  this looks promising... gel that reacts to hard impacts and realines it's molecules to form a hard surface. http://www.d3o.com/products.php?section=4



It's pricey and not available in too many places, yet. the motorcycle jackets look promising as does 661's pads.


my buddy saw it a mtn biking symposium and they were hitting it with hammers, said it seemed pretty amazing.

any one seen this yet?

see Douggs' helmet thread. the new helmet uses d3o.

Pads wtf your getting soft in your age

There are some threads about d3o from a couple of years back when the company announced the stuff. I made several attempts to contact the company to get samples and information, but they were never returned.

The marketing department over there is pretty easy to shmooze into samples

that racing suit looks dope for cliff armor.

i use a pair of sessions long underwear with D3O pads sewn in the knees for skiing. its perfect stuff for base. soft and flexible til you need it. i don't noticed its even there unless i hit something
