3. SCOTT COMMANDER ELBOW
Including Elbow Guards (EN 1621-1 : 2012)
PROTECTOR POSITION AND FIT
For a protector to work properly, it must cover the protected area correctly. The gar-
ment must be the correct size, chosen from the manufacturer's size chart. SCOTT's pro-
tectors are designed to stay firmly in contact with the body. To obtain maximum adher-
ence to the protected area the protector must be worn under tear proof clothing. Belts,
straps and elastic bands should be fastened tightly to guarantee stability of the garment
during use. If the protector has a vest it has to be zipped correctly. Check the entire clo-
sure system with gripping bands and the right placement of the vest before use. The
protector should fit snugly but not too tight. For maximum protection and safety the
protector should not cause any discomfort.
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 effectiveness of your protection and reduce its performance :

riorates as a result of exposure to heat it or improper storage it is not covered by any
SCOTT warranty.
