Demon Zero RF D3O® Unisex Ski & Snowboard Shorts
Demon Zero RF D3O® Unisex Ski & Snowboard Shorts
ESPRO outer shell — EN 1621-1 Level 1 certified at the tailbone
Layered over the D3O RF, the ESPRO polymeric outer tailbone pad is a durable, pliable shell independently certified to EN 1621-1 Level 1 — the same impact protection standard used in motorcycle and extreme sports armor. ESPRO flexes with your movement rather than resisting it, but holds its structural integrity through repeated impacts across an entire season. This is the layer that separates the Zero RF from generic padded shorts: certified protection at the zone that ends the most sessions.
Ultra-plush hip and seat coverage — all-day wearability is the point
Beyond the tailbone, the Zero RF uses ultra-plush foam padding across the hips and seat — soft enough to wear comfortably under outerwear for a full resort day without the stiff, distracting feel that makes most riders ditch their protection by noon. This isn't impact armor for the hips; it's comfort cushioning. If you need CE-certified hip protection, step up to the X V7. If you want all-day coverage that disappears under your pants and still absorbs the routine slams, the Zero RF is built for that job.
Low-profile fit — unisex, youth through adult
The Zero RF is cut for a discreet, close-to-body fit designed to layer cleanly under ski pants, snowboard pants, or MTB shorts without creating bulk at the hips or seat. Available in unisex sizing from youth through adult, it's the protection option for every rider in the group — beginners building confidence, intermediates progressing, and experienced riders who want reliable everyday coverage without suiting up. Lightweight, moisture-wicking, flexible in all directions.
D3O RF — recycled smart foam that works harder than it weighs
The Zero RF uses D3O® RF (Recycled Foam) — the same non-Newtonian smart material technology found across Demon's lineup, now built from 100% recycled D3O material found under the tailbone.

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 and seat 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
Will the Zero RF shorts fit under my ski or snowboard pants?
Yes — that's exactly what they're designed for. The Zero RF uses a low-profile construction that sits close to the body and doesn't create visible bulk at the hips or seat under outerwear. Most riders wear them directly over a base layer, under their ski or snowboard pants, and describe them as easy to forget about once they're on. Size according to the Demon sizing chart — a correct fit is snug but not compressive, with no bunching at the waist or legs. If you're between sizes, size up for a more comfortable layering fit.
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
What is the difference between the Zero RF shorts and the X V7 Impact Shorts?
They're built for different riders and different days. The Zero RF is a slim, low-profile everyday pad — recycled D3O RF foam and an ESPRO EN 1621-1 certified shell at the tailbone, plus plush comfort foam at the hips and seat. It disappears under any pants and is designed to be worn without thinking about it. The X V7 is the full-send option: triple D3O pads, adjustable TPS V2 insert, C.B.I.S. dual strap system, and coverage engineered for riders taking serious hits in the park, pipe, or backcountry. If you're progressing hard or crashing with intent, the X V7 is the right tool. If you want reliable daily protection without the bulk or cost, the Zero RF is built for that.
