Demon United Zero PLUS RF D3O® Unisex Ski/Snowboard Padded Top

Full upper-body padding with added rib coverage and adjustable elbow straps — one lightweight top you can wear under anything.

Back, spine, shoulders, chest, ribs, and elbows all covered in a single under-jacket layer — the step up from the standard Zero RF Top, without the bulk of a full impact top. For riders who want a little more coverage and a locked-in fit.

Features

Rib padding — Added rib coverage the standard Zero RF Top doesn't have, guarding the ribs on side impacts and awkward landings.
Adjustable elbow straps — Dial in the elbow pads and lock them in place so they stay put through the full range of motion.
RZ Labs foam (back, shoulders, elbows) — High-performance padding across the upper-body zones, EN 1621-1 Level 1 certified at the shoulders, elbows, and back. Durable and pliable enough to keep absorbing impact across a full season without compressing out.
Recycled D3O® RF foam underlay — Non-Newtonian smart foam at the key impact zones: pliable while you ride, rate-stiffens on impact, and resets instantly. Built from 100% recycled D3O® Zero material.
Full upper-body coverage — Back, spine, shoulders, chest, ribs, and elbows in one garment, with soft chest padding for forward falls onto hardpack. No gaps in the coverage map.
Ultra-soft, low-profile build — Lightweight and flexible in every direction, designed for all-day under-jacket wear without the heat buildup or movement restriction that leaves full impact tops at the lodge.
A.I. insert compatible — Add optional A.I. (Air Pad Integrated) inserts for extra zone-mapped cushioning.

Frequently asked questions

Demon's exclusive A.I. Air Integrated padding was developed to offer additional padding and cushion under the elbow and shoulder areas. Comes in a pack of 4 units these 5mm Air pads easily insert into the elbow and shoulder pockets providing comfort and shock absorption in any condition.

Yes — fitting under a jacket without restriction is the core design brief. The Zero Plus RF uses an ultra-soft, lightweight build that flexes in all directions with your arms, shoulders, and back. There's no side zipper to dig in, no thick shoulder pad structure to catch on your jacket lining, and no compression system that limits your range of motion. The padding sits close to the body rather than standing away from it, so it adds negligible thickness under outerwear. Most riders wear it over a moisture-wicking base layer under their shell or insulated jacket and report no noticeable restriction through any riding movement. Size to the Demon chart — a snug fit keeps the padding over the right zones all day.

Three products, three protection levels — each built for a different rider and a different day. The Zero RF Vest is the entry point — EN1621-2 certified spine and back protection with soft air foam at the chest and ribs. Slim, lightweight, and built for riders whose priority is spine coverage without any noticeable addition under their jacket. The Zero Plus RF Top is the step up — full upper body coverage across back, shoulders, chest, and elbows with RZ Labs foam certified to both EN1621-1 and EN1621-2. It's the everyday top for riders who want more than a back protector but don't need the full armor system. Lighter and less structured than the X V7, it sits cleanly under any jacket without compression or bulk. The X V7 Impact Top is the full system — six CE EN1621-1 certified D3O® pads, ACF compression fit, adjustable elbow straps, X-Connect compatibility, and upgraded T6 D3O at the shoulders and back. Built for riders who crash hard and want certified protection at every upper body zone. More bulk, more coverage, more cost — worth it if that's the level of riding you're doing.

Yes. The lightweight, flexible construction manages body temperature well enough for mountain biking, trail riding, and shoulder-season sessions where a heavier impact top overheats. The RZ Labs foam and D3O® RF underlay respond identically to impacts regardless of season or surface — your shoulders, elbows, and back need the same protection on a bike park run as they do on a ski slope. The Zero Plus RF covers all four upper body zones without the heat buildup or compression that makes fully padded impact tops impractical for summer disciplines. It's a genuine all-season top for any gravity sport where your upper body hits the ground first.
