High Speed Gear (HSG), the company behind the iconic TACO magazine pouch used by the US Marine Corps, has unveiled its latest innovation: the SF Wrap Pads. This revolutionary product promises to redefine user comfort and adaptability within the tactical gear industry.

The SF Wrap Pads leverage G-Form's cutting-edge SmartFlex technology, a non-Newtonian material that stiffens upon impact to absorb shock and dissipate energy. This translates to reduced fatigue and a significant difference in comfort for users carrying heavy loads on plate carriers, belts, and weapon slings.

"Using SmartFlex™, we were able to reduce the amount of transmitted force to the wearer by 76% compared to standard EVA foam and HSGI’s legacy pads,” shared Shawn Connor, VP of Strategic Partnerships for G-Form. Together, G-Form and HSG designed a solution compatible with Shoulders, Crew Served Weapons slings, backpacks, plate carriers, belts, Cable management and more.”

Unlike traditional padding, the SF Wrap Pads boast unmatched versatility. Their modular design allows for multiple configurations, adapting to various equipment and support needs. Additionally, the material can be easily trimmed with scissors for a truly customized fit. Whether paired with HSG's popular Apex Slings, Core Plate Carriers, or Operator Belts, the SF Wrap Pads offer a universal solution for enhanced comfort and performance in any tactical setting.

“Conventional load carriage padding options have been limiting comfort for users for decades. They’ve been dealing with impact, fatigue, and discomfort and we knew this had to change,” said Dave Jackson, Director of Government Sales at High Speed Gear Products Group. “High Speed Gear has developed the game-changing, SF Wrap Pads with the use of technology from G-Form that brings users a thin, lightweight, comfortable, impact absorbing system.”

One of the standout features is the SmartFlex Non-Newtonian Impact Additive. This innovative technology significantly reduces fatigue by effectively attenuating shock and energy transfer, ensuring optimal comfort and protection for the user.

They are compatible with most gear components, fitting seamlessly with plate carrier shoulder straps, belts, and weapon slings. Furthermore, the material can be trimmed for personalized adjustments, offering a customizable fit tailored to the user’s needs.

The HSG SF Wrap Pads are designed to accommodate straps up to 2.5 inches wide, ensuring versatility across different gear sizes. They are made from a water-resistant closed-cell material that does not absorb water, maintaining durability and reliability in various environments.

As a testament to their quality, these wrap pads are proudly made in the USA and are Berry Amendment Compliant, meeting high-quality and compliance standards.

The unveiling of the SF Wrap Pads is a testament to High Speed Gear and G-Form’s commitment to delivering innovative, top-tier products that transform the user experience in the field. These products can be purchased across the HSG Authorized Dealer network and on their official website.
