Everything 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 impact protection 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 significant 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 performers also engage in (extreme) sports. This led to a twist in the story of the new brand XION Protective Wear that the founders themselves never expected. They received requests from athletes worldwide to provide them with the gear as well.
Simon: "The winter sports market" suddenly became the hottest market for us. Protection is always secondary to what people do. They need to wear it, but they'd rather not. So, if it's comfortable and you don’t notice you are wearing it, and it doesn’t restrict your movements, then most people are very happy. We achieved that, and many athletes are now choosing XION Protective Wear®."

Snowboard protection with D30 from XION

Snowboard protection products from XION are powered and protected by D3O's groundbreaking shock protection technology. D3O is a pioneer in the development of shock-absorbing 'smart materials'. They excel in 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 contributed significantly to the creation of innovative underclothing, 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 advanced 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 transmitted to your body and results in less 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 passionate snowboarders and skiers. One of the biggest reasons they choose XION Protection is that it is hardly noticeable under your snowboard and ski clothing. This is due to the intelligent material D3O. The material is nice and flexible and conforms to the lines of your body.
