
Do they stay in place during aggressive riding?
Yes, they feature an internal compression fit combined with silicone strips designed to provide a consistent, non-slip fit that stays in place even during demanding activity.
What material are the main protective components made from?
The pads utilize heat moulding foam, shared with the successful Transition Knee pads, combined with abrasion-resistant material on the exterior.
Troubleshooting
Elbow pads slipping down during use
Ensure you have selected the correct size by checking your lower bicep circumference against the size guide. Clean the internal silicone strips with a damp cloth to ensure maximum grip. Verify the compression fit is snug.
Discomfort or irritation from the pads
Double-check the sizing; a pad that is too tight can cause discomfort. Ensure the breathable mesh is facing inwards against the skin. If irritation persists, try wearing a thin base layer underneath.
Reduced breathability or moisture buildup
Ensure the breathable mesh is not obstructed. Wash the pads according to care instructions to remove any buildup that may hinder airflow. Allow pads to fully air dry after each use.
Material showing signs of wear
While designed to be abrasion-resistant, prolonged or extreme abrasion can damage the material. Use as intended and follow care instructions to prolong the life of the product. Inspect regularly for damage.
