Description
Demon United Hyper X V7 D3O® A.I. Knee Pads | Snowboard & MTB
Demon's most advanced knee pad — triple-layer D3O®, Kevlar, and Air Pad Integrated coverage for snow, dirt, and concrete.
Built for riders who hit hard surfaces: D3O® impact padding, a ballistic-grade Kevlar front shield, and the new A.I. (Air Pad Integrated) system, in a pad that breathes like activewear and stays locked in place.
Features
- D3O® impact padding — Soft and flexible while you ride; on impact its non-Newtonian polymer locks to spread force across a wider area, then resets instantly so it never stiffens you out.
- Kevlar front shield — A ballistic-grade Kevlar panel at the outer layer resists abrasion from concrete, asphalt, rails, and ice that would shred standard fabric, keeping the pad intact after slides.
- A.I. (Air Pad Integrated) system — Air-pad channels through the pad body add impact absorption, paired with perforated neoprene, a soft mesh inner panel, and a terry-lined moisture-wicking interior that breathes on all-day sessions.
- Lock-in Velcro fit — A comfort strap system holds the pad against the knee without digging in or cutting circulation, and the form-fitting build moves with knee flexion.
- Built to last — Double-bound stitching at every stress point for multi-season durability through repeated slams and washes.

The Hyper X V7 is equally at home on snow, dirt, or concrete. It's the go-to knee pad for park snowboarders, freeride skiers, mountain bikers, BMX riders, and any athlete who needs real knee protection that won't interfere with movement.
Demon's new Air Pad Integrated (A.I.) system uses an Air Pad System throughout the pad body to create impact absorbtion channels.
Double-bound stitching at every stress point means the Hyper X V7 holds together through repeated slams, washes, and the kind of abuse that cheaper pads come apart from by mid-season.

Frequently asked questions
Will the Hyper X V7 knee pads fit under snowboard or ski pants?
Yes. The Hyper X V7 is designed with a low-profile construction specifically to be worn under snow pants, ski pants, or MTB shorts. The perforated neoprene body and slim form factor keep bulk to a minimum. We recommend sizing up if you're between sizes or planning to layer over a thermal base layer.
What does A.I. (Air Pad Integrated) mean?
Demon's new Air Pad Integrated (A.I.) system uses an Air Pad System throughout the pad body to create impact absorbtion channels. Paired with ventilated perforated neoprene and a soft mesh inner panel, the result is a knee pad that breathes like activewear, not armor. The terry-lined moisture-wicking interior adds a layer of comfort that makes the Hyper X V7 wearable for full-day park sessions, long lift days, or back-to-back riding without the clammy, overheated feel that kills other pads by noon.
What makes D3O knee pads better than standard foam knee pads?
D3O is a non-Newtonian smart material — it's soft and flexible during normal movement, then instantly hardens on impact to distribute force and reduce peak pressure on the knee. Standard foam compresses at a fixed rate regardless of impact speed. D3O responds proportionally: the harder the impact, the greater the resistance. It also recovers immediately after impact, returning to flexible state so it doesn't lock up mid-run. The Hyper X V7 adds A.I. (Air Integrated padding system) as a second absorption layer and Kevlar for abrasion resistance — a triple-layer stack that standard foam pads simply can't match.
