Is This Simple Gear Letting Dwayne Wade Stay In The Game?

Alisha — Wed, 19 Jun 2013 05:52:44 +0000

If you’ve followed the NBA over the past few years, you’ve undoubtedly noticed
it on the court: The typical uniform includes more than just jerseys, shorts and sneakers.
More and more star athletes regularly wrap and compress their limbs and joints with
sleeves and pads. But are all sleeves created equal? HEX technology from Chicago-based
sports medical company McDavid claims to be more flexible and breathable than other pads
and more functional than non-padded sleeves. You see NBA players like Carmelo
Anthony and Chris Bosh wearing them. Dwayne Wade, with his notoriously bad knees (who has
now been diagnosed with chronic arthritis) never seems to be on the court without them.
We talked to Vice President of Operations Terry Fee about what separates HEX from the
pack. “We really invented the category of protective apparel, to
where the players would really accept it. There used to be some garments before that would
have a pad sewn into a garment, but it didn’t stretch, it didn’t have any
conformability, it didn’t have any breathability.” Compression
sleeves are nothing new in the NBA and have been around for decades. McDavid has simply
updated them with a more functional type of protective padding. “Allen
Iverson wearing the compression sleeve? Well, an [ordinary] compression sleeve on your
arm, we think that’s really for show. But what we did was we introduced a padded
aspect to these garments,” Fee said. Unlike the basic one-piece pads
that you may have worn at some point in recreational play, HEX tech underpins more
advanced padded apparel. It provides impact protection in a package that moves and
breathes naturally. The pads are essentially sliced and diced polyethylene foam arranged
into larger protective areas. The dime-sized hexagonal pieces are spaced about 2 mm apart
and laminated to stretch fabric. Instead of one bulging dome, a Hex kneepad is made up of
about 80 small nuggets of foam. McDavid can also vary the thickness of the pad from 3 mm
to 14 mm to offer different blends of performance and impact absorption. “The foam in and of itself does not stretch. But where we get the stretch is that
we put a little bit of space in between each of the foam elements. Because the pieces are
so small, they conform really well. And because there’s a gap in between each of the
pieces of foam, there’s breathing. And because it’s laminated to a stretch
fabric, you have stretch. So you’ve overcome all of the obstacles that an elite
athlete would have when he was wearing a pad before.” McDavid first came
across HEX technology at a 2003 tradeshow, eventually purchasing the worldwide rights from
its British inventor. McDavid integrated the protective technology into its existing
compression apparel and experienced immediate success in college and NFL football. The
Miami Heat (Shaquille
O’Neal was an early adopter) picked it up from the Miami Dolphins, and it’s
become a staple in the NBA ever since.
