Construction & Technology

FIS-Approved Race Construction

The Junior Defender is constructed and tested for FIS-level alpine competition, including the required 30 ml air-permeability standard. The official FIS logo on the left leg identifies the suit as meeting the applicable competition requirements for FIS racing.

3D Stretch Construction

Karbon's 3D stretch construction allows the race suit to move with the skier while maintaining a close anatomical fit. Multidirectional flexibility supports unrestricted movement through tuck positions, transitions, and aggressive race turns without requiring excess fabric.

Junior Anatomical Race Fit

The close anatomical cut follows the junior racer's body to create a streamlined competition profile. The fitted construction minimizes loose material while allowing the stretch fabric to accommodate the dynamic movements of alpine ski racing.

Removable Race Padding

Strategically positioned padding adds protection against repeated gate impacts during training and competition. The removable design allows racers to adjust the suit's protection based on discipline, preference, and training needs.

Dye-Sublimated Lycra

The Lycra construction combines flexibility with a smooth, close-fitting race profile. Dye-sublimated graphics are integrated into the fabric for durable Defender styling without adding separate graphic layers that could interfere with stretch and movement.

Race-Secure Details

Thumb loops help keep the sleeves correctly positioned as the racer moves, while boot-gripper elastic anchors the lower legs around the ski boots. Together, these details help maintain consistent suit coverage and fit throughout a race run.
