Demon United Zero PLUS RF D3O® Unisex Ski/Snowboard Top
Demon Zero PLUS RF D3O® Ski & Snowboard Top — Full Upper Body Coverage. EN-Certified. Fits Under Anything.
The Zero Plus RF is the step up from a back protector vest — full upper body coverage across back, shoulders, chest, and elbows in one lightweight, under-jacket top. Recycled D3O® RF foam and RZ Labs foam technology certified to EN1621-1 Level 1(shoulders, elbows and back). Real protection across every zone that hits the ground first. Zero bulk. Fits under anything.
A back protector handles your spine. A full impact top armors every zone. The Zero Plus RF Top sits exactly between those two things — and for most riders, it's the right call.
It covers the four zones that take the most damage in a real crash: back and spine with an EN1621-1 certified RZ Labs guard and recycled D3O® RF underlay, shoulders with RZ Labs foam that absorbs the lateral hits that come from catching an edge and going down sideways, chest with soft impact padding for forward falls onto hardpack, and elbows with EN1621-1 certified coverage for the instinctive reach that happens the moment you feel yourself going down. Every zone addressed. No gaps in the coverage map.
Recycled D3O® RF foam underlays the key impact zones — the same non-Newtonian smart foam across the Zero RF lineup that stays pliable during riding, rate-stiffens on impact, and resets instantly. You don't feel it working until the run where it matters. RZ Labs foam handles the structure — durable, high-performance padding engineered for repeated impact absorption without compressing out across a season.
The build is ultra-soft, lightweight, and flexible in all directions — designed specifically for under-jacket wear without the compression, heat buildup, or movement restriction that makes riders leave full impact tops at the lodge. It moves with your arms, shoulders, and back through the full range of motion that skiing and snowboarding demand.

RZ Labs foam is durable, pliable, and engineered for repeated impact absorption without compressing out across a season. D3O RF underlays the key zones — soft during riding, locks on impact, resets before your next run.
The Zero Plus 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.
