Elevate MTB Knee Guards

These Pearl Izumi Elevate Knee Guards offer real protection that stays put and have effective ventilation, hitting all the right notes. Our original Elevate guards set a high standard for comfort and protection. Now, we've upgraded them with TPU skid plates for greater durability and added a calf tension band to keep them firmly in place. The laser - perforated skid plates and ventilated D30® armor ensure these guards stay cool, so you can ride all day without stopping to adjust. Features include Pearl Izumi's most robust design, D3O® viscoelastic LP1 pads for CE level 1 protection in a lightweight and breathable guard, a laser - perforated TPU skid plate for extra protection, durable Cordura® fabric around the removable D3O insert, and a calf tension band for great pedaling performance.

How to use: Put on the knee guards just like you would put on any regular knee - wear. Wrap them around your knees and adjust the calf tension band to make sure they fit snugly. This will keep them in place while you're riding. Things to note: Make sure the D3O inserts are properly placed inside the Cordura® fabric. Don't wear them if the skid plates are damaged as it may affect the protection. Maintenance: You can clean the guards with a mild soap and water. Let them air - dry. Don't put them in the dryer as it may damage the materials. Check the skid plates and D3O inserts regularly for any signs of wear and tear. If you notice significant damage, it's time to replace the guards.
