Fox Racing Launch D30 Knee Guard

These are specifically engineered for mountain biking. While they offer excellent impact protection, their design, materials, and bulk are optimized for trail riding rather than the specific movements and court surfaces of volleyball.

D3O is a non-Newtonian material that stays soft and flexible while you are pedaling, allowing for full range of motion. Upon impact, the molecules lock together instantly to absorb and dissipate energy, hardening to provide a protective shield before returning to its flexible state.

The combination of a pre-curved ergonomic shape and the hook-and-loop adjuster is designed to keep them securely in place. However, fit is personal, so ensure you measure your thigh and calf according to the size chart to get the most secure slip-on fit.

Yes, they are constructed with perforated neoprene, which significantly improves airflow compared to standard solid foam pads. While they will still be warmer than wearing nothing, they are designed to manage heat effectively during active riding.

Absolutely. Because they utilize soft armor rather than a bulky hard shell, they have a low profile that fits comfortably under most mountain bike pants or riding gear without restricting your movement.

You should hand wash them using mild soap and cool water, then air dry them away from direct sunlight. Avoid putting them in the washing machine or dryer, as high heat can damage the D3O material and the elastic components.
