D3O is a soft flexible material that will shape to your body comfortably. The big change happens when it takes an impact, all the polymers lock together protecting you against the impact. This means that the harder the impact, the greater the resistance to the force.

The front caps consist of a Lightweight dual density foam front cap with a layer of D3O padding underneath. For extra comfort, these elbow pads are made with neoprene, and lycra for support, sweat dispersion and added durability. These elbow pads do not have straps and have strands of beaded silicone running the diameter of the inside to keep them in place while you move.

D3O technology is a patented smart material known for its use in protective gear and impact-resistant products. The material is soft and flexible at rest, but upon impact, it instantly hardens due to non-Newtonian polymers within a dilatant fluid. This unique property allows D3O to provide effective impact protection without sacrificing comfort or flexibility. Widely applied in sports, industrial, electronics, and military contexts, D3O is utilized in helmets, knee pads, gloves, and other gear, offering a combination of comfort and enhanced impact resistance by dynamically adapting its stiffness in response to sudden forces.

Using D3O will ensure that you get superb impact protection even with it's ultra low profile, lightweight construction but is not intended for heavy falls on hard surfaces but great for falls on the slopes.
