FAQs

What type of riding are these knee guards best suited for?

These knee guards are ideally suited for trail, enduro, and all-mountain riding. They offer a great balance of lightweight comfort and essential protection for these disciplines.

Are these knee guards sold as a pair?

Yes, the 100 Percent Ridecamp Knee Guards are sold as a pair, providing protection for both knees.

How do I determine the correct size for these knee guards?

Info needed: [Refer to the manufacturer's specific sizing chart. Typically, you'll measure the circumference of your thigh (e.g., 4 inches above the kneecap) and calf (e.g., 4 inches below the kneecap) and compare these measurements to the chart.] A snug fit is crucial for protection and to prevent slipping.

Can I wear these knee guards for long rides?

Absolutely. The slim profile, lightweight design, and breathable construction make them very comfortable for all-day wear and long rides, minimizing fatigue and overheating.

What level of protection do these knee guards offer?

They offer essential, reliable protection against scrapes, abrasions, and minor impacts thanks to their shock-absorbing foam. They are designed for general trail riding impacts rather than extreme downhill or high-speed crashes requiring heavier duty armor.

How do I clean my 100 Percent Ridecamp Knee Guards?

It is recommended to hand wash your knee guards in cold water with a mild detergent. Air dry them completely away from direct sunlight. Do not bleach, iron, tumble dry, or dry clean, as this can damage the materials and protective properties.

Troubleshooting

Knee guards slip down during riding

Ensure you have the correct size; an overly large guard will slip. Make sure the elastic cuffs are clean and have not lost their elasticity. Adjust the guard to sit higher on your thigh and lower on your calf to maximize grip.

Guards feel too hot or cause excessive sweating

While designed with breathable materials, intense exertion or very warm conditions can still cause heat buildup. Ensure proper ventilation by wearing appropriate riding shorts/pants. Consider riding during cooler parts of the day. Check if the guard is too tight, restricting airflow.

Chafing or irritation occurs behind the knee

Ensure the guards are positioned correctly and not bunched up. Wear moisture-wicking base layers if preferred. Make sure the fabric is clean and free of debris. If the issue persists, review sizing; a guard that is too tight or too loose can cause irritation. Some break-in period may be needed.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and comfortable for extended wear
  • Excellent mobility due to slim profile
  • Effective protection against minor impacts and scrapes
  • Highly breathable, preventing overheating

  • Suitable for various mountain biking styles

Cons

  • Provides essential protection, not heavy-duty impact absorption
  • Slip-on design may require removal of shoes for donning/doffing
  • Coverage is focused on the knee area, not extending to shins

Setup, Compatibility & Care Instructions

Setup

  1. Ensure you have the correct size for a snug but comfortable fit. The guards should feel secure without restricting circulation or movement.
  2. Slide the knee guards onto your legs, with the main protective pad centered over your kneecap.
  3. Pull them up until the elastic cuffs are positioned comfortably above and below your knee. The slip-on design means you may need to remove your shoes to put them on or take them off.
  4. Adjust slightly to ensure the padding sits correctly and the fabric is smooth against your skin to prevent chafing.

Compatibility

  • Riding Style: Optimized for trail, enduro, and all-mountain riding. Their lightweight nature makes them suitable for general mountain biking.
  • User: Designed for adult riders. They are a unisex product, suitable for both male and female riders.
  • Wear: Intended to be worn directly against the skin or over thin base layers.

Care

  • Cleaning: Hand wash in cold water with mild detergent. Do not bleach. Air dry only; do not tumble dry, iron, or dry clean. Avoid excessive wringing.
  • Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use. Ensure they are fully dry before storing to prevent mildew.
  • Inspection: Regularly inspect the guards for any signs of wear, tear, or damage to the padding or stitching. Replace if the protective integrity is compromised.
