5-star protection that feels like a regular base layer.
We engineered the most comfortable cut-resistant fabric possible while still exceeding FIS's maximum rating.
Zero test failures. Maximum comfort.
Think you can find cut protection more comfortable? We'll give you a full refund and a free Hawaiian pizza delivered to your door if you do.
Body-armor fiber, knit through the whole garment.
UHMWPE — the same fiber used in body armor — is about 15× stronger than steel by weight. We knit it through the whole garment, not just a panel. So you're protected everywhere, not only where a blade is supposed to land.

The ski cut through my pants, cut through my suit, and tried to cut through [my VIX]. But it didn't. I wasn't cut.
Customer Reviews
Very comfortable. Excellent customer service.
Ordered xs, it was too small. Exchange was seemless and fast. Very happy
My daughter’s 1st pair of VIX protection pants had to be cut off her after she broke her Tib Fib in Sweden this past fall at a ski camp in Kabdalis. Ski patrol and EMTs were unable to cut her pants off at the hill. The Ortho trauma surgeons even had difficulty cutting them off the hospital so you know they will protect you from sharp ski edges. The most recent pants are so much softer. She no longer has to wear soft lulu lemon pants under as a base layer but there is still plenty of room in her womens xs to wear them if she chooses to do so. I would highly recommend these pants to protect your kids! Victor is great to work with and is very responsive.
My daughter is in her third year of ski racing and this season we bit the bullet and bought a pair of the Vixx Women’s Comfort Pro bottoms for her. We could not be happier - well worth the investment. I had heard of Vixx, but it seemed pretty expensive, especially given all the other costs piling up with racing. Over the past few years researched cut proof layers exhaustively, but only found a couple decent options. Eventually I bought a pair of bottoms from a reputable 3-letter ski clothing and protection company, but they were apparently like wearing chain mail under her speed suit, so I sent them back and got back to procrastinating while I combed through the hockey industry's cut proof options again, but didn't find anything that provided the protection needed for skiing. This season I rode a chair with a college racer who had witnessed the accident that launched Vixx. He told me he never gets on his skis without wearing his Vixx. That did it for me, and I ordered them the next day. Then days later there was an accident in our area involving a laceration caused by the racer's own ski edge. Message received - done deal - no buyer's remorse - my daughter loves them - great decision.
They are super flexible and can be used as the only base layer under the speed suit or whatever with absolutely no discomfort or limited flexibility/range of motion. With the right sizing one can fit a thin layer of poly pro or something underneath for added comfort.
Lastly, customer service has been amazing. I'm really impressed with these guys. Thanks!
This is the second pair I have bought for my ski racer son. Version 2.0 is much more comfortable. He is wearing men’s extra small. I’m very happy to have his legs protected in these. I am a trauma surgeon at a busy ski resort hospital. I see a lot of injuries from ski edges and I’m very grateful to have him protected.
This is the only injury we can eliminate from the sport.
