Full details

The Fox Enduro Elbow Guard is designed for adult cyclists seeking reliable impact protection during aggressive trail riding. Its key benefit is offering confidence through advanced D3O® impact absorption coupled with breathable, moisture-wicking materials. A minor caveat is that the Level 1 certification, while standard, might be insufficient for extremely high-impact scenarios. This guard provides essential protection, comfort, and freedom of movement.

FAQs

Are these guards suitable for downhill mountain biking?

The Fox Enduro Elbow Guard is EN1621-1 Level 1 certified, offering standard impact protection suitable for aggressive trail and enduro riding. For extreme downhill scenarios with higher impact risks, consider guards with Level 2 certification.

How do I know what size to get?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Fox Head Clothing. Generally, measure the circumference of your forearm and bicep and select the size that offers a snug fit without restricting circulation.

Can I wash the D3O® pads themselves?

No, the D3O® pads are not machine washable. Only the fabric sleeves should be washed. Remove the D3O® inserts before washing the sleeves.

Do these guards offer protection against abrasion?

Yes, they feature a Cordura® abrasion-resistant panel on the elbow area for added durability and protection against scrapes.

Will these guards restrict my movement?

No, the guards are designed with a high-stretch rear panel and flexible D3O® inserts to allow for a full range of motion, crucial for active riding.

What does EN1621-1 Level 1 certification mean?

This certification indicates that the elbow guard meets specific European standards for impact absorption. Level 1 signifies a standard level of protection. Level 2 offers higher impact absorption.

Troubleshooting

Guard slipping down during ride

Ensure you have selected the correct size. The guard should be snug. If it continues to slip, check that the rear stretch panel is not overly stretched or damaged.

Discomfort or chafing

Verify the size is correct. Ensure the D3O® inserts are properly seated and not bunching. Make sure the fabric is clean and free of debris.

Excessive heat or sweat buildup

While designed for breathability, extreme heat can still cause sweating. Ensure the guards are washed regularly to maintain fabric performance. Consider taking breaks to allow skin to air out.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
