SHOCKtec Gel® and SHOCKtec Air2Gel® products are not like any gel you have seen before... and they are not foams. They are actually hybrid polyurethane elastomers (viscoelastic dry polymers). SHOCKtec Air2Gel® is the only Air-Frothed Elastomer Gel in the world. These unique materials have few, if any equals with respect to impact protection, comfort, durability and shock absorption.

Key Benefits : Superior Shock Absorption

15 times the shock absorption capabilities of the leading foam padding. Dissipates impact throughout the entire pad evenly, resulting in a minimal amount of force impacting a specific area. Over 40 NASCAR drivers including Winston Cup champions Jeff Gordon, Tony Stewart and Bill Elliot have relied on this superior padding in their racing seats, steering wheels, harnesses and insoles to protect them from extreme shock and vibration common to driving at speeds close to 200 mph.
 

Key Benefits : Resiliency & Energy Return

Will not fully compress or bottom-out. After initial impact, it instantly recovers and readies for the next impact…. Over and over again.

Because SHOCKtec® never fully compresses, the object striking the padding will never make contact with the object being protected. The ability of this superior padding to return to its original shape immediately after deformation is second to none. Poor compression and energy return have been the greatest drawbacks to conventional gel or foam padding products. In this case, SHOCKtec® excels where most others cannot even survive.
 

Key Benefits : Lightweight & Flexibility

A little goes a long way… Light and flexible, without sacrificing protection. SHOCKtec Air2Gel® is 80% lighter than typical gel padding.

SHOCKtec® is lighter than most comparable gels and foams of similar size and density. Each of the products conforms easily to your body allowing for freedom of movement that is far superior to common padding products. It does not absorb any fluids such as water or sweat, so the weight of the pad will not increase throughout activity.

Key Benefits : Comfort

No other padding feels as good against the skin.

SHOCKtec® properties prevent friction between the padding and human skin. This helps prevent damage to tissue and nerves that cause blisters or sores. this superior product distributes weight evenly, is not a stiff material, and dampens vibration resulting in greater cushioning and comfort. Users will experience a Flotation Effect (no hard-spots) as they sit on the padding. For years, this padding has been used by medical professionals to reduce bedsores and improve patient comfort.
 

Key Benefits : Durability & Safety

General Motors tested it, they tried to destroy it… they tried… but couldn’t!

SHOCKtec® has greater shear-strength than comparable foams that typically breakdown rapidly and lose material effectiveness. No other padding will last longer and still do its job. Unlike traditional gel products, this product has a load-carrying ability second to none, and is even used to support heavy industrial machines.

Products are not adversely affected by temperatures in the –40 to 212 degree F. However, it is best to store at ambient room temperature.
