PROTECTOR POSITION AND FIT
For a protector to work properly, it must cover the protected area correctly. The garment
must be the correct size, chosen from the manufacturer's size chart. SCOTT's protectors are
designed to stay firmly in contact with the body. Straps and elastic bands should be fastened
tightly to guarantee stability of the garment during use. Check that all closure systems are
securely closed. The protector should fit snugly but not too tight. For maximum protection and
safety, the protector should not cause any discomfort. If the protector has a vest it has to be
zipped correctly. Check the entire closure system with gripping bands and the right placement
of the vest before use.
One single size cannot fit all body dimensions (height and shape) so it is important to avoid
choosing a protector that is too big as interference with the helmet may occur resulting in a
dangerous riding condition. The sizing system of back protectors is based on the user's waist
to shoulder length, as no consistent relationship to the body height exists. The dimension is
intended to be measured on the body with a tape measure.
Wear, dirt or any kind of damage may compromise their efficiency.

• VIII. CARE AND MAINTENANCE
STORAGE
Contamination with foreign substances and improper care can seriously compromise the effec-
tiveness of your protection and reduce its performance:
Do not expose your protector to extreme direct sunlight.
Do not expose your protector to extremely hot and cold temperatures like those found in a
closed car or outdoor storage.
Hang your gear dry and away form direct heat sources.
SCOTT recommends to store your gear at a temperature between 0°C and 30°C. The gear
should be cleaned accurately before putting it away for long periods.
CLEANING
Washing instructions are indicated on the garment itself. Remove any dirt with a damp cloth
and mild soap. Do not bleach, iron or dry clean. Do not use hair dryers or other heaters. Do
not use solvents or toxic substances to clean it. Remove the protector insert before washing.
CHECKING
It is recommended to regularly inspect (in any doubt please ask an expert or your friendly
dealer) your gear and to replace it at least every three (3) years as of first use and to ensure
it is correctly stored according to the information provided by SCOTT Sports SA. After a
strong stroke on the protection it is recommended to replace it. The protection they offer
could be reduced due to mechanical wear or improper use. Before use, please check the pro-
tector for any damage to the straps, stitching and pads. Dispose of the product if you notice
any damage.
