Experience ultimate comfort and protection with Gamepatch’s groundbreaking, body-molding shin guards – the future of football gear.
Gamepatch has made a groundbreaking contribution to football gear with its innovative shin guards featuring Body Adjust Technology. Unlike traditional guards made of hard plastic, Gamepatch uses a body-adjustable foam that molds to the player’s shin during warm-ups. This creates a second-skin fit that provides comfort and unrestricted movement without sacrificing safety. Designed to meet the rigorous EN 13061 safety standard, the product combines high performance with premium adaptability.
Gamepatch CEO Andis Blinds emphasizes the importance of this innovation: “For a young sports brand like Gamepatch, receiving the ISPO Award proves that our innovations are truly valued. Our unique Body Adjust Technology works, and it shows we're on the right path as a company.” The award not only highlights the product’s functionality but also underscores its potential to set a new industry standard for football protective gear.
Created in collaboration with professional football players, the shin guards have undergone extensive testing to ensure optimal performance. Available in two sizes and three colors, the product provides players with customization options tailored to their needs. Gamepatch’s mission is to deliver protection without compromise, redefining what athletes can expect from their gear.
Gamepatch’s shin guards offer distinct advantages for both players and retail partners. For athletes, the Body Adjust Technology ensures an unparalleled fit that adapts to their shin’s anatomy, significantly enhancing comfort and protection. This adaptability minimizes the risk of injury while maintaining complete freedom of movement, allowing players to perform at their best. By eliminating hard materials like plastic, Gamepatch sets a new precedent for player-focused design in football gear.
The product is also a boon for retailers and distributors. Manufactured entirely in Europe, the shin guards guarantee consistent quality thanks to adherence to the ISO 9001 Quality Management System. “Quality is at the heart of everything we do,” says Blinds. “We source only the finest materials, ensuring every product meets our high standards.” Retailers benefit from fast delivery, reliable product availability, and a robust selection of marketing materials. Gamepatch’s modern, trend-driven approach enhances its appeal to a broad range of customers.
By offering a high-quality product that combines innovation with practical benefits, Gamepatch aims to strengthen its partnerships with sports retailers. The award-winning shin guards not only cater to the needs of professional players but also provide a compelling proposition for stores seeking cutting-edge football equipment.
Gamepatch’s ISPO Award marks an important milestone for the company, validating its efforts to innovate in the sports equipment market. “We’re honored by ISPO’s recognition and look forward to the opportunities this award will bring,” says Blinds. With its focus on quality, performance, and customer satisfaction, Gamepatch is well-positioned to lead the way in redefining football protective gear for players and retailers alike.
The Watusi G2 Expedition Suit by BLACKYAK is designed for durability and a long service life, offering perfect warmth without bulk. The special construction and materials used ensure lightness and freedom of movement under the toughest conditions.
This high-performance expedition suit is part of BLACKYAK's TheOne collection. Designed for mountaineering, the line is deliberately built to last and is suitable for multiple expeditions. To achieve this, BLACKYAK uses highly functional materials that have been tested by athletes in extreme conditions.
This one-piece suit has been developed for extreme altitudes. Its streamlined design ensures optimal mobility and aerodynamics. It is filled with 800 fill power RDS-certified down to ensure excellent warmth with minimal weight. Additionally, the down has been treated with the water-repellent NIKWAX® finish to prevent clumping and loss of loft when wet, ensuring full warmth even in the harshest conditions. The YAK BOX-WALL™ construction of the down chambers prevents cold spots and ensures even heat distribution without taking up a lot of volume. In areas at risk of moisture, such as under the arms, G-loft SI synthetic insulation guarantees maximum warmth without adding bulk.
The suit has an adjustable vest with practical pockets and a hydration bladder integrated into it, so that as much equipment as possible can be stowed close to the body. Thanks to the vest, the outer jacket can also be removed at any time; holders on the waistband allow the sleeves to be attached so that they do not interfere or drag on the ground. The rainbow zipper at the back is also practical.
The jacket is made of robust Nylon66 and CORDURA® ripstop. KEVLAR® reinforcements at points subject to particular wear and tear offer exceptional durability and protection. Strategically placed waterproof zones on the hood, collar and arms offer critical weather resistance without additional volume. Extra features include a helmet-compatible hood, two-way zippers, adjustable fit, side leg zippers, magnetic closures, reinforced gaiters and a RECCO reflector.
This unisex suit has been designed for demanding mountaineers, with rigorous field testing and advanced material selection for a lifespan of more than ten years. It will be available from September 2025.
In team sports such as football or rugby, things can get a bit rough. To protect the female breast against injuries, BettHer has developed the Bra Antishock+ with built-in shock absorption.
Especially in team sports such as football, handball or rugby, there are always collisions between players or the ball is often controlled with the chest. To protect the sensitive breast tissue from impact, BettHer has developed a sports bra that cushions these impacts.
The BettHer Bra Antishock+ features patented thermoplastic gel technology for superior shock absorption and protection during high-impact activities. This technology provides twice as much protection as conventional bras. The material absorbs and dissipates shocks and impacts, thus protecting the breast tissue from trauma. These shock-absorbing properties do not decrease and remain even after extensive use. The technology is supported by a high-performance compression material that provides firm support and reduces the movement and strain on the chest during high-impact activities. This provides additional protection for the breast tissue and minimises the risk of injury.
A range of well-thought-out details ensure comfort: the material of the bra is designed to allow maximum air circulation and keep athletes cool and dry even during intense physical exertion. This reduces perspiration and prevents irritation, promoting comfort throughout the workout. Adjustable straps allow for a personalised fit. The bra also features flat, smooth seams that reduce the risk of chafing and irritation, ensuring that athletes can move freely and without discomfort.
The BettHer Bra Antishock+ will be launched in December 2024/January 2025.
