Demon United Zero PLUS RF D3O® Unisex Ski/Snowboard Vest

Demon United Zero RF D3O® Ski & Snowboard Vest — EN-Certified Back Protection. Recycled D3O®. Fits Under Anything.

The Zero RF Vest is the back protection you put on and forget about — until it matters. Recycled D3O® RF foam and RZ Labs certified back guard team up for full-back coverage that complies with EN1621-2 Level 1, wrapped in a construction soft enough to wear under any jacket all day. Spine protection that doesn't ask anything of you except to wear it.

Back injuries end seasons. Spine injuries end careers. And yet most riders go out every single day with nothing between their back and the ground. The Zero RF Vest is built for those riders — the ones who want real back protection without the bulk, the heat, or the wrestling match of getting a full impact top on and off at the lodge.

The protection stack starts with a RZ Labs Foam back guard certified to EN1621-2 — a durable, pliable panel that runs the length of your spine, absorbing and dispersing the force from edge catches, backward slams, and the kind of flat-back landings that nobody plans for. RZ Labs foam is engineered for repeated impact absorption across a full season without losing structural integrity — this isn't padding that compresses once and calls it done.

Layered with recycled D3O® RF foam as the soft underlay, the back zone gets the combination of smart impact response and all-day pliability that defines the Zero RF lineup. D3O RF rate-stiffens on impact and returns to its flexible state instantly — no stiff panel locked against your spine between runs, no restriction through the full range of back movement you need for riding.

At the chest and ribs, soft air foam padding provides lightweight coverage and comfort without adding the bulk that makes full impact tops feel like armor. This is the vest for riders who want spine protection as their priority and a bit of frontal cushioning to go with it — not a full six-pad impact system. 

Available in youth through adult sizing, it layers clean under any ski or snowboard jacket without a visible outline or movement restriction in any direction. Built from recycled D3O® Zero foam, it's back protection with a conscience. The mountain you're riding on deserves the same care you give your spine.
