Black Friday McDavid : protective gear
Protecting a knee isn't always the same, and the Black Friday McDavid meets all three needs: padded HEX knee pads for shock absorption, articulated knee pads, and ankle supports for stability, compression sleeves for arms and legs.
Leading protections in basketball and volley.
Shocks, support, compression
This page brings together the discounted McDavid protective gear during the event. Three categories: shock protection, joint support, compression.
HEX: the hexagon that absorbs
The HEX technology is the hallmark of McDavid: small hexagonal foam cells, glued onto a compression fabric.
These hexagons distribute the energy of a shock over a larger area and move with the body without hindering it. They can be found on knee pads and the sleeves for legs and arms, which are popular among basketball players.
Hinged supports and Stealth ankle braces
For support, McDavid offers hinged knee braces, either single or double, which limit the knee's sideways movements. The ankle braces, like the Stealth, stabilize the ankle during landings and support.
A specialist, worn up to the NBA
McDavid is an American brand specialising in sports protection. Its HEX sleeves are worn all the way to the NBA.
Its range goes from simple compression to articulated support. You choose based on your actual needs.

Frequently asked questions
Is there a cheaper HEX sleeve here?
Yes, discounted HEX sleeves and knee pads are on this page during Black Friday. Check if they are sold individually or in pairs.
HEX or articulated?
The HEX protects from shocks and offers some support. The articulated type stabilises the knee, for example after a sprain. For support after an injury, consult a healthcare professional.
Does an ankle brace prevent sprains?
It limits extreme movements of the ankle and reduces the risk of recurrence. It complements a strengthening regimen, but does not replace it.
What size sleeve should I get?
Measure your thigh or arm circumference at the location indicated in the size guide. The sleeve should fit snugly without leaving any marks.
How do I wash a HEX protection?
Cold water, by hand or in the washing machine on a delicate cycle, without tumble drying. Heat may detach the cells from the fabric.
