Full details

The Fox Launch Pro Elbow Guards are designed for adult male riders seeking a balance of comfort, mobility, and robust impact protection during cycling activities. They offer customizable protection with CE-certified D3O inserts and a removable hardcap, ensuring riders can adapt their gear to different riding conditions. A potential caveat is the slip-on design, which might require careful sizing for a perfectly secure fit without constriction.

FAQs

How do I determine the right size for my elbow guards?

Measure the circumference of your forearm approximately 3 inches (7.5 cm) below the center of your elbow and your bicep approximately 3 inches (7.5 cm) above the center of your elbow. Consult the Fox Racing sizing chart for the specific measurements that correspond to each size (S, M, L, XL, etc.).

Can I wash the elbow guards in a washing machine?

It is recommended to hand wash the elbow guards with mild soap and cold water. Avoid machine washing or tumble drying, as this can damage the materials and protective inserts.

What is the purpose of the removable hardcap?

The removable hardcap allows you to customize the level of protection. With the hardcap in place, you get maximum impact and abrasion resistance. Removing it provides a lighter, more flexible guard with D3O® impact protection, suitable for less extreme conditions.

How often should I replace my elbow guards?

Elbow guards should be replaced if they show significant signs of wear, tears, or if the protective inserts have been compromised by a major impact. Visually inspect them regularly for damage.

Are these elbow guards suitable for all types of cycling?

These guards are ideal for gravity-focused disciplines like downhill, enduro, and aggressive trail riding. For less demanding activities like cross-country or road cycling, they may be more protection than necessary.

Does the antimicrobial sleeve really work?

The antimicrobial sleeve is designed to inhibit the growth of odor-causing bacteria, helping to keep the guards fresher for longer periods between washes. While it helps manage odor, regular cleaning is still essential.

Troubleshooting

Elbow guards slipping down during rides

Ensure the extra wide elastic upper band and hook-and-loop adjusters are tightened appropriately. Verify you have selected the correct size; if the guards are too large, they may not stay in place. Check that the silicone gripper is clean and free from dirt or sweat.

Guards feel too bulky or restrictive

Try removing the internal hardcap. This will reduce the overall bulk while still providing CE-certified D3O® protection. Ensure the guards are oriented correctly for your left and right arms.

Elbow guards are uncomfortable or causing chafing

Adjust the hook-and-loop straps for a snug but not overly tight fit. Ensure the guards are positioned correctly on your elbow. If irritation persists, consider wearing a thin base layer under the guards.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • High level of impact protection with D3O inserts.
  • Customizable protection via removable hardcap.
  • Durable abrasion resistance from KPU skid plate.
  • Secure and adjustable fit for comfort during activity.
  • Good ventilation for extended wear.

Cons

  • Slip-on design may require precise sizing for optimal fit.
  • May feel warmer than lighter, unpadded guards.
  • Hardcap removal/installation adds an extra step for customization.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: The Fox Launch Pro Elbow Guards are designed for a simple slip-on application. Ensure you select the correct size by measuring your elbow circumference according to the brand's sizing chart. Once on, use the hook-and-loop adjusters to fine-tune the fit for comfort and security. The internal hardcap can be removed or reinserted by carefully peeling back the D3O® insert and sliding the hardcap into its designated sleeve.

Compatibility: These guards are designed for adult riders and are compatible with most cycling jerseys and jackets. They meet EN1621-1 Level 1 CE requirements with or without the hardcap, offering versatile protection.

Care: To maintain the integrity and performance of your elbow guards, hand wash them with mild soap and cold water. Avoid using bleach or harsh detergents. Allow them to air dry completely away from direct sunlight. Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
