FAQs
Are the hip pads removable?
Yes, the D3O hip pads are fully removable for easy washing or to adjust the level of protection.
Are these shorts machine washable?
While the fabric can be machine washed on a gentle cycle, it is highly recommended to hand wash to prolong the lifespan of the chamois and foam padding.
Do these shorts provide protection for the tailbone?
Yes, the shorts include laminated EVA foam specifically positioned for coccyx (tailbone) protection.
What is the PADLOCK system?
It is a connection system by 661 that allows you to attach your protective gear together, ensuring pads remain securely in their intended position.
Is the chamois suitable for all-day riding?
Yes, the multi-density foam chamois is designed for comfort during long durations in the saddle.
Troubleshooting
Pads shifting out of position
Ensure the waistband is snug and utilize the PADLOCK connection points if worn with compatible outer shorts.
Excessive heat build-up
Ensure you are using moisture-wicking outer shorts and check that the garment is not sized too tightly, which can restrict airflow.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-grade CE 1621:1 certified hip impact protection
- D3O pads offer the perfect balance of flexibility and protection
- PADLOCK system prevents shifting during rough terrain
- Moisture-wicking fabric keeps the rider dry

- Requires careful laundering to maintain padding integrity
Setup, Compatibility & Care
For the best fit, ensure the shorts are worn directly against the skin to allow the compression fabric to manage moisture effectively. The PADLOCK Connection System works best when paired with compatible 661 gear, allowing for a seamless integration of protective components. To clean, always remove the D3O hip inserts first. Hand wash the shorts in cold water with mild detergent and hang to dry. Never use bleach or fabric softeners, as these can degrade the moisture-managing properties of the chamois and the integrity of the compression fabric.
