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.

Utilizing a new tri-ventilation technology, the D3O® LP1 delivers a 45% improvement in breathability while maintaining superior high-performance, soft and flexible D3O® impact protection properties. High levels of humidity are strongly linked to rider discomfort. The enhanced ventilation featured in the D3O® LP1 increases air passage and moisture flow from the body through the pad to maximize comfort in warm conditions, without sacrificing performance.
