What is HEX®? Is it something I should be using?
HEX® Technology is superior, closed cell foam padding, uniquely and permanently bonded to our high quality hDc™ moisture management fabric. This provides superior protection and durability for athletes involved in contact or collision sports.
What's the difference between HEX® and TEFLX® (HEX TUF®) protection?
Both HEX® and TEFLX® provide top-rated protection against contact. Hex is the original integrated protective apparel featuring our patented technology (which is also built into TEFLX®). The primary difference is durability. HEX® is designed to perform best during repeated body-to-body contact.

TEFLX® (or HEX TUF®) is at its best during frequent body-to-hard-and-court-surface contact in sports such as Basketball or Volleyball. TEFLX® is resistant to burning, shearing and tearing and is also an excellent choice for youth athletes who hit the floor regularly. HEX® and TEFLX® are available in many forms, including leg sleeves (6446X) and versatile elbow/knee/shin pads (6440X). Next question.

You can be athletic for your entire life, but your gear can't be.

At McDavid, our return policy is liberal, generous and tolerant, but it does have its limits! We understand that putting a specific time limit on all returns is not reasonable, as usage and seasons vary greatly. Plus, we realize that everyone's idea of reasonable wear and tear also varies.

If our gear fails to deliver, we will fully stand behind that product. If it fails to deliver on its one thousand and first wearing, we would consider that  - reasonable wear and tear. Rather than shutting the door on returns after 30 days, we prefer to be flexible and judge each situation individually.
