Impact protection in active sports has traditionally been provided by bulky, rigid protectors. This is not ideal as it forces a compromise between the amount of protection you can accept and the freedom of movement you can enjoy.d3o technology negates this trade-off by providing a high degree of protection AND total freedom of movement.

Head protection has conventionally been provided by helmets with hard outer shells where the inner structure is energy absorbent and often sacrificial. Although the protective qualities of helmets are undeniable, their cumbersome nature has prevented their widespread adoption in many sporting activities. d3o technology allows helmets to deliver better performance and fit, and for the creation of a completely new type of flexible headwear.

Metatarsel guards are in many places a necessary part of working life, but now they don't need to compromise your comfort in order to perform. d3o core met guards are soft and flexible, but on impact the intelligent molecules contained inside them lock together to absorb shock. Performance without compromise.

Your hands are tools that are capable of great dexterity, but if your sport requires protection, then you typically have to sacrifice freedom of movement to obtain a satisfactory level of force reduction. d3o enables you to retain your levels of sensory feedback and provides you with both shock absorption and flexibility.

d3o is flexible, soft and comfortable. On shock the Intelligent Molecules in d3o react instantly to deliver outstanding shock absorption and impact support. When combined with a hard shell, d3o allows you to have a lower profile system that is more flexible and comfortable, with greater shock absorption as well as intrusion and abrasion resistance.
