Product Information

Full details

The Fox Enduro Elbow Guard is designed for adult cyclists engaged in aggressive trail riding who need reliable impact protection without compromising mobility. Its key benefit is the combination of D3O® impact absorption with a lightweight, breathable construction for comfort on long rides. A potential caveat is the need for regular washing to maintain hygiene, though the removable inserts simplify this process. Key features include D3O® impact inserts, moisture-wicking fabric, an abrasion-resistant panel, and a high-stretch rear panel.

FAQs

What is D3O® and how does it work?

D3O® is a smart material that is flexible and soft in its natural state but locks together upon impact to absorb and dissipate energy. This provides crucial protection without restricting movement during normal activity.

Are these elbow guards suitable for downhill mountain biking?

Yes, the Fox Enduro Elbow Guard is designed for aggressive trail riding and enduro, offering certified impact protection. For extreme downhill, you might consider guards with a higher protection level (e.g., Level 2).

Can I machine wash the elbow guards?

It is recommended to hand wash the fabric sleeves with mild soap and cold water. Machine washing is not advised as it can damage the fabric and the D3O® inserts. Always remove the inserts before washing.

How often should I wash my elbow guards?

Wash your elbow guards after every few uses, especially if you sweat heavily or ride in dusty conditions. Regular washing helps maintain hygiene and prevent odor buildup.

What does EN1621-1 Level 1 certification mean?

EN1621-1 is a European standard for motorcycle and cycling limb protectors. Level 1 indicates that the protector meets specific impact absorption requirements for standard protection.

Will these guards fit under a long-sleeve jersey?

The slim profile and high-stretch design generally allow these guards to be worn comfortably under a loose-fitting long-sleeve jersey. For tighter jerseys, they may be worn over the base layer.

Troubleshooting

Elbow guards feel too tight or restrictive.

Ensure you have selected the correct size. Refer to the sizing chart. If the fit is still uncomfortable, consider if the guard is appropriate for your activity; for less intense riding, a lighter model might be more suitable.

Guards slip down during riding.

Verify the size is correct and the guards are pulled up fully. Ensure the fabric is clean and dry before wearing. The high-stretch rear panel should provide a secure fit, but incorrect sizing is the most common cause of slippage.

Fabric smells after use.

Follow the care instructions for washing the guards. Utilize the anti-microbial treatment by washing regularly. Ensure the guards are thoroughly dried after washing to prevent odor buildup.

D3O® inserts are difficult to remove or reinsert.

Gently flex the D3O® insert and work it out of the sleeve. When reinserting, ensure the insert is aligned correctly within its pocket. Avoid forcing the insert, which could damage it.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These are slip-on guards and require no complex setup. Ensure you select the correct size for a snug, secure fit. The D3O® inserts should be properly seated within their designated pockets.

Compatibility: The Fox Enduro Elbow Guard is designed for adult cyclists. It is compatible with most cycling apparel and protective gear. The EN1621-1 Level 1 certification indicates it meets standard protection requirements.

Care:

  1. Remove Inserts: Carefully slide out the D3O® inserts from the fabric sleeves.
