FAQs

What age group are these knee guards designed for?

These knee guards are specifically designed for kids ('kids' age group).

How does the Pro-Shape protector work?

The Pro-Shape protector is inspired by natural auxetic structures. Upon impact, it expands in all directions simultaneously, increasing the coverage area and absorbing up to 83% of the impact force.

Are these knee guards suitable for hot weather?

Yes, they feature 55% open surface area on the protectors for excellent ventilation and heat exchange, along with highly breathable elastic fabric, making them suitable for hot days.

What is the material composition?

The guards use Jersey hole highly breathable, run-resistant mesh, 100% PVC (in specific components), and a blend of 90% PES (Polyester) and 10% EA (Elastane) for the elastic fabric.

How should I clean the knee guards?

Hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Do not bleach, tumble dry, or iron. Allow to air dry completely.

Do these knee guards have a safety certification?

Yes, they are CE EN 1621.1 homologated, meeting European safety standards for protective gear.

Can these be worn under regular trousers?

They are designed to be worn for sports activities and are generally compatible with looser-fitting cycling shorts or trousers. Fit may vary depending on the style of outerwear.

Troubleshooting

Knee guards slipping down during use.

Ensure the extra-wide elastic bands are tightened sufficiently. Check that the silicone grippers are clean and making good contact with the skin. If slippage persists, ensure you have selected the correct size.

Discomfort or chafing.

Verify the size is correct and not too tight. Ensure the protective padding is centered over the knee. For initial rides, wear them for shorter periods to allow your skin to adapt.

Reduced flexibility.

Confirm the knee guards are not overly tightened. The Pro-Shape protector is designed for flexibility; ensure it is not being restricted by other clothing or equipment.
