The Fox Launch Knee/Shin Guard is designed for mountain bikers and gravity riders seeking a balance of high-impact protection and pedaling mobility. Featuring removable D3O inserts that meet EN1621-1 Level 1 CE standards, these guards provide robust coverage for both your knees and shins while remaining breathable enough for long days in the saddle. While the slip-on design offers excellent security, users should note that the extended length requires careful sizing to ensure the shin coverage does not interfere with their footwear or ankle movement.

This is a safety certification that confirms the armor has been tested to meet specific impact energy absorption standards for motorcycle and cycling protective gear.
The guard should feel snug but not restrictive. You should be able to pedal comfortably without the fabric bunching or the guard sliding down.
Ensure the silicone thigh band is in direct contact with your skin and that the hook and loop adjusters are tightened securely.
Check that the guard is positioned correctly; pull the sleeve slightly higher up the thigh so the articulated joint aligns with your actual knee hinge.
Loosen the hook and loop straps fully before sliding the sleeve on; ensure your socks are not bunched up underneath the shin guard portion.
To ensure optimal performance, slide the guard onto your leg before putting on your riding shoes. Ensure the kneecap is centered over the D3O insert for full joint coverage. Use the hook and loop adjusters to fine-tune the tension once the sleeve is in position.
Regarding care, it is vital to remove the D3O inserts before washing the sleeve. Hand-wash the sleeve in cool water with mild soap and air dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the elastic components and silicone grippers. The D3O inserts can be wiped down with a damp cloth if necessary.
