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 first seasons, lessons and park progression — the most cushioned pants in the Zero lineup.

Frequently asked questions
Are these good for kids and youth riders, or just adults?
The Zero PLUS RF Pants are built for both — unisex sizing runs from youth through adult, with the same protection stack at every size. Youth riders in lessons or their first seasons are exactly the audience this product was designed for: they fall frequently, they fall in every direction, and the soreness and fear from repeated impacts is often what cuts a lesson day short or slows progression. The multi-density cushion foam and integrated knee pads are particularly valuable for youth riders who spend more time on their knees and seat than experienced riders do. The low-profile stretch fit works under kids' ski and snowboard pants just as well as adults'. Size using the Demon youth sizing chart for the best fit — pads should sit precisely over the tailbone, hips, and knees rather than floating or bunching.
Do the Zero RF shorts protect my hips as well as my tailbone?
The hip and seat padding in the Zero RF is ultra-plush comfort foam — it cushions routine contact and softens everyday falls
Will the knee pads stay in place during riding, or will they slide down?
The Zero RF uses a two-part retention system specifically designed to prevent the mid-run sliding that makes most riders give up on knee pads. Internal silicone grip bands run against the leg and create passive friction hold — they lock the pad against the skin without compression, so the pad stays put through crouches, jumps, and hard landings without you doing anything. The soft-touch Velcro closure at the top adds a secondary mechanical lock, adjustable to your leg circumference, without the scratchy bite of standard hook-and-loop closures. If you've ditched other knee pads because they ended up around your ankle by noon, the grip band system is the fix.
