Fox Launch Pro Knee Pads - Black

The Fox Launch Pro Knee Pads are primarily engineered for aggressive mountain biking disciplines like downhill, enduro, and trail riding where impact protection is crucial. They can be used for other cycling activities, but their robust design is optimized for high-impact scenarios.

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Fox Head Clothing. Generally, measure the circumference of your thigh and calf at the specified points and compare with the chart. A proper fit should be snug but not constrictive, with the upper band comfortably secured above the knee.

No, the D3O core and any removable hard shell should be removed before washing the sleeve protectors. The sleeve protectors should be hand-washed with mild soap and cold water and air-dried.

The removable hardcap allows you to customize the level of protection. For less demanding trails or when prioritizing maximum flexibility, you can remove it. For high-risk situations like jumps or aggressive downhill, keeping it in provides an extra layer of defense.

The engineered KPU skid plate is designed for increased abrasion resistance, offering significant protection against impacts and slides on rough terrain. It is paired with a robust Cordura® front panel for enhanced durability.

Yes, the extra-wide elastic upper band with a silicone gripper is specifically designed to provide a secure and reliable fit that prevents the pads from slipping down, even during intense downhill riding.

Yes, the Fox Launch Pro Knee Pads feature a CE-certified D3O core, which is a leading technology for impact absorption in protective gear.

Ensure the extra-wide elastic upper band is securely fastened and the silicone gripper is making good contact with your leg. Check that you have selected the correct size; if too large, they may slip. Clean the silicone gripper area on both the pad and your leg as sweat or dirt can reduce grip.

Verify you have chosen the correct size. Try adjusting the position slightly. Ensure the floating sleeve construction is aligned correctly with your leg's natural movement. For very sensitive skin, consider wearing thin liner socks underneath.

Confirm that the CE-certified D3O core and any removable hard shell are correctly inserted and seated within the sleeve. Ensure the hardcap is not removed if you require maximum protection.

While designed with breathability in mind, intense, prolonged climbing in extreme heat can lead to warmth. Ensure the micro-mesh panels are clear of debris. For lighter use, consider removing the internal hardcap if appropriate for the trail conditions.
