D3O® TECHNOLOGY
D3O® TECHNOLOGY
D3O® is a patented rate-sensitive viscoelastic material - essentially a flexible, cellular polymer that behaves very differently depending on how fast force is applied:
At normal movement speeds, it remains soft and flexible, moving with the wearer.
On sudden impact (e.g., heavy object drop, strike), its molecules instantly lock together to form a temporary solid, absorbing and dissipating energy.
This unique response helps reduce the amount of force transmitted to the body, which is especially beneficial in protective equipment like footwear, gloves, and guards.
