After spending the last five years riding across the world, we envisioned creating protective clothing that’s genuinely wearable—gear designed to seamlessly transition from the bike to everyday life.

Our lives demanded jackets and trousers that deliver comfort and flexibility while being light enough to be packed into a rucksack.

Knowing that this was a tall ask that would require the most flexible and lightweight armour, we approached D30. Together, with their technology, we’re freeing a new generation or rider, to Stray Further.

D30®partner with those who redefine what is possible.

But, What is D3O®?

D3O® material is unique due to its composition and properties, which enable it to offer high levels of protection while remaining unrestrictive and lightweight.

The armour is made from a polymer material incorporating "intelligent molecules." These molecules flow freely under normal conditions, allowing the armour to be soft and flexible. However, the molecules lock together upon impact to absorb and dissipate the energy, providing robust protection.

This is known as a non-Newtonian material, as it defies Newton's Laws of Physics.
