I put my fingers fully inside my thigh to try to stop the bleeding. If my cut had been just a couple inches deeper, I would have cut my femoral artery and wouldn't be here to tell this story.

What Athletes Say
My ski cut through everything, except for my VIX leggings. If I hadn't worn VIX I would've had a deep cut in my thigh and probably missed several races.
VIX leggings are by far the most cut-resistant and comfortable product out there. Athletes only stay safe if they wear it every time and with VIX, once the fit is right, they never take it off.
Crashes are part of the sport, but ski edges are no joke. VIX gives me peace of mind—I'm protected without feeling weighed down. It's one less thing to worry about so I can focus on skiing.
The Story
"I built VIX so no racer would ever go through what I did."
Founder of VIX Protection
In 2019, VIX founder Victor Wiacek nearly bled out after his ski severed his artery. The paramedics didn't think he would survive. He did—and with his recovery came a resolution: to completely eliminate the injury from our sport.
