About the Demon Flexmeter Double Sided D3O
The Flexmeter Double Sided Wrist Guard is a ski/snowboard glove with an inbuilt protective wrist guard that offers all the protection that a rider needs out on the slopes. Using integrated D3O wrist protection and a Dupont Hytrel splint, the guard protects the wrist from falls whilst riding.
D3O is a soft flexible material that will shape to your body comfortably. The big change happens when it takes an impact, all the polymers lock together protecting you against the impact. This means that the harder the impact, the greater the resistance to the force.
The Flexmeter Dual features Demon’s Flexmeter Double wrist guard that has thermoplastic Hytrel splints on top of the guard and along the heel of the wrist to stop the wrist from over bending, preventing sprains and fractures. An added soft-gel layer is fitted in between the wrist and the splint for a better fit and more comfort. Studies have shown the Flexmeter protective wrist guard to be 67% safer when compared with not wearing protective equipment, making them an essential for snowboarders, and in particular beginner snowboarders.
The Demon Flexmeter snowboard/ski double sided wrist guard offers maximum protection with its integrated D3O technology. This glove/wrist guard combination ensures a comfortable fit for riders who require a wrist guard with features to keep your hands dry and warm.
D3O technology is a patented smart material known for its use in protective gear and impact-resistant products. The material is soft and flexible at rest, but upon impact, it instantly hardens due to non-Newtonian polymers within a dilatant fluid. This unique property allows D3O to provide effective impact protection without sacrificing comfort or flexibility. Widely applied in sports, industrial, electronics, and military contexts, D3O is utilized in helmets, knee pads, gloves, and other gear, offering a combination of comfort and enhanced impact resistance by dynamically adapting its stiffness in response to sudden forces.
