Sample first

Every new design is made as a sample and approved by you before bulk production. Your approved sample becomes the reference for checking the order.

How sampling works

How custom headgear is made

Pads and protectors are layered foam cores wrapped in a stitched outer, with straps and handles built to take repeated impact.

  1. Specification

    Shape, size, foam thickness, outer material, strap layout and branding are agreed in writing.

  2. Cutting

    Outer panels are cut from leather, PU or vinyl; foam layers are cut to the pad's shape.

  3. Foam core

    High-density and softer foams are laminated into the core so the pad absorbs strikes without bottoming out.

  4. Branding

    Logos and target marks are printed, embossed or embroidered on the outer panels.

  5. Stitching and binding

    The outer is stitched around the core, edges are bound, and straps, buckles, handles or hook-and-loop closures are reinforced and sewn in.

  6. Inspection and packing

    Seams, strap strength, fit and branding are checked against the approved sample before packing.

Your written specification and approved sample decide the exact build. How all our gear is made
