Maverik Protective Padding
Project type
Sketches, Prototyping, Testing, Fit Study
Date
2015 to 2021
The development of Maverik’s protective line combined advanced materials research with a strong emphasis on performance, fit, and compliance. A key innovation was the integration of uniquely engineered compression-molded foam components, designed to deliver targeted protection while reducing bulk and improving flexibility. These elements allowed the padding system to contour more naturally to the athlete, enhancing mobility without sacrificing impact absorption.
In parallel, early strategic work was undertaken to address the new NOCSAE commotio cordis standard for chest protection. This included concept exploration, prototyping, and testing approaches aimed at balancing player comfort with the rigorous energy dispersion required by the regulation. The result was a foundation for Maverik’s long-term protective strategy, aligning product innovation with evolving safety standards and athlete needs.
