FAQs

Are these elbow guards suitable for all types of cycling?

The Fox Launch Pro Elbow Guards are primarily designed for gravity-focused disciplines like downhill and enduro, but can also be used for aggressive trail riding where impact protection is a priority. Their design balances protection with mobility.

How do I know what size to get?

Refer to the Fox Racing sizing guide for elbow guards. Measure your arm circumference at the specified points and compare it to the chart to find your best fit. A proper fit is crucial for both comfort and protection.

Can I wash these guards in a washing machine?

It is recommended to hand wash the guards with cold water and mild soap. Machine washing and drying may damage the materials and impact protection components.

What does CE-certified D3O® mean?

CE-certified D3O® inserts meet European safety standards (EN1621-1 Level 1) for impact protection. D3O® is a smart material that is soft and flexible in its normal state but locks together and hardens upon impact to absorb and dissipate energy.

Can I ride without the internal hardcap?

Yes, the internal hardcap is removable, allowing you to customize the level of protection. Riding without the hardcap provides more flexibility and a lower profile, while keeping it offers maximum impact resistance.

How does the antimicrobial sleeve work?

The antimicrobial treatment on the sleeve helps to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria, keeping the guards fresher for longer between washes.

What is the benefit of the KPU skid plate?

The KPU skid plate is a highly abrasion-resistant material applied to the front panel. It protects the guard and your elbow from damage during slides and impacts with rough surfaces.

Troubleshooting

Guard slipping down during ride

Ensure the extra wide elastic upper band with silicone gripper is positioned correctly and that the hook and loop adjusters are tightened sufficiently. Re-check sizing; a too-large guard may slip.

Discomfort or chafing

Verify the correct size is being used. Ensure the hook and loop straps are not overtightened. Wash the guards to soften the material if they are new.

Reduced ventilation

Ensure the ARIAPRENE® and micro-span panels are not obstructed. Clean the guards as per care instructions to maintain breathability.
