SCOTTS VALLEY, Calif. (January 16, 2007) – Sessions and d3o designers have teamed up, developing new products for the Snow 08 season in its Diffusion first layer program. Once again Sessions has worked to incorporate industry firsts in the snowboard market by providing d3o’s optimal comfort and style while also offering maximum injury protection.

d3o’s unique composition makes it the ideal material for use in snowboard and ski wear. d3o contains intelligent molecules that flow with you as you move but lock together on impact, absorbing the impact’s energy. Under normal conditions d3o is soft and pliable, but on impact the material reacts instantly providing a shock absorbing platform. d3o is flexible and lightweight, yet rivals all conventional protective materials making it a great addition to Sessions first layer garments.

Sessions is placing the d3o technology in the men’s first layer top and bottom pieces. d3o will be placed in direct contact areas such as the elbows and knees to provide shock protection. “I was absolutely amazed with d3o’s technology and excited that they wanted to use Sessions as a platform to showcase their product in the snowboard industry” said CEO and founder Joel Gomez. “We look forward to the future developments with Sessions and d3o.”
