Fox Racing Enduro D3O Elbow Sleeve Large — Breathable, Removable-Insert Protection for Trail and Enduro Riders

Fox Racing Enduro D3O Elbow Sleeve (Large) is a breathable, pedal-friendly elbow guard with removable D3O inserts for trail impact protection and full-range motion.

Designed for enduro and trail riders who need lightweight, breathable coverage when climbing and confidence on the descent, this elbow sleeve blends moisture-wicking micro-lycra with a high-stretch nylon mesh rear panel. The result is an unobtrusive fit that stays put through pedaling, while offering targeted impact protection where you need it most.

How does this sleeve stay comfortable during long climbs?

The sleeve uses a moisture-wicking micro-lycra face and a ventilated nylon mesh rear panel to move sweat away from the skin and keep airflow across the arm. That combination reduces clamminess and overheating on sustained efforts.

• Micro-lycra fabric pulls moisture away from skin
• High-stretch nylon mesh at the back improves ventilation
• Low-profile profile avoids bunching under jerseys

What kind of protection do the D3O inserts provide?

The elbow pads use removable D3O inserts that are soft and flexible in normal motion but stiffen on impact to disperse force. They offer localized protection for knocks and scrapes without the bulk of full hard-shell guards.

• Removable pads let you choose protection level
• D3O material remains pliable during movement
• Designed to absorb and distribute impact energy

Will the sleeve stay in place while I ride?

Silicone grippers at the top and bottom edges secure the sleeve to your arm, preventing upward or downward migration during technical trails and pedaling. A snug but flexible fit maintains range of motion so you can move freely at the bars.

• Top and bottom silicone strips lock the sleeve in place
• Elasticated micro-lycra conforms to arm shape
• Stretch panel at the rear supports full elbow flexion

How do I clean and maintain the sleeves and inserts?

Remove the D3O inserts before washing the sleeves. Machine wash the fabric on a gentle cycle or hand wash, then air dry to preserve stretch and silicone grips; avoid high heat or tumble drying for long-term performance.

• Take out inserts before laundering
• Use gentle wash and line dry only
• Inspect silicone grippers and seams periodically
