D3O®RF + ESPRO Shell

Recycled D3O® RF foam rate-stiffens on impact and recovers instantly. The ESPRO polymeric outer shell is independently certified to EN 1621-1 Level 1.

Slim+Flex

Low-profile construction disappears under any ski or snowboard pants. Lightweight, moisture-wicking, and flexible in every direction — wear it all day, forget it.

Secure+Smart

The Zero RF stays pliable through every movement — no dead weight, no stiff zones. The unisex close-cut fit locks it in place from first run to last.

The Zero RF is the pad you forget you're wearing — until it saves your tailbone on an edge catch you didn't see coming. Beginner or seasoned, resort or park, it's reliable everyday protection that doesn't ask anything of you.

Hip, tailbone and buttocks padding is ultra-plush comfort foam — cushioned coverage for all-day wear. Right tool for the right ride.

D3O® RF is non-Newtonian smart foam — pliable during riding, it locks on impact to spread force across the tailbone zone and reduce peak pressure. The ESPRO shell adds certified outer structure. Two layers, one slim profile.

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.
