Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, it is recommended to hand wash the knee pads in cold water with mild detergent to preserve the materials and protective inserts.
What is the primary benefit of the D3O® inserts?

How durable is the SuperFabric® skid panel?
The SuperFabric® skid panel is engineered for maximum durability and flexibility, providing reliable protection against trail hazards and abrasion.
Do these pads offer protection for the sides of the knee?

Troubleshooting
Knee pads slipping down during use
Ensure the large elastic grippers are clean and free of dirt or sweat. Try adjusting the position for a more secure fit. If the issue persists, check if the size is appropriate.
Discomfort or chafing
Allow for a brief break-in period. Ensure the pads are not too tight and that the seams are not irritating your skin. Wear them for shorter rides initially.
Pads feel too warm
While designed for breathability, intense activity in very hot weather may cause warmth. Ensure you are well-hydrated and take breaks as needed. The lightweight construction aims to minimize this.
