Demon United X V7 D3O® A.I. – The Most Advanced Snowboard Impact Short Ever

The Demon X V7 is the result of 25 years of experience and direct feedback from snowboarders who know exactly where it hurts. While most snowboard impact shorts only protect a single zone with basic foam, the X V7 offers an integrated safety system. Featuring three built-in D3O® pads, a CE-certified tailbone protector, and the revolutionary A.I. Plush Padding™ system, this is the ultimate choice for riders who refuse to compromise on safety.

Triple D3O® Protection & CE Certification

This impact short protects the three most critical zones during a crash on the slopes: the tailbone, hips, and thighs. The core of the short is the upgraded T6 tailbone protector, officially certified according to the CE EN 1621-1 Level 1 standard for limb and impact protection.

• The Power of D3O®: This intelligent material stays soft and flexible while riding, giving you complete freedom of movement. Upon impact with an icy slope, a rail, or a box, the molecular structure locks instantly to absorb the shock.

• Maximum Safety: Perfect for heavy impacts in the park, on features, or during high-speed runs on hard-pack snow.

Innovative A.I. Plush Padding™ & T.P.S. V2

Comfort on the mountain is essential for a long day of riding. The new A.I. (Air Pad Integrated) Plush Padding™ system utilizes zone-mapped air channels. This allows the impact short to breathe better and wick moisture away, keeping you dry and comfortable during intense sessions.

Additionally, Demon introduces the updated T.P.S. (Total Padding System V2):

• Customized Fit: An industry-first innovation where the padding inserts can be adjusted and locked into place. Position your D3O® protection exactly where your unique anatomy and riding style require it, rather than relying on a standard mold.

Stability via the C.B.I.S. System

One of the biggest annoyances with lower-quality impact shorts is that the protection shifts during a run. The Cross-Belt Integration System (C.B.I.S.) fixes this. Using dual, overlapping straps, the waistband is securely locked down. This prevents the shorts from sliding down and keeps the tailbone protector from twisting away when you need it most.

X-Connect: Seamless Protection

The X V7 is designed as part of a complete body armor system:

• X-Connect Technology: Connect this impact short directly to any compatible Demon impact top. This eliminates the notorious "gap" between your lower back and pants, creating a continuous line of protection for your spine.

• Low Profile: Despite its heavy-duty protection, the construction is slim enough to fit discreetly under your regular snowboard or ski pants without adding unnecessary bulk.

Who is the Demon X V7 for?

These high-end impact shorts are built for riders pushing the limits:

• Park & Street: For those charging at rails, boxes, and kickers.

• Freeriders: For snowboarders tackling icy faces and steep powder fields.

• Anyone Tired of Pain: For any rider who has taken a brutal fall on their tailbone and decided it should never happen unprotected again.

Are you a recreational cruiser who rarely falls? Then our Zero RF D3O line is an excellent, lighter alternative. The X V7 is built for riders taking their progression seriously.

Important Sizing Advice:

The Demon X V7 features a snug, athletic fit. If you find yourself between sizes or right on the borderline of a size, we highly recommend ordering one size up for the best comfort. A great rule of thumb is to look at your standard jeans size in inches (e.g., 30, 32, 34, etc.) and match it to the sizing chart.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

What makes the Demon X V7 better than a standard impact short? Most cheap alternatives use basic foam padding that flattens out over time and fails to absorb hard impacts. The Demon X V7 uses premium D3O® material that is flexible while moving but hardens instantly upon impact. Additionally, you can adjust the pad positioning yourself, and the C.B.I.S. strap system prevents any shifting.

Can I also use this short for skiing or other sports? Yes, absolutely. While it is incredibly popular among snowboarders due to the heavy-duty tailbone protection, it is also perfect for skiers (especially freestyle skiers), skating, or mountain biking where hip and tailbone protection is required.

What is the benefit of the X-Connect technology? If you also wear a Demon impact top (back/chest protector), you can link the top to this short using the integrated hook-and-loop attachments. This prevents your shirt from riding up and your shorts from sliding down, keeping your lower back completely covered and protected from hits and cold snow.

How do I clean and maintain the Demon X V7? It is crucial to remove the D3O® pads and other hard padding inserts from the short via the designated pocket openings before washing. Machine wash the fabric fabric shell on a cold, delicate/hand-wash cycle. Do not use fabric softener, and never put it in the dryer, as heat will ruin the elastic materials and bonded elements. Always air-dry on a rack.

Will these shorts get too hot with all this padding? No, thanks to the A.I. Plush Padding™ system, the shorts feature integrated ventilation channels. This ensures a constant airflow around the padding, drawing heat and sweat rapidly away from your body.
