Scientists by trade. Athletes by experience.
We are scientists and engineers - with PhDs, MDs and all sorts of other degrees - who have spent decades developing products to keep people safe when they live, work, and play. We have also been in the game, striving for victory and sometimes suffering the same types of injuries we work to prevent. We bring that passion to our work every single day.
It Started With A Problem We Couldn’t Ignore
Starting a company doesn’t happen overnight. It starts with friendships forged over decades - in the classroom, on the gridiron, and in the laboratory. Add a lifetime of experience that “certified” protection continues to fail athletes. The result, SoftShox.
Move, Perform, and Live
