The Protection Prosurf D3O Full Shorts are designed for skiers and snowboarders who want reliable impact protection without sacrificing comfort or freedom of movement. Lightweight and discreet, these protective shorts fit easily under ski or snowboard outerwear, providing effective coverage in key impact zones without adding bulk. Thanks to their ergonomic construction and soft materials, they remain comfortable even during long and demanding sessions. Built around advanced D3O technology, these shorts deliver high-level protection while maintaining a natural, flexible feel.
Performance
Performance is driven by the unique properties of D3O. During normal riding, the material stays soft and flexible, allowing unrestricted movement. In the event of an impact, it instantly stiffens to absorb and disperse energy, significantly reducing the force transmitted to the body. This adaptive response provides a very high level of protection while keeping the shorts light and comfortable for all-day use.
Functional construction
The Prosurf D3O Full Shorts are made from breathable fabrics that help manage moisture and maintain thermal comfort. The padding is soft and hypoallergenic, designed for direct skin contact without irritation. An ergonomic cut ensures the shorts adapt naturally to the body’s shape, staying securely in place during dynamic movements on snow.
Technology applied to protection
D3O technology is the core of these protective shorts. Ultra-flexible in its normal state, the material reacts in milliseconds when subjected to impact, hardening to absorb and store energy. This allows the shorts to provide excellent protection for skiing and snowboarding without the stiffness or discomfort of traditional hard-shell protectors.
