Short Description
The McDavid 6440 HEX Knee/Elbow/Shin Pads deliver lightweight, 9mm impact protection using patented Hex™ Technology. Versatile, breathable, and sold in a pair. Guaranteed to keep you cool and dry.
The McDavid HEX Knee/Elbow/Shin Pads Pair is the industry's most popular and versatile protective sports pad. Featuring patented 9mm Hex™ Technology, this pad delivers powerful, lightweight impact absorption in a flexible design that contours perfectly to the knee, elbow, or shin.
The McDavid 6440 utilizes a durable nylon/spandex compression sleeve with a dense grid pattern, allowing the pad to remain form-fitting around both large muscles and tight joints. The hexagonal pad design not only absorbs blows but provides reliable protection against scrapes, turf burns, and abrasions. This pad is ideal for serious athletic use, work activities, and is proudly Made in the U.S. under high quality control standards.
Technical Authority: How HEX™ Technology Works
The HEX system is a kinetic energy dispersion technology. The superior, closed-cell foam is cut into individual hexagonal cells that operate independently. Upon impact, the force is instantly spread laterally across the entire padding area, rather than concentrating in one spot. This ensures maximum impact absorption with minimal, 9mm thickness.
