Engineered for competitive alpine racers, this FIS 5-star certified protective layer combines exceptional cut resistance with the soft, flexible comfort of everyday thermal underwear. Its innovative fabric integrates steel wire into every knit loop, surrounded by high-strength protective fibers and a soft outer layer that feels comfortable against the skin. Unlike bulky protective pads, the protection is built directly into the fabric, allowing natural movement while providing an added barrier against sharp ski edges. Designed to double as a warm base layer, the Comfort Pro keeps racers comfortable and protected through training sessions and race days, with the official FIS certification label included.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cstyle\u003e\n.vix-comfort-pro {\n  margin-top: 28px;\n  width: 100%;\n  font-size: 15px;\n  line-height: 1.7;\n}\n\n.vix-comfort-pro h4 {\n  font-size: 18px;\n  font-weight: 700;\n  border-bottom: 1px solid #ddd;\n  padding-bottom: 6px;\n  margin: 0 0 14px;\n}\n\n.vix-comfort-pro .spec-grid {\n  display: grid;\n  grid-template-columns: repeat(3, minmax(0, 1fr));\n  gap: 8px;\n  margin-bottom: 26px;\n}\n\n.vix-comfort-pro .spec-pill {\n  background: #f7f7f7;\n  border: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\n  border-radius: 8px;\n  padding: 9px 11px;\n}\n\n.vix-comfort-pro .spec-pill strong {\n  display: block;\n  font-size: 11px;\n  line-height: 1.4;\n  text-transform: uppercase;\n  letter-spacing: .3px;\n  color: #666;\n  margin-bottom: 3px;\n}\n\n.vix-comfort-pro .spec-pill span {\n  display: block;\n  font-size: 13px;\n  font-weight: 600;\n  line-height: 1.4;\n  color: #222;\n}\n\n.vix-comfort-pro .feature-card {\n  background: #fff;\n  border: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\n  border-radius: 10px;\n  padding: 16px;\n  margin-bottom: 12px;\n}\n\n.vix-comfort-pro .feature-card h4 {\n  border: 0;\n  padding: 0;\n  margin: 0 0 6px;\n}\n\n.vix-comfort-pro .feature-card p {\n  margin: 0;\n}\n\n.vix-comfort-pro .video-wrap {\n  margin: 16px 0 26px;\n}\n\n.vix-comfort-pro .video-wrap video {\n  display: block;\n  width: 100%;\n  max-width: 850px;\n  height: auto;\n  border-radius: 10px;\n  background: #111;\n}\n\n.vix-comfort-pro .video-caption {\n  font-size: 13px;\n  color: #666;\n  margin-top: 8px;\n}\n\n.vix-comfort-pro .video-link {\n  display: inline-block;\n  margin: 0 0 28px;\n  color: #222;\n  font-weight: 600;\n  text-decoration: underline;\n  text-underline-offset: 3px;\n}\n\n.vix-comfort-pro .table-scroll {\n  width: 100%;\n  overflow-x: auto;\n  -webkit-overflow-scrolling: touch;\n  margin: 18px 0 28px;\n}\n\n.vix-comfort-pro table {\n  width: 100%;\n  border-collapse: collapse;\n}\n\n.vix-comfort-pro th,\n.vix-comfort-pro td {\n  border: 1px solid #ddd;\n  padding: 12px;\n  text-align: left;\n  vertical-align: middle;\n}\n\n.vix-comfort-pro th {\n  width: 35%;\n  background: #f5f5f5;\n}\n\n.vix-comfort-pro .size-chart table {\n  min-width: 760px;\n}\n\n.vix-comfort-pro .size-chart th,\n.vix-comfort-pro .size-chart td {\n  text-align: center;\n  white-space: nowrap;\n}\n\n.vix-comfort-pro .size-chart thead th,\n.vix-comfort-pro .size-chart tbody th {\n  background: #f5f5f5;\n  font-weight: 700;\n  width: auto;\n}\n\n.vix-comfort-pro .size-chart tbody th {\n  text-align: left;\n}\n\n.vix-comfort-pro .metric {\n  display: block;\n  color: #777;\n  font-size: 12px;\n  font-weight: 400;\n}\n\n.vix-comfort-pro .info-note {\n  background: #f7f7f7;\n  border: 1px solid #e5e5e5;\n  border-radius: 10px;\n  padding: 16px;\n  margin-bottom: 28px;\n}\n\n.vix-comfort-pro .info-note p {\n  margin: 0 0 10px;\n}\n\n.vix-comfort-pro .info-note p:last-child {\n  margin-bottom: 0;\n}\n\n@media (max-width: 768px) {\n  .vix-comfort-pro .spec-grid {\n    grid-template-columns: repeat(2, minmax(0, 1fr));\n  }\n\n  .vix-comfort-pro .size-chart th,\n  .vix-comfort-pro .size-chart td {\n    padding: 10px;\n    font-size: 14px;\n  }\n}\n\n@media (max-width: 520px) {\n  .vix-comfort-pro th {\n    width: 42%;\n  }\n\n  .vix-comfort-pro .size-chart th {\n    width: auto;\n  }\n}\n\u003c\/style\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"vix-comfort-pro\"\u003e\n\u003c!-- KEY SPECIFICATIONS --\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Specifications\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-grid\"\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-pill\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBest For\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eAlpine Ski Racing\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-pill\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCertification\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eFIS 5-Star Certified\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-pill\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eProtection\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eCut-Resistant\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"spec-pill\"\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eConstruction\u003c\/strong\u003e \u003cspan\u003eSteel-Core \u0026amp; Body Armor Fiber\u003c\/span\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\n\u003c!-- KEY TECHNOLOGIES --\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eKey Technologies\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"feature-card\"\u003e\n\u003ch4\u003eFIS 5-Star Certified Cut Resistance\u003c\/h4\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Comfort Pro meets the highest rating under the FIS-DITF 2021 cut-resistance standard.
