Fox Racing Launch Pro D3O Knee Guards

D3O is a non-Newtonian material that stays soft and flexible while you are pedaling, allowing for a full range of motion. It only hardens instantly upon impact to absorb and dissipate energy, providing protection exactly when you need it.

Yes, they are designed with an anatomical shape and perforated Ariaprene neoprene, which helps with breathability and prevents the guards from bunching up behind the knee. They are specifically engineered for all-mountain riding where comfort during long climbs is just as important as protection on descents.

Yes, the hard cap is removable. This gives you the option to run them as a softer, more flexible guard or keep the cap attached for extra durability and snag resistance against trail debris.

Because they aren't machine washable, the best approach is to hand wash them in cool water with a mild detergent. Air dry them away from direct sunlight to preserve the integrity of the D3O padding and the elastic materials.

These are a slip-on style guard, so you will need to remove your shoes to put them on or take them off. This design ensures a secure, anatomical fit that stays in place better than strap-only alternatives.
