Christmas McDavid: HEX pads to give as gifts
Six sides per cell is the shape that McDavid has chosen for its HEX supports, and the McDavid Christmas selection makes it a key feature with knee pads and sleeves for the player who dives for every lost ball. Knee pads sold in pairs and an articulated model complete a short and targeted choice.
HEX Force and Power Shooter, the padding
The HEX Force knee pads, sold in pairs, and the HEX leg sleeve cover the knee with small hexagonal foam cells attached to a compression fabric. The reversible Power Shooter sleeve, in a camouflage pattern, adds style to the padding. You can see this type of sleeve from NBA courts to club gyms.
Pro, Flexy, Jumpy: knee pads sold in pairs
These knee pads from the Volley range, sold in pairs, are designed for floor receptions. They are suitable for a basketball player who wants a simple protective gear to slip on. The Flex-Force, sold individually, completes the selection.
The articulated model, to be chosen with a pro
The double hinge knee pad frames the knee with two side supports for stability. This isn't a surprise gift: this type of model is chosen with a healthcare professional, depending on the person's knee.
An American brand for protection
McDavid is an American brand specializing in sports protection. Its HEX technology, with cells that follow the body's movements, has become its signature on basketball courts.

HEX sleeve or HEX Force knee pad: what's the difference?
The sleeve covers a larger part of the leg, from the upper calf to the thigh. The knee pad focuses on the knee. Both protect from impacts on the floor. For a more discreet style, the gym models on the Nike Christmas page are an alternative.

How to avoid getting the wrong size?
Measure the leg circumference at the exact spot indicated on the label, often above the kneecap. If between sizes, follow the brand's size guide recommendation. If no measurement is possible, choose a gift without size from the Christmas equipment page.
