Xo: Thumb Guard
Preventing UCL (thumb ligament) damage: a major cause of injury amongst skiers.
The Xo uses smart material d3o and a unique 3D interlocking guard design, working together to act as a splint and preventing hyper-extension during a fall whilst retaining full flexibility at all other times. The final design utilises aesthetic moulding to emphasis the guards functional properties.
