Description
Snowboard & MTB Padded Top — Demon X V7 D3O Body Armor, Women's
Full upper-body padding that wears like a base layer.
D3O® pads at the shoulders, elbows, back and chest, with D3O® and Plush padding across the ribs and lower collarbone, built into a ventilated compression top you can wear from first chair to last run. Made to take the bumps, scrapes and bruising that come with falls on snow and dirt.
Features
- D3O® + Plush padding — D3O® pads at the shoulders, elbows, back and chest, with D3O® and Plush padding on the ribs, lower collarbone and upper chest.
- T6 D3O® at shoulders and elbows — D3O®'s T6 protector: a rate-sensitive material that stays soft and flexible while you ride and firms up when it's compressed, with a thin integrated shell face that resists scuffs and punctures. Backed with soft O2 foam for comfort.
- BP4 back pad and CP1 chest pad — D3O®'s ventilated BP4 back pad runs the length of the spine; the low-profile CP1 chest pad sits over the sternum. Both are removable for washing.
- Collarbone and rib coverage — Added lower-collarbone and upper-chest padding for forward falls, plus articulated rib and abdomen pads that flex with your torso.
- ACF (Athletic Compression Fit) — Cinch-tight chest straps and adjustable elbow straps keep every pad where you set it.
- X-Connect compatible — Links to Demon X-Series shorts to close the lower-back gap and add a low lumbar pad. Works with V4, V5, V6 and V7 shorts.
- All-day wearability — Ventilated Lycra/mesh build, low-cut neckline and a side zipper for easy on and off.

Intended use
For snowboarding, skiing and mountain biking only. Not for motorsports. Designed to cushion minor impacts and reduce bruising, scuffs and abrasions from falls typical of these sports. No protective equipment can prevent serious injury. Fit it snug, check it for damage before each use, and replace it if it is cracked, torn or worn.
Built for snow park, pipe and backcountry, and the same padding works on the mountain bike — for wherever your upper body meets the ground first.

D3O® pads at the shoulders, elbows, back and chest. The shoulders and elbows use T6, the highest-grade D3O® in our lineup: a rate-sensitive material that stays soft while you ride and firms up when compressed.
The ACF compression fit uses cinch-tight chest straps to keep every pad exactly where you set it, from first chair to last run. Adjustable elbow straps dial in the arm padding.
Add the Ghost Rib Protector — high-density Dura Foam under a firm outer layer that wraps from spine to stomach. Sold separately. Pairs with the X V7 shorts and Hyper X V7 knee pads for shoulder-to-knee padding.

Frequently asked questions
Is the V7 good for mountain biking and summer riding, or just snowboarding?
The V7 is built for snowboarding, skiing and mountain biking, all year. The ventilated Lycra/mesh construction manages body temperature well enough for summer mountain biking and trail riding, where you run much hotter than on snow. The ACF compression fit and side zipper make it easy to layer under a jacket or wear on its own. It is not designed or approved for motorsports.
What is the Ghost Rib Protector and do I need it?
The Demon Ghost Rib Protector is an optional add-on that wraps from spine to stomach in high-density Dura Foam under a firm outer layer, adding padding across the ribs and midsection — the area most padded tops don't cover. The V7 top covers the shoulders, elbows, back, ribs and abdomen on its own; the Ghost Rib is for riders who want continuous padding around the torso, especially park riders who spend time on boxes and rails.
Will the V7 impact top fit under a snowboard or ski jacket?
Yes. The V7 is built with a ventilated Lycra/mesh construction and ACF compression fit designed to sit close to the body under outerwear. The low-cut neckline and side zipper reduce bulk at the collar and chest — the two areas where padded tops most often show under a jacket. The pad layout is designed not to create pressure points against the jacket lining. Most riders wear the V7 over a moisture-wicking base layer, under their shell or insulated jacket.
What is X-Connect Technology?
X-Connect is Demon's connection system that physically links compatible Demon padded tops and bottoms at the midsection. Without it, there's usually a gap between where a padded top ends and the shorts begin. X-Connect closes that gap and adds a low lumbar pad for extra lower-back coverage. It works with Demon V4, V5, V6 and V7 tops and bottoms.
