Description
Demon United Ghost D3O® Chest and Back Protector
CE-certified chest and spine padding that disappears under a jacket.
Certified D3O® at both the chest and back in a thermoformed, low-profile build you can wear under a jacket, over a base layer, or on its own — pro-level torso coverage most riders forget they're wearing.
Features
- CE EN 1621 Level 1 certified D3O® (chest & back) — Independently tested smart padding at both zones: pliable while you ride, rate-stiffens on impact to spread force off your ribs, sternum, and spine, then resets instantly.
- Thermoformed contoured body — Shaped to follow your torso instead of lying flat, eliminating the pressure points and air gaps a flat panel creates between the shoulder blades and lower back.
- Fully adjustable shoulder and side straps — Dial the fit to your body and riding position, then it stays locked through drops, crashes, and full days without readjusting.
- Athletic Lycra/mesh build — Breathable, moisture-wicking, and light enough for high-output riding across every season.
- Low-profile, standalone or layered — Slim enough to wear under a jacket, over a base layer, or on its own, with no visible bulk.
- Ghost Rib Protector compatible — Pairs with the Demon Ghost Rib Protector (sold separately) to close the midsection and cover the full torso from spine to sternum.

D3O BP3 is a non-Newtonian smart foam — completely pliable through every twist, crouch, and landing during riding. On impact it rate-stiffens instantly to absorb and disperse energy at the spine. Then it resets. Certified to EN 1621-2.
The thermoformed body contours to follow your torso — that bridges air gaps and digs in at pressure points. It sits flush through every position: crouched, reaching, absorbing a hard landing.
The most effective back protector is the one you wear every day — not just on your biggest days. Slim with a neoprene shell, the Spine Guard X D3O removes the bulk excuse. Put it on. Forget it's there. Let it work when it needs to.

Frequently asked questions
How does the Ghost D3O work with the Ghost Rib Protector?
The Ghost D3O covers your chest and back — the front and rear of your torso. The zone it doesn't cover by itself is the midsection: your floating ribs, obliques, and the gap between your sternum and spine on the sides. That's exactly where the Demon Ghost Rib Protector fills in. The Ghost Rib wraps around the midsection with high-density Dura Foam and a hard deflection shell, creating a full-wrap cocoon from your spine to your stomach. Together, the Ghost D3O and Ghost Rib Protector cover the entire torso — front, back, and sides — with no unprotected zone. Both are sold separately and can be worn together or independently depending on the level of protection you need on a given day.
Will the Ghost D3O fit under a ski or snowboard jacket without bulk or restriction?
Yes — low-profile under-jacket wearability is central to the Ghost D3O's design. The thermoformed lightweight body is contoured to follow your torso, sitting flush rather than creating the pressure points and air gaps of flat-panel protectors. Combined with the athletic construction, it adds minimal thickness under outerwear and doesn't restrict breathing, torso rotation, or arm movement in any direction. The fully adjustable shoulder and side straps let you dial the fit to your specific body shape — tighter for a locked-in feel under a close-fitting jacket, slightly looser for layering over a thick base layer. Most riders wear it directly over a moisture-wicking base layer under their shell or insulated jacket and report no noticeable change to how the jacket fits or moves.
