Review on 🦊 Maximum Protection and Comfort with Fox Racing Launch D3O Elbow Pad by Eric Montgomery

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Great product but difficult to size

I needed protection from a serious elbow injury, not cycling or motorcycling but I know Fox as a former motorcyclist (causing a horrible elbow injury) so I trust them. These protectors are perfect with one problem: they didn't fit me. Based on my measurements, I need a small one, but I can't get it on my elbows without pain, so I have to use a slightly loose medium. It's hard to find CE certified soft shell elbow protectors. And unlike many protectors I've tried, the pads wrap around your angled elbow bones on both sides, so they don't damage my injuries by putting pressure on those bones or leaving them open to injury. I can't say if I trust them for cycling/motorcycling as they usually have a hard shell. Again the hard armor shattered my elbow into 100 pieces.

Pros
  • Certified
Cons
  • Hard to say
