Those of us who live for the downhill know that washing out on a bank turn and going OTB because we sent that drop a little too far forward is all a part of the game. When we are riding aggressively, we stay protected with quality impact protection like the Fox Racing Launch Pro Knee Guard. This knee guard is designed to give us the best combination of comfort, mobility, and protection thanks to the D3O insert that stays flexible while pedaling and absorbs impacts in the event of a crash or fall. An external skid plate over the knee cap protects our knees and the guards from abrasion, while the EVA side panels add extra protection on the side of our legs. This knee guard features a slip-on design and is secured with a hook-and-loop strap around the calf for a secure fit, and an elastic upper cuff and silicone gripper help to keep the guards from slipping as we are riding. Finally, a removable hard cap internal plate allows us to customize our protection based on the type of riding we are doing.
