FAQs

Are these knee guards suitable for downhill racing?

The 100 Percent Ridecamp Knee Guards are designed for trail, enduro, and all-mountain riding, providing lightweight protection against scrapes and minor impacts. For aggressive downhill racing or extreme park riding, we recommend seeking out more robust, hard-shell specific downhill knee protection for enhanced impact absorption.

How do I choose the correct size?

Info needed: Always refer to the manufacturer's sizing chart, usually found on the product page or packaging. Typically, you'll measure the circumference of your thigh (e.g., 10cm/4 inches above the knee) and calf (e.g., 10cm/4 inches below the knee) and compare these measurements to the chart. A snug fit that doesn't restrict movement is key.

Can I wear these knee guards over my riding pants?

These knee guards are designed with a slim profile to be worn *under* your riding shorts or pants for optimal fit and protection. Wearing them over clothing might affect their secure fit and could lead to slippage or discomfort.

How do I clean my Ridecamp Knee Guards?

Hand wash in cold water with mild detergent. Do not bleach or iron. Lay flat or hang to air dry completely. Avoid tumble drying or placing them in direct sunlight, as high heat can damage the materials and padding.

What kind of protection do these knee guards offer?

The Ridecamp Knee Guards feature impact-resistant foam padding designed to absorb shocks from scrapes, minor falls, and accidental contact with trail obstacles. They provide essential protection for everyday trail riding, focusing on comfort and mobility.

Are these knee guards breathable enough for summer riding?

Yes, their construction includes perforated neoprene and mesh panels specifically designed to maximize airflow and reduce heat buildup, making them a comfortable option for riding in warmer conditions.

Troubleshooting

Knee guards are slipping down during rides.

Ensure you have the correct size. The elastic cuffs should fit snugly but comfortably. Make sure the guards are fully pulled up your leg and positioned correctly before starting your ride. Dirty or oily skin can sometimes reduce grip; ensure your skin is clean.

Experiencing discomfort or pinching behind the knee.

Check if the guards are positioned too high or too low. Adjust them slightly. The breathable mesh panel behind the knee should align with the natural crease of your joint. If discomfort persists, verify you have the correct size, as guards that are too small can cause pinching.

Knee guards feel too hot or cause excessive sweating.

The Ridecamp guards are designed with breathable materials. Ensure they are clean, as dirt and sweat buildup can reduce breathability. For extremely hot conditions, consider pairing them with moisture-wicking base layers, though their primary function is airflow. If heat is still an issue, you may be in an environment hotter than the product's optimal operating temperature.

Padding feels less protective over time.

Impact-resistant foam can degrade over extended use or after significant impacts. Inspect the foam for signs of compression or damage. If the padding feels permanently compressed or torn, it may be time to replace your knee guards to ensure optimal protection.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • Lightweight and comfortable for all-day wear
  • Excellent breathability reduces heat buildup
  • Secure slip-on fit prevents slippage during activity
  • Provides essential protection against scrapes and minor impacts
  • Versatile for various mountain biking styles (trail, enduro, all-mountain)

Cons

  • Not designed for extreme downhill or high-impact protection
  • Limited hard-shell protection compared to heavier-duty guards
  • Info needed: Specific sizing guidelines may vary by user
  • Slip-on design means they can be harder to put on/take off than open-back designs
  • Red color might not match all riding gear aesthetics

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup

  1. Identify Orientation: Ensure the larger padded section is positioned over your kneecap.
  2. Slip On: Slide the knee guard up your leg, similar to putting on a sock, until the elastic cuffs are snug above and below your knee.
  3. Position: Center the main impact padding directly over your kneecap. The guard should feel secure but not overly constrictive.
  4. Check Fit: Bend your knee through its full range of motion. The guard should move with your leg without pinching or sliding down.

Compatibility

These knee guards are Unisex and designed for Adult riders. They are compatible with:

  • Riding Styles: Trail, Enduro, All-Mountain cycling.
  • Clothing: Designed to be worn under riding shorts or pants, their slim profile ensures minimal bulk.
  • Gear: Pair well with lightweight elbow guards and hydration packs for a complete trail setup.

Care Instructions

Proper care extends the life and performance of your knee guards:

  1. Hand Wash Recommended: Use cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
  2. Gentle Cleaning: Gently scrub soiled areas. Do not wring or twist the guards, as this can damage the padding and fabric.
  3. Rinse Thoroughly: Ensure all soap residue is removed.
  4. Air Dry Only: Lay flat or hang in a shaded, well-ventilated area. Do not tumble dry, as high heat can degrade materials and padding.
  5. Storage: Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight when not in use.
