All about XION Protection

Once, two Dutch stuntmen read an article in a scientific journal about a new 'smart' polymer called D3O®. They immediately saw the potential to replace existing rigid and bulky protective gear with a flexible low-profile solution. They took a plane to meet the company behind this invention. Now it's history, but that's how their journey began, which is now called XION Protection.

XION Protective Gear

After years of testing and improvement, the brand XION® Protective Gear was born. During the design process, XION received enormous support from fellow stunt professionals and athletes. In the history of the company, they were also the first to wear the protective undersuits and spread the word about the new and revolutionary product.

Many of the stunt performers also engage in (extreme) sports. This gave the story of the new brand XION ProtectiveWear a twist that the founders themselves never expected. They received requests from athletes all over the world to supply the equipment to them as well.
Simon: "The winter sports market" suddenly became the hottest market for us. Protection is always secondary to what people do. They have to wear it, but would rather not. So, if it’s comfortable and you don’t notice you’re wearing it, and it doesn't restrict your movements, then most people are very happy. We’ve accomplished that, and many athletes now choose XION Protective Wear®."

Snowboard protection with D30 from XION

Snowboard protection products from XION are powered by and protected with D3O's groundbreaking shock protection technology. D3O is a pioneer in the development of shock-absorbing 'smart materials.' They excel at achieving the highest protection while maintaining optimal flexibility.

XION Protection was one of the first to apply the patented D3O technology in ski and snowboard protective clothing. This early collaboration significantly contributed to the creation of innovative undersuits, based on both science and practical experience.

How D3O from XION works

Nothing protects better than D3O®, which offers the thinnest and most advanced impact protection. Ideal for snowboarders and skiers.

D3O® realizes materials through a combination of advanced polymer chemistry and sophisticated design. The materials are soft and flexible without compromising comfort. Compared to standard foam, they react differently when force is applied.

D3O® absorbs and dissipates energy during an impact. This reduces the amount of force transferred to your body and results in fewer harmful injuries in the protected areas that can occur after a fall while snowboarding.

XION Snowboard protection

Whether you are a beginner or have years of experience, good snowboard protection is a must. XION Protection is very popular among avid snowboarders and skiers. One of the main reasons they choose XION Protection is that it is barely noticeable under your snowboard and ski clothing. This is due to the intelligent material D3O. The material is nice and supple and molds to the lines of your body.
