Stealth Cleat and Phantom 2: the ankle supports McDavid

The Stealth Cleat provides ankle support, in black. The Phantom 2 offers firmer support, sought after by players with fragile ankles. They are worn in a classic indoor shoe.

Hex Sleeves and Power Shooter

The Hex leg sleeve uses the same foam on the calf and shin, in white or black. More eye-catching, the Hex Power Shooter are reversible: solid colour one day, printed the next, with patterns camouflage, galaxy, graffiti or tie and dye.

The padded short Hex Wrap Around

White or black, the Hex Wrap Around protects hips and upper thighs with its pads. Worn under the game shorts, it absorbs impacts from side dives.

Finding your size McDavid

Each model has its own size chart: knee measurement for the Hex Force, shoe size or ankle measurement for the ankle supports, thigh measurement for the shorts. A well-fitted protection stays in place without slipping. An ankle support after a sprain should be chosen with a healthcare professional.

McDavid cuts closed-cell foam into hexagons and attaches it to a breathable fabric. It absorbs shocks while remaining flexible. It's found on knee pads, sleeves and shorts.

Which McDavid ankle support to choose?

The Stealth Cleat provides light support, the Phantom 2 offers enhanced support. The choice depends on your ankle and history. After an injury, seek advice from a healthcare professional.

Does the Hex Wrap Around replace the game shorts?

No, it slides underneath, like a padded undershort. Fitted, it stays in place during slides. Choose it snug to prevent it from riding up.
