Product Information

Full details

The 661 Recon V2 Elbow Pads are designed for trail and all-mountain riders who prioritize mobility and lightweight protection. These pads leverage D3O Ghost technology to provide significant impact absorption without the bulk of traditional hard-shell gear, making them ideal for long days in the saddle where pedaling comfort is essential. While they offer excellent flexibility and breathability, the minimalist design is best suited for cross-country and trail riding rather than extreme downhill racing where heavy-duty armor is required.

Extended Product Information

FAQs

Are these pads CE certified?

Yes, the D3O Ghost inserts utilized in the Recon V2 are CE 1621-1 rated.

Can I put these in the washing machine?

Yes, the Recon V2 pads are machine washable. We recommend a gentle cycle and air drying for longevity.

What is the Padlock system?

Padlock is a 661-exclusive connection system that allows you to tether your protective pads to other 661 base layers to prevent them from moving.

Will these fit under a long-sleeve jersey?

Yes, their low-profile, minimalist construction makes them excellent for wearing underneath most riding jerseys.

Are these suitable for downhill racing?

No, these are designed for Trail and All-Mountain use. For downhill racing, we recommend heavier duty pads with additional hard-shell coverage.

How do I choose the right size?

Consult the 661 official sizing chart, measuring the circumference of your arm at the bicep and forearm to ensure a secure, comfortable fit.

Troubleshooting

Pads sliding down during the ride

Ensure the silicone grippers are in direct contact with clean, dry skin. If they continue to slide, verify you have the correct size according to the 661 sizing chart.

Fabric irritation or chafing

Ensure the pads are positioned correctly and not twisted. If irritation persists, consider wearing a light moisture-wicking base layer underneath.

Impact insert feels stiff

D3O material reacts to temperature. In very cold conditions, warm the pads up by wearing them for a few minutes to allow your body heat to restore their full flexibility.

Pros and Cons

Pros

Extremely lightweight and low-profile fit
Excellent flexibility for all-day pedaling comfort
Breathable design prevents heat buildup
Reliable impact protection from CE-rated D3O inserts

Cons

Not intended for high-speed downhill or extreme gravity riding
Minimalist construction offers less peripheral coverage than hard-shell pads
Performance may degrade if the wrong size is selected

Setup, Compatibility & Care

To ensure the best protection, verify that your elbow is centered directly over the D3O insert when the arm is slightly bent. Use the silicone grippers to secure the sleeve directly against the skin for the best hold. The Recon V2 pads are machine washable; ensure you follow the care label instructions and consider using a delicate cycle inside a mesh laundry bag. Because the inserts are integrated, you can wash the entire pad as a single unit. Store your pads in a cool, dry place and avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for extended periods to maintain the elasticity of the fabric and the integrity of the impact inserts.
