StingFree gear is based around a 21st century padding technology using our patented, multilayer composite. Its main function is to decrease the effect of impact energy on the human body.

StingFree padding technology works like a bulletproof vest, in the ability of the fiber layer (ballistic fiber) to dissipate or spread the impact energy out over a wide area.

A ballistic vest and our padding composite perform like a soccer ball striking a net. The energy of the soccer ball’s impact is spread over the entire net, dissipating the energy and bringing the ball to a slow stop.


A soccer net is formed by many long lengths of fiber, interlaced with each other and fastened to the goal frame. When the ball strikes the net, it pushes back on the fibers at that particular point. The fibers are interconnected and extend from one side of the frame to the other; so the ball’s energy is spread from the point of impact over a wide area. This allows the whole net to work together to absorb the impact energy.

In the Sting Free composite padding, after the impact energy has been dispersed and decelerated by the fiber layer, the energy will be absorbed and dampened by the elastomer layers.

The padding can take many forms and designs, depending on the intended use of the pad:

Some will be used in baseball gloves to prevent the painful sting of the ball striking the pocket of the mitt at high speed.

Some will be very light weight, thin and flexible and have the ability to dissipate the energy of a paintball traveling at 300 (mph) miles per hour or the impact of a lacrosse stick. It can be used to protect any part of the body.

Some will be designed for the military and law enforcement to absorb the impact of a blunt trauma or a fall to the ground.

Some are being design into anti-impact and anti-vibratory mounts for sporting equipment like skis, skateboards and cycle seats.

This groundbreaking technology can be designed and used for any situation in which painful dangerous impact energy is the primary problem.

The new StingFree composite padding has the ability to spread the impact energy out over a large area, so that the force isn't felt too intensely in any one spot.
