The McDavid Hexpad® Technology is a padding system that bonds dozens of individual athletic foam pads permanently into fabrics. Hexpads® are machine washable and cost effective, allowing the development of a new generation of apparel that incorporates protection right into the shirt or pant, unlike anything seen before. Hexpad® Technology allows the replacement of your existing undershirts, pants and sleeves with true performance products. Hexapad® garments have many benefits:

• Comfort: Hexpad® Technology utilizes super- lightweight athletic foam that conforms to and stretches with your body. It doesn’t pinch or bind like traditional sports padding. It breathes for comfort and maximizes the benefits of our HydraVent hDc™ moisture management technology, keeping you cool and dry.
• Compression: Incorporated into compression (spandex) shorts and shirts, Hexpad® products also offer all the benefits of this snug fitting fabric. It supports large muscle groups to help reduce pulls and fatigue. It moves with your body to prevent skin irritation, chafing and abrasions.
• Protection: Hexpads® use high quality closed cell athletic foam padding, the same padding density and impact resistance that is used in pads for American Football and other impact sports. The lighter weight Hexpads® allow for greater coverage at the same or less weight than traditional padding systems.
• Durability: Products using Hexpad® Technology have been designed and tested to be durable. They have been used in some of the most rugged sports like American Football and rugby and wear well through at least one full season. They may be machine washed and dried. Follow directions on the label.
