The protection in the DEFILADE DDS line comes from the D30® padding inserted throughout the garment. D30® is a trusted, high performance protection product commonly used in motorcycle, sport and film stunt protective equipment. D3O’s patented technology has a unique molecular structure, allowing it to remain soft and flexible. That changes on impact as D3O’s molecules lock together, absorbing the impact energy and dissipating it.

DEFILADE DDS’s D3O® Pads are EN1621 certified. Review our specsheets for a breakdown of each pad’s certifications.

All garments should fit tight to the body so that pads don’t shift out of place when being worn.

IMPORTANT! – DEFILADE products do not provide any ballistic or stab protection.

D3O^® absorbs and dissipates the energy from impacts, reducing the amount of force that gets transmitted to your body compared to standard foams. D3O^®’s patented technology has a unique molecular structure, allowing it to remain soft and flexible. That changes on impact as D3O^®’s molecules lock together, absorbing the impact energy and dissipating it.

D30^® is considered to be the best in high performance impact protection technologies. That are used by global brands in sports, electronics, motorcycle, defence, and industrial workwear.

All DEFILADE DDS products are made and assembled in the European Union.
