D3O

Many of the brands we carry use D3O material in their products — from snowboard back protectors to impact shorts and knee pads. Discover why this innovative material is ideal for snowboard protection.

D3O develops high-performance shock-absorbing technology for partners around the world. Headquartered in South London, D3O also operates from North America and the Far East. As a leading name in impact protection and shock absorption, D3O’s in-house lab demonstrates a strong commitment to quality, performance, safety, and innovation.

To meet the highest industry standards, D3O collaborates with independent technical partners, including universities and certified testing facilities. Together, they ensure accurate calibration, verification, and product development.

D3O is a Gold Member of SATRA, the UK’s independent test house, and works closely with the Impact Centre — the country’s top testing authority in Formula 1 and defense.

D3O’s materials are precisely engineered by polymer scientists to deliver tailored performance, such as temperature stability, durability, or flexibility. With a broad portfolio, the company offers solutions compatible with various manufacturing processes and market needs.

Athletes at every level rely on D3O — from head to toe. The brand develops cutting-edge protection for leading names like Demon United, Adidas, SCOTT Sports, Under Armour, Warrior, and GENERATOR.
