100 Percent Ridecamp Knee Guards - Black

These guards offer essential, lightweight protection against scrapes, abrasions, and minor impacts. They are designed for general trail riding, singletrack, and enduro where mobility and comfort are prioritized over heavy-duty, high-impact crash protection.

For aggressive downhill riding or competitive racing where high-speed impacts are common, you might consider knee guards with more substantial hard-shell protection. The Ridecamp guards are better suited for trail and enduro riding where a balance of protection and pedaling efficiency is key.

To choose the correct size, you typically need to measure the circumference of your thigh (usually 4-6 inches above the kneecap) and your calf (4-6 inches below the kneecap). Compare these measurements to the manufacturer's size chart. A snug fit is crucial to prevent slippage.

Yes, the slim and low-profile design of the 100 Percent Ridecamp Knee Guards makes them ideal for wearing comfortably under most riding shorts and pants without feeling bulky or restrictive.

It's recommended to clean your knee guards regularly, especially after dusty or muddy rides. Frequent cleaning prevents odor buildup and maintains the integrity of the fabric and elastic cuffs. Always follow the hand washing and air drying instructions.

The primary materials include polyester fabric, perforated neoprene for breathability, and mesh panels, all contributing to the guard's lightweight, flexible, and breathable properties.

Ensure you have the correct size; an ill-fitting guard will slip. Make sure the elastic cuffs are clean and free of debris, as this can reduce their grip. For some, applying a small amount of non-irritating athletic tape or grip spray to the skin under the top cuff can help.

Check if the guards are pulled up too high or not positioned correctly. The fabric behind the knee should be smooth. If discomfort persists, the size might be too small, or the guard may require a short break-in period. Ensure your riding shorts aren't bunching up underneath.

While designed for breathability, intense activity can still cause heat buildup. Ensure proper airflow by not wearing overly restrictive pants over them. Take breaks if needed. Verify that the perforated areas are not blocked or dirty.

Small tears can sometimes be repaired with a fabric patch or specialized adhesive. However, if the tear compromises the integrity of the padding or the main structure, it's safer to consider replacement to ensure continued protection.
