Full details
The Dainese Scarabeo Pro Knee Guards are specifically designed for young riders who need reliable impact protection without compromising comfort during long days on the bike. Utilizing innovative Pro-Shape auxetic technology, these guards expand upon impact to maximize coverage while maintaining high flexibility for pedaling. While they offer superior ventilation and mobility, parents should note they are optimized for kids' sizing, making them unsuitable for adult riders.

FAQs
Are these knee guards suitable for all-day riding?

How do I wash my Scarabeo Pro knee guards?

Troubleshooting
Knee guard keeps sliding down while riding
Ensure the silicone grippers are clean and in direct contact with skin; if the guard is too loose, try a smaller size for a more secure fit.
Skin irritation or chafing
Wash the guards to remove sweat and salt buildup, or consider wearing a thin, breathable compression sleeve underneath the guard.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To ensure a secure fit, pull the guard up until the center of the Pro-Shape protector aligns directly over the kneecap. Adjust the elastic bands so they are snug against the thigh and calf without restricting circulation. The silicone grippers work best against bare skin or thin moisture-wicking base layers. For care, hand wash the guards in cold water using a mild detergent to preserve the elastic integrity and the silicone grippers. Avoid using bleach or fabric softeners, and always air dry them away from direct heat sources to prevent material degradation.
