The D-Force snow protector for winter sports uses D-Force foams to minimise the deviation in impact resistance due to temperature differences. This is achieved through the addition of additives and polymers that allow the adjustment of Tg (glass transition temperature). The protector thus maintains its hardness under all conditions. As protection against germs that easily grow in humid environments, it uses meshes that are anti-bacterially treated.
Statement by the Jury
Made of specialist foams, the D-Force snow protector is an effective impact and shock absorber. In addition, the material also provides good ventilation, thus aiding hygiene.
