Demon United X V7 D3O® Women's Impact Padded Top

Full upper-body coverage — D3O® impact pads and Plush padding in a build that moves like a base layer.

Shoulders, elbows, back, and chest all covered, with D3O® + Plush padding on the ribs and collarbone — wrapped in a ventilated compression build you can wear from first chair through the last run. This is what you reach for when you're done holding back.

Features

D3O® + Plush padding — D3O® impact pads cover the shoulders, elbows, back, and chest, with D3O® + Plush padding on the ribs and collarbone.
Upgraded T6 D3O® at shoulders and elbows — The highest-grade D3O® in our lineup: a non-Newtonian smart material that stays pliable while you ride and locks hard on impact, topped with a flexible hard shell that helps deflect blows. Backed by soft O2 impact foam to disperse both the initial hit and the force that follows.
Enhanced collarbone coverage — Added collarbone and upper-chest padding for the zone forward falls target directly, plus articulated rib and abdomen pads that flex with your torso.
ACF (Athletic Compression Fit) — Cinch-tight chest straps and adjustable elbow straps lock every pad exactly where you set it, through crashes, drops, and rail slides.
X-Connect compatible — Physically links to compatible Demon impact shorts to close the lower-back gap and add a low lumbar pad. Cross-compatible with V4, V5, and V6 X-Series shorts.
All-day wearability — Ventilated Lycra/mesh construction, a low-cut neckline for free head movement, and an ergonomic side zipper for easy on-and-off. Moves with you crouching, twisting, jumping, and reaching.

Certified D3O® pads — The D3O® impact pads are certified to CE EN 1621, independently tested to a documented impact standard rather than just marketed as padded. Upgraded T6 D3O® at the shoulders and elbows delivers Demon's highest-grade.

The ACF compression fit uses cinch-tight chest straps to lock every pad exactly where you set it — through crashes, drops, and full resort days. Adjustable elbow straps dial in the arm coverage.

Frequently asked questions

The V7 is built for all-season, all-discipline use. The ventilated Lycra/mesh construction manages body temperature well enough for summer mountain biking, trail riding, and BMX — sports where body temperature runs significantly higher than on-snow disciplines. The D3O® pads respond to impacts regardless of season or surface type. Riders use the V7 across snowboarding, freestyle skiing, mountain biking, BMX, motocross, and any other gravity sport where upper body protection matters. The ACF compression fit and side zipper make it easy to layer under or wear standalone depending on conditions.

The Demon Ghost Rib Protector is an optional add-on that wraps from the spine to the stomach with high-density Dura Foam and a hard deflection shell, providing full torso protection between your back pad and your front. The V7 top protects the shoulders, elbows, back, ribs, and abdomen well on its own — but the Ghost Rib is for riders who want complete cocoon-level coverage with no gaps. It's particularly valuable for park riders taking rib-catching slams on boxes, freeride skiers charging consequences terrain, and anyone who has previously broken or bruised ribs and wants maximum torso defense.

Yes. The V7 is built with a ventilated Lycra/mesh construction and ACF compression fit specifically designed to sit close to the body under outerwear. The low-cut neckline and ergonomic side zipper reduce bulk at the collar and chest — the two areas where impact tops most commonly create visible thickness under a jacket. The pad layout is designed to not create pressure points against jacket lining during riding. Most riders wear the V7 directly over a moisture-wicking base layer, under their shell or insulated jacket.

X-Connect is Demon's proprietary connection system that physically links compatible Demon impact tops and bottoms, closing the gap between upper and lower body protection at the mid-section. Without X-Connect, there's typically an unprotected zone between where an impact top ends and shorts begin — exactly where a fall on a rail or box can catch you. X-Connect eliminates that gap and adds a low lumbar pad for extended lower spine coverage. It's compatible with Demon V4, V5, V6, and V7 impact tops.
