FAQs

What level of protection do these knee pads offer?

The Fox Launch Pro Knee Pads feature a CE-certified D3O® insert that meets EN1621-1 Level 1 CE requirements for impact protection. They also include a removable internal hardcap for customizable protection.

How do I determine the correct size?

Refer to the sizing chart provided by Fox Head Clothing. Measure the circumference of your thigh and calf at the specified points and compare to the chart. A proper fit is crucial for both comfort and protection.

Can I use these for activities other than mountain biking?

While engineered for mountain biking, the protection and comfort features may be suitable for other activities requiring knee protection, such as BMX or downhill skateboarding, provided the impact types are similar.

How do I clean the knee pads?

Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle with velcro closures fastened. Line dry only. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean.

Are the D3O® inserts removable?

Yes, the internal hardcap, which works in conjunction with the D3O® insert, is removable, allowing for adjustable levels of protection.

Will these pads fit under my riding pants?

The slim profile and slip-on design are intended to be compatible with most riding pants. However, fit can vary depending on the cut and material of your pants.

What is the purpose of the KPU skid plate?

The Engineered KPU skid plate on the Cordura® front panel provides increased abrasion resistance, protecting the pads and your knees from scrapes and impacts with trail debris.

Troubleshooting

Pads slipping down during ride

Ensure the extra-wide elastic upper band and hook and loop adjuster are tightened sufficiently. Check that the silicone gripper is clean and making good contact with your leg. Re-measure and confirm you have the correct size.

Discomfort or chafing

Verify the size is correct and that the pads are positioned properly. The floating sleeve construction should allow for natural movement; ensure it's not bunched up. Break in the pads on shorter rides if new.

Excessive heat buildup

While designed for ventilation, prolonged intense activity can still generate heat. Ensure the ARIAPRENE® and micro-span construction is clean and free of debris. Consider taking breaks during long, strenuous rides.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High level of CE-certified impact protection.
  • Adjustable protection with removable hardcap.
  • Durable abrasion resistance from KPU skid plate.
  • Enhanced comfort and ventilation features.
  • Secure and reliable fit system.

Cons

  • Slip-on design might not suit all preferences for adjustability.
  • Can be warmer than lighter-weight pads due to extensive padding.
  • Requires careful measurement for optimal fit and performance.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: These knee pads feature a slip-on construction with an additional hook and loop adjuster strap at the top for a secure fit. Ensure the pads are positioned correctly on your knees, covering the kneecap and extending down the shin slightly. Adjust the hook and loop strap for a snug but comfortable fit, ensuring they do not restrict circulation.

Compatibility: The Fox Launch Pro Knee Pads are designed for adult riders. They are compatible with most cycling shorts and pants. The CE certification (EN1621-1 Level 1) ensures they meet industry standards for impact protection.

Care Instructions:

  1. Machine wash cold on a gentle cycle.
  2. Important: Close all velcro closures before washing to prevent snagging.
  3. Line dry only. Do not tumble dry.
  4. Do not bleach, iron, or dry clean.
