Hex®
The McDavid HEX® Technology is a patented, closed cell foam padding bonded to the hDc moisture management fabric. As the name implies, HEX® pads are made of hexagon-shaped smaller foam pieces available in three protective thicknesses: 3mm, 9mm and 14mm. Most HEX® products also come with compression technology, which has been shown to help improve endurance, power, and muscle temperature while reducing muscle damage and pain. The moisture management technology used in HEX® products wicks away sweat to help keep you cool. Plus, HEX® products are completely machine washable anddryable.
Technology
cDavid always strives for technologies that can make the difference for serious athletes—from performance-maximizing Targeted Compression and Cross Compression designs to enhancements from High Performance Neoprene and the easy-to-use Versatile Over Wrap System, McDavid is always in pursuit of game-changing advancements.
Sportmed
For more than four decades, McDavid has been refining the art, science and sport of this hybrid discipline called SportMedTM. Our entire philosophy is built on bringing constant innovation to the science of athletic injury prevention and recovery. Technologies include 2-Way and 4-Way Stretch Fabrics and Elite Engineered Elastics. At McDavid, we trust in LIMESTONE NEOPRENE. This neoprene has a high micro-cell structure. These are independent closed cells (bubbles basically) within the neoprene that are packed together at an extremely high density.
HEX® ON THE COURT
In 2003, McDavid delivered the first order of the HEX® protective pads. In nearly 20 years, since the quiet HEX® evolution began, thousands of athletes, trainers, and countless coaches have worn and recommended HEX®. We have been secretly hidden beneath the uniform of most major professional and collegiate sports teams.
