Demon fit rule: snug wins
Padded base-layer gear is worn close to the body so the D3O® armor stays put on impact. Between two sizes on base-layer padding? Size down. Layering underneath, or sizing an outer crash pant? Size up.

Description
Snowboard Padded Top — Demon Zero PLUS RF D3O, Rib Coverage
Full upper-body padding with rib coverage and adjustable elbow straps — one lightweight top you can wear under anything.
Back, spine, shoulders, chest, ribs and elbows covered in a single under-jacket layer — the step up from the standard Zero RF Top without the bulk of a full padded top. For riders who want more coverage and a locked-in fit.
Features
- Rib padding — Added rib coverage the standard Zero RF Top doesn't have, for side falls and awkward landings.
- Adjustable elbow straps — Dial in the elbow pads and lock them in place through the full range of motion.
- RZ Labs pads (back, shoulders, elbows) — Durable, pliable RZ-LABS pads across the upper-body zones, made to stay resilient across a full season without compressing out. Removable for washing.
- Recycled D3O® RF foam underlay — Rate-sensitive foam at the key zones: soft while you ride, firms up when compressed, resets instantly. 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.
- Ultra-soft, low-profile build — Lightweight and flexible in every direction for all-day under-jacket wear.
- A.I. insert compatible — Add optional A.I. (Air Pad Integrated) inserts for extra zone-mapped cushioning.
Specs
- RZ-LABS pads at back, shoulders and elbows (removable)
- Recycled D3O® RF foam underlay at key zones
- Soft chest padding; added rib padding; adjustable elbow straps
- Ultra-soft, all-directional stretch construction
- Unisex sizing — refer to the size chart
- Care: hand wash, air dry
- CE marked — Category I PPE, Regulation (EU) 2016/425
- Inserts: the RZ-LABS RZ-803 shoulder and RZ-804 elbow pads are certified by their manufacturer to EN 1621-1:2012 and the RZ-801 back pad to EN 1621-2:2014 (Notified Body 0498). This is the certification referred to on the garment's CE label. The finished top is CE marked as Category I padding; no performance level is claimed for the garment.
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.
The step up from the standard Zero RF Top — more coverage and a more adjustable fit, still low-profile enough to disappear under a jacket.

RZ-LABS foam is durable, pliable and engineered to stay resilient across a full season without compressing out. D3O® RF underlays the key zones — soft while you ride, firms up under compression, resets before your next run.
The Zero RF moves with your arms, shoulders, and back through the full range of motion skiing and snowboarding demand — from first chair to last run without adjustment.
Add Demon's option A.I Air Pad Integrated cushion system under the shoulders and elbows for additional padding and comfort.

Frequently asked questions
What is the optional A.I. padding?
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.
Will the Zero Plus RF Top fit under a ski or snowboard jacket without restricting movement?
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.
What is the difference between the Zero Plus RF Top, the Zero RF Vest, and the X V7 Impact Top?
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.
Is the Zero Plus RF Top good for mountain biking and warm-weather riding?
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.

Great fit and provides protection in all the important areas. I will definitely have more confidence on the slopes this upcoming ski season.

LARGE ZERO PLUS — Preorder Ships 9/15/2026 / Add A.I. Inserts
I tore my rotator cuff in a ski fall in February. I purchased this top to protect my shoulder while I continued my ski season prior to surgery. The top is well made and provides ample protection. I haven’t fallen since I began using this top, so I can’t vouch for its real life protection, but the top has protection in all the right places. The top is relatively light weight and fits me perfectly. I wear the large, and I’m 5’11”, 170 pounds with a 32” waist. The top acts as another base layer, so I removed one base layer and replaced it with this top. My shirt, fleece and ski coat all fit over this top. I highly recommend this top for any skier, especially those over 60 who are more prone to injury after falls.

It felt heavier than I thought it would but defs worth it. I fell on my shoulders/arm on an icy slope and could barely feel a thing thanks to RF D30 top.

It works as it should and protects you against the ice and hard snow. I have fallen plenty and feel more confident that I will not be seriously injured.
The only issue I have is that new to snowboarding and falling less the gear is hot and when just cruising I would like just the bottoms and elbow pads.
Material is well made and very comfortable.

Fit perfectly on my 9-year-old son. A very solid protection without being too bulky or heavy
