FOX Clothing Launch D30 Elbow Guards

D3O is a non-Newtonian material, meaning it stays soft and flexible while you are pedaling so it doesn't restrict your movement. Upon impact, the molecules lock together instantly to absorb and dissipate energy, hardening to protect your elbow before returning to its flexible state.

Yes, the low-profile construction is specifically designed to be worn under a jersey without creating excessive bulk. They are sleek enough to fit comfortably beneath most mountain bike apparel.

These guards are engineered with a secure fit system designed to stay in place even through rough, technical terrain. However, proper sizing is critical, so be sure to consult the size chart to ensure a snug, non-slip fit.

They are versatile enough for both. While they offer the flexibility needed for all-day trail riding, the D3O impact protection provides the high-performance safety required for aggressive downhill sessions.

It is best to hand wash them with mild soap and cool water. Avoid using harsh detergents or putting them in the dryer, as high heat can damage the D3O material and the elastic components.
