FAQs
Are these knee guards suitable for downhill racing?
The 100 Percent Ridecamp Knee Guards are designed for essential protection against scrapes and minor impacts, ideal for trail, enduro, and all-mountain riding. For aggressive downhill racing or extreme bike park use where higher impact forces are expected, we recommend considering guards with more substantial hard-shell protection.
How do I choose the right size?
Info needed: [sizing guide or measurement instructions]. Generally, measure the circumference of your thigh (e.g., 6 inches above the knee) and calf (e.g., 4 inches below the knee) and compare with the brand's sizing chart. A snug fit is crucial to prevent slipping without being restrictive.
Can I wash these in a washing machine?
No, machine washing is not recommended as it can damage the padding and materials. Please hand wash in cold water with mild soap and air dry them flat.
Do they provide protection for my shin as well?
These guards are primarily designed to protect the knee cap and surrounding area. They do not offer significant shin protection. For combined knee and shin protection, you would need a different style of guard.
Are they breathable enough for hot weather?
Yes, the Ridecamp Knee Guards feature perforated neoprene and mesh panels for enhanced airflow, making them quite breathable and suitable for use in warmer conditions compared to bulkier pads.
Can I wear these under my riding pants?
Yes, their slim, low-profile design is specifically made to be worn comfortably under most riding shorts and pants without adding excessive bulk.
Troubleshooting
Knee guards slip down during riding
Ensure you have selected the correct size; an overly large guard will slip. Make sure the elastic cuffs are positioned correctly and are not stretched out. If sizing is correct, try pulling your riding shorts or pants over the top cuff to help hold them in place.
Experiencing discomfort or chafing
Check if the guards are positioned correctly and not twisted. Ensure your skin is clean and dry before wearing. If irritation persists, consider wearing a thin base layer underneath or re-evaluating the size.
Guards retain odor after rides
Regularly hand wash your guards with mild soap and water after sweaty rides. Allow them to air dry completely in a well-ventilated area before storing to prevent bacterial growth.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
Setup: The 100 Percent Ridecamp Knee Guards feature a straightforward slip-on design. To put them on, simply slide them up your leg until the padding comfortably covers your knee. Ensure the elastic cuffs are snug but not constricting, providing a secure fit above and below the knee.
Compatibility: These knee guards are designed for adults engaging in various forms of mountain biking, including trail, enduro, and all-mountain riding. Their low-profile nature allows them to be worn comfortably under most riding shorts or pants. They are compatible with standard cycling footwear.
Care: To maintain your knee guards, it is recommended to hand wash them in cold water with mild soap. Do not bleach or iron. Lay flat to air dry away from direct sunlight or heat. Avoid machine washing or drying, as this can damage the protective padding and elastic materials. Regular cleaning helps prevent odor buildup and prolongs the lifespan of the guards.
