In addition to absorbing and dissipating impacts, HexPads are extremely lightweight and breathable, a key factor for athletes who want increased protection without adding to the size and weight of their equipment.

"No matter the sport, athletes are always looking for a competitive advantage," said Harry Brown, national promotional director for McDavid Sports, who works one-on-one with teams and trainers across the country."

"McDavid's protective gear is instrumental in keeping me on the court," Wade said. "I never have any second thoughts about taking it to the hoop wearing the HexPad."

McDavid's HexPads are integrated into the company's full line of compression apparel, which features hDc moisture management technology. The hDc compound absorbs sweat and disperses it into the fabric, evaporating moisture quickly and effectively. When an athlete heats up and sweats, the apparel stays dry, keeping him cool and comfortable.

Athletes in all sports and at all levels of competition utilize HexPad technology. McDavid's compression apparel featuring HexPad technology includes shorts and shirts as well as other protective equipment. Depending on the sport, padding is strategically placed in high-impact zones, including the shoulders, chest, back, hips and thighs. HexPad compression apparel is specifically designed to meet the individual needs of all sports.

McDavid's HexPad compression apparel retails between $49.99 and $69.99 and can be found at major sporting goods retailers, including: Sports Authority, City Sports, Chick's Sporting Goods, Sports Chalet, Hibbett Sports, Olympia Sports and Walgreens.com.
