Fox Launch Knee Pads - Black

Measure the circumference of your knee and the area above and below it as per the Fox Head Clothing sizing guide. Compare these measurements to the size chart provided for the Launch Knee Pads.

Yes, the Fox Launch Knee Pads offer a good balance of protection and mobility suitable for many downhill and enduro riding applications. For extreme downhill, some riders may opt for more extensive, hard-shell protection.

Yes, the slip-on design and relatively low profile allow them to be worn comfortably under most baggy mountain bike shorts or pants.

Knee pads should be inspected regularly for damage to the protective materials or stitching. Replace them if they show signs of significant wear, tears, or if the protective padding has compressed or degraded, especially after a hard impact.

The Fox Launch Knee Pads feature durable EVA foam padding with an abrasion-resistant front panel. They do not have a hard plastic outer shell, prioritizing flexibility and comfort.

ARIAPRENE® is a specialized material used in the knee pads' construction for its breathability and impact-dampening properties, contributing to overall comfort and protection.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. If they continue to slip, check for any obstructions on the leg (e.g., loose clothing) and ensure the inner silicone grippers are clean. Consider trying a size down if the circumference is borderline.

Verify the pre-curved fit is aligned with your knee's natural position. Ensure the pads are not twisted. Try adjusting their position slightly. Some break-in period may be required for optimal comfort.

While designed for ventilation, intense, slow climbs can increase heat. Ensure the mesh panels are not obstructed. Take short breaks to allow airflow if necessary. For extreme heat, consider lighter-weight protection if available for your riding style.

The pads are designed to absorb and dissipate impact energy. While the front panel is abrasion-resistant, severe impacts or prolonged sliding can still cause wear and tear. Inspect pads regularly for damage.
