FIS Specifications: Cut-Resistant Undergarments (Section 3.5.3)

3.5.3.1 Definition

Cut-resistant undergarment are clothing items worn underneath the competition suit, designed to improve the athlete's protection against cut injuries.

3.5.3.2 General Specifications

In order to provide appropriate protection, the cut-resistant undergarment must be sized correctly based on producer’s guidelines and worn in strict compliance with manufacturer instructions of use. The undergarment shall be used without alteration/modification, as certified by the manufacturer. Cut-resistant undergarment is intended to provide supplementary protection and not infinite cut protection.

3.5.3.3 Technical specifications

The cut-resistant undergarment level of protection is defined by the specifications of the FIS-DITF test standard 2021. Basic definition parameters are: The minimum uncut measuring length for each level are: 200mm, cut resistance at cutting force of the corresponding level 4 out of 5 tests of the same textile must have the corresponding cut resistance in 3 directions of textile positions: 0° / 45° / 90°. The direction with the lowest cut resistance value defines the FIS star level.

Force (N) 100 200 300 400 500
FIS-star * ** *** **** *****

Fulfilment of requirements is to be attested by these standardised conformity labels, affixed on the outer side of the protection garment in a Specifications for Alpine Competition Equipment 2025/2026 non-removable way at the back of the lower left leg above the top of the ski boot cuff area in the size of 30x50mm. “Conforms to FIS Specifications CRG 2021” and depict the achieved FIS-star(s) level. The conformity label certifies that the manufacturer has obtained the required certifications (FIS-DITF 2021) fulfils the above requirements. To receive the label, the test protocol must be submitted to FIS Athletes Health Unit.

3.5.3.4 Implementation of cut resistant undergarment

The use of cut-resistant undergarment is strongly recommended for all disciplines events at all levels. The use of cut-resistant undergarment pants is mandatory for all events disciplines at category race level 0 and 1 from season 2025/2026 onwards.

Description & Features

The VIX Youth Comfort Pro Cut Resistant Pant gives junior ski racers FIS 5-star cut protection in a flexible base layer designed to move naturally on snow. Its protective knit combines high-strength UHMWPE fiber with stainless-steel wire to help resist cuts from sharp ski edges without the bulky feel of traditional protective layers.

Protection extends throughout the garment rather than being limited to targeted panels, providing coverage from the waistband to the cuffs. The close-to-body fit layers comfortably beneath a race suit or ski pants, while the flexible construction lets the VIX Youth Comfort Pro Cut Resistant Pant double as a warm base layer for training and race days.

Construction & Technology

FIS 5-Star Cut Protection

The Comfort Pro carries the highest FIS 5-star cut-resistance rating. For junior racers training and competing around sharp ski edges, this construction provides an added layer of protection against ski-edge lacerations without requiring a separate bulky protective garment.

UHMWPE Protective Fiber

Ultra-high-molecular-weight polyethylene (UHMWPE) is a high-strength fiber that provides substantial cut resistance for its weight. VIX knits the fiber throughout the Comfort Pro garment, combining protection with the flexibility needed for an athletic ski racing base layer.

Stainless-Steel Reinforcement

Fine stainless-steel wire is incorporated into the protective material to increase resistance against sharp ski edges. Combined with UHMWPE fibers, the reinforcement helps provide high-level cut protection while preserving the flexibility young racers need to move freely.

Whole-Garment Protection

Instead of placing cut-resistant material only in selected impact zones, VIX incorporates the protective fibers throughout the garment. This provides consistent coverage from the waistband through the legs to the cuffs and helps account for the unpredictable ways a ski edge can contact the body during a fall or collision.

Base-Layer Comfort

Comfort Pro is designed to fit close to the skin without unnecessary bulk. Its flexible construction allows junior racers to wear it as their primary lower-body base layer beneath a speed suit or ski pants, reducing the need to stack a separate protective layer over traditional long underwear.
