Gadgets At A Glance: D3o Super-protective Fabric

d3o contour3 465x411 Gadgets At A Glance: D3o Super protective Fabric

What is it: A super protective fabric that’s flexible

Features: The fabric flows with your movements but if there’s an impact, the molecules lock together to form an absorbent, protective covering. It won’t turn you into a superhero ‘d3o man’ but it will protect you against scrapes and bruises.

Availability: Now through any vendor that uses the material (think snowboarding/skateboarding companies)

Price: Varying
