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 stiff and bulky impact protection with a low-profile, flexible solution. They flew out to meet the company behind this invention. It is now history, but that is how their journey began to what is now called XION Protection.

XION Protective Gear

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

Many of the stunt people also participate in (extreme) sports. As a result, the story of the new XION ProtectiveWear brand took a turn the founders themselves had 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 must wear it, but they would rather not. So, if it is comfortable and you do not notice you are wearing it and it does not restrict your movements, then most people are very happy. We achieved that and many athletes now choose XION Protective Wear®."

Snowboard protection with D3O from XION

Snowboard protection products from XION are powered by and protected by D3O's groundbreaking impact protection technology. D3O is a pioneer in the development of shock-absorbing "smart materials." They are exceptional at achieving the highest level of 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 contributed greatly to the creation of innovative undergarments, which are based on both science and practical experience. 

How D3O from XION works

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

D3O® achieves materials through a combination of advanced polymer chemistry and sophisticated design. The materials are soft and flexible without compromising comfort. Compared to standard foams, 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 to 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 dedicated snowboarders and skiers. One of the main reasons they choose XION Protection is that it is hardly visible under your snowboard and ski clothing. This is due to the intelligent material D3O. The material is very supple and follows the lines of your body.
