Description

Snowboard Knee Pads — Demon Zero RF D3O, Ski Knee Guards

The everyday knee pad you put on and forget — recycled D3O® smart foam, no bulk, fits under anything.

Recycled D3O® RF foam and thick comfort foam inside a soft neoprene body, with silicone grip bands and soft-touch Velcro that lock it in place. Slim enough to disappear under any pants, and comfortable enough that you forget you're wearing them.

Features

  • Recycled D3O® RF smart foam — Non-Newtonian foam that moves with your knee through crouches, jumps, and edge catches, then firms up under compression and resets. Built from 100% recycled D3O® Zero material.
  • Thick comfort foam layer — Cushions the constant low-level knocks of all-day park laps and resort riding, layered under the D3O®.
  • Soft neoprene body — Wetsuit-style neoprene conforms to your knee and flexes through every degree without bunching, twisting, or riding up — breathable enough for long sessions.
  • Stay-put fit — An elastic Velcro closure plus internal silicone grip bands hold the pad in place without pressure points or a circulation-cutting squeeze — no reaching down mid-run.
  • Low-profile — Layers cleanly under any ski or snowboard pants.

Specs

  • Recycled D3O® RF foam over a thick comfort-foam layer
  • Soft, flexible neoprene body with internal silicone grip bands
  • Elastic Velcro closure
  • 100% recycled D3O® Zero foam
  • Youth through adult sizing — refer to the size chart below
  • Care: hand wash, air dry
  • CE marked — Category I PPE, Regulation (EU) 2016/425

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 everyday knee pad for every rider in the group — not the most heavily padded in the range (that's the Hyper X V7), but the one you wear every single day because you never know which run is the one that counts.

The Everyday pad.

The everyday knee pad for riders who want real coverage with a slim profile.

D3O® + Comfort Foam

Recycled D3O® RF foam firms up under compression and resets instantly — no locked-up padding mid-run. Thick comfort foam underneath cushions all day.

Locks In. Stays Put.

Soft neoprene body conforms to the knee without bulk or restriction. Silicone grip bands lock the pad against the leg — no rotating, no sliding.

The soft neoprene body conforms to the knee's natural shape — no bunching, no restriction through any degree of flex. Silicone grip bands hold the pad against the leg without compression. Soft-touch Velcro cinches without the bite.

Low-profile under any pants, youth through adult sizing, 100% recycled D3O® foam. The Zero RF is the pad you put on every day — reliable, slim and easy to forget you're wearing.

Most knee pads feel like a compromise — The Zero D3O® RF solves both: pliable at rest, resets instantly. Thick comfort foam handles the rest.

Frequently asked questions

Will these fit under ski or snowboard pants without showing?

Yes — low-profile under-pant wear is the entire point of the Zero RF. The soft neoprene body sits close to the leg without creating a visible pad outline under outerwear, and the slim D3O RF and comfort foam stack doesn't add bulk at the knee cap the way hard-shell pads do. Most riders wear them directly over a base layer under their ski or snowboard pants and report them as easy to forget about once they're on. Size according to the Demon chart — a pad that's too large will bunch under the pants and create exactly the bulk you're trying to avoid. When properly sized, they should feel snug but not compressive, with no bunching at the top or bottom edge.

What is the difference between the Zero RF and the Hyper X V7 knee pads?

Two different pads for two different jobs. The Zero RF is the everyday pad — recycled D3O RF foam inside a soft neoprene body, slim enough to disappear under any pants, light enough to forget about between crashes. It's built for riders who want reliable daily knee protection without armor bulk. The Hyper X V7 is the full-send option — D3O Range (a higher-performance grade), a ballistic Kevlar front shield that resists abrasion from rails, concrete, and ice, and a triple-layer construction built for riders taking serious hits in the park, on technical MTB terrain, or anywhere the consequences of a slam are real. If you're cruising, progressing, or just want coverage every day — Zero RF. If you're sending it and need the protection to match — Hyper X V7.

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.

The padding feels really comfortable and cushy compared to thinner, cheaper pads I got elsewhere. Love the adjustable straps, they don’t feel like they’re going to fall down. Haven’t tried on a slope yet but I feel confident my knees will be protected!

Great knee pads so far. Used for a full day of snowboarding, they stayed in place, and protected my knees very well on a few hard falls. Unsure on longevity, but so far so good!
