FAQs
What is D3O protection?
D3O is a non-Newtonian material that is soft and flexible under normal conditions but locks together upon impact to absorb and dissipate energy.
Are these pads machine washable?
It is recommended to hand wash these pads in cool water and air dry them to prevent damage to the elastic fibers and the D3O insert.
Can I use these with other brands of protective gear?
While the Padlock system is specifically designed for 661 jackets, the pads themselves can be worn under any jersey or jacket comfortably.
What does EN 1621:1 Level 1 mean?
This is a European safety standard certifying that the armor provides effective impact protection for limbs while remaining within specific force transmission limits.
How do I choose the right size?
Measure the circumference of your arm at the bicep and forearm, then refer to the SixSixOne size chart to ensure a secure fit.
Troubleshooting
Pad sliding down during rides
Ensure the neoprene sleeve is worn directly against the skin and the top strap is pulled snug, or consider wearing the pad under a long-sleeve jersey for extra friction.
Strap losing grip
Clear any lint, dirt, or debris from the hook and loop material using a stiff brush or by running a clean piece of Velcro over the surface.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To set up your pads, slide the neoprene sleeve over your elbow so that the D3O insert sits directly over the joint. Tighten the top hook and loop strap until snug, but avoid over-tightening as it can restrict circulation. To clean, remove the D3O insert if possible (or follow garment-specific instructions), hand wash in cool water with mild soap, and air dry away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the neoprene and elastic components. Check the Velcro strap regularly for debris to ensure maximum adhesion.
