Protection for Humans. Not Crash Test Dummies

SoftShox is a safety technology company setting a new standard of protection, so people can live, work, and play with confidence and control.

SoftShox creates Adaptive Impact Protection that helps manage real-world impacts—not just the laboratory conditions safety products are built to pass.

Adaptive Impact Protection

A New Catagory

Our state-of-the-art wearable hydraulic pads adapt and respond continuously to changing impacts rather than optimizing for a single test scenario.

Science Forward.

Built by doctors and scientists with decades of brain injury expertise. Invented in Stanford, advanced through NIH-supported research.

Researched, tested and validated.
