FAQs

What protection level do these pads offer?

The DBO Elbow Pads offer EN 1621:1 Level 1 protection.

Can I use these pads with other brands' jackets?

While the Padlock system is specific to SixSixOne jackets, the pads can be worn standalone with any jersey or protective top.

How do I wash the pads?

Hand wash with mild soap and cool water, then air dry away from direct sunlight or heat sources.

Is the D3O insert removable?

The D3O inserts are integrated into the design to ensure they stay in the correct position during an impact.

Are these pads suitable for cross-country riding?

They are designed for All-Mountain and Downhill; they are highly flexible, but may feel bulkier than dedicated lightweight XC guards.

Are they sold as a pair?

Yes, the SixSixOne DBO Elbow Pads are sold as a pair.

Troubleshooting

Pad sliding down during use

Ensure the neoprene sleeve is pulled up high enough on the forearm and that the top hook-and-loop strap is tightened firmly.

D3O insert feels stiff

The D3O material reacts to temperature; warm it up by wearing the pads for a few minutes before riding for maximum flexibility.

Padlock connectors don't align

Check that you are using a compatible SixSixOne protective jacket and ensure the pads are positioned correctly on your arms before connecting.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Excellent impact protection thanks to D3O technology
High level of flexibility and articulation during movement
Compatible with SixSixOne Padlock protective gear
Durable construction suitable for Downhill and All-Mountain riding
Secure fit provided by the neoprene sleeve and hook-and-loop strap

Cons

Single strap design may be less adjustable than dual-strap models
Neoprene sleeve can become warm on very hot days
Sizing needs to be checked carefully for individual fit

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To set up your DBO pads, slide the neoprene sleeve onto your arm, ensuring the elbow joint is centered over the D3O insert. Adjust the top hook-and-loop strap until snug but comfortable, ensuring circulation is not restricted. If you own a SixSixOne protective jacket, align the Padlock connection tabs to snap the pads into the garment. For care, it is recommended to hand wash the pads in cool water using mild soap and allow them to air dry. Do not use bleach or tumble dry, as high heat can degrade the D3O material and neoprene elasticity.
