(Huntington Beach, CA – 02/19/26) Delta Three Oscar, the ballistic arm of impact protection brand D3O is showing its commitment to supporting those who serve, by announcing its official partnership with The Dirt Therapy Project, a non-profit dedicated to supporting military Veterans through mountain bike experiences and community connection.
With a mission to save lives and bring home troops safely, Delta Three Oscar will be supporting The Dirt Therapy Project’s Veteran rides throughout the year, helping promote the organization, enhance safety, and strengthen the sense of community that helps Veterans reestablish life after service.
Delta Three Oscar was founded on a simple but powerful mission: to save lives, by delivering advanced protection solutions to military, law enforcement, and first responders. The company engineers the world’s best ballistic helmet suspension systems, ballistic protection pads to reduce back face deformation for chest plates, as well as impact protecting knee guards and underfoot shock absorbing mid soles.
By extending its commitment to safety from the frontline and into veterans’ everyday lives, the brand is combining its 20 years of expertise in protective technology with its leadership in mountain bike protection. As a key ingredient used by leading bike brands including Troy Lee Designs, Fox, ODI, Specialized and Dakine, it is uniquely positioned to bring the best protection to Veteran mountain bike riders. By bridging these two industries, Delta Three Oscar is helping Veterans reconnect through mountain biking an activity that the team at The Dirt Therapy Project has proven to support mental wellbeing and help alleviate stress associated with active deployment.
“Whether protecting troops on the frontline or mountain bike riders on the trail, our mission to deliver the best protection possible and bring people home safely is the same.” said Serena Thynne, Head of PR at Delta Three Oscar. “That’s why we’re proud to support The Dirt Therapy Project. We have seen first-hand the life-changing impact they have in helping Veterans transition back into their communities.”
The Dirt Therapy Project hosts community events and mountain bike experiences which offer their members therapeutic benefits, community support, and confidence as they transition to civilian life. Through this official partnership, Delta Three Oscar will:
- Support Veteran Ride events throughout the year
- Provide advanced protective solutions to enhance rider safety
- Collaborate on awareness initiatives highlighting Veteran challenges and wellbeing
- Offer exclusive opportunities for the Veteran community to participate in select events
“This partnership strengthens our ability to serve Veterans in meaningful ways,” said Jonathan Hagerman Founder of The Dirt Therapy Project. “With Delta Three Oscar’s commitment to protection and performance, we can continue expanding our reach and impact.”
As the partnership rolls out across 2026, supporters can expect collaborative content, community-led ride days, and exclusive engagement opportunities that bring together veterans, riders, and the top mountain bike brands who share a commitment to protection, performance, and purpose.
