Monday, February 3rd, 2025

PROVIDENCE, RI, February 03, 2025 – G-Form®, the leader in innovative technology protection, in collaboration with High-Speed Gear® (HSG), proudly announces the successful delivery of 26,469 pairs of SF Wrap Shoulder and Belt Pads to the U.S. Army.

G-Form, renowned for designing and manufacturing protective gear that integrates SmartFlex™ proprietary technology with Department of Defense (DoD)-specific Berry-compliant advanced materials, delivers unmatched mobility, lethality, and protection to enhance warfighter survivability.

“It’s time to revolutionize how luxury in protection is defined,” said David Jackson, Director of Military Programs at G-Form.

High-Speed Gear, a leader in high-quality tactical gear solutions, played a critical role in the success of the SF Wrap Pads, leveraging its expertise in tactical load carriage.

“The collaboration between HSG and G-Form represents a commitment to delivering products that enhance the comfort, endurance, and effectiveness of our warfighters,” said Allison Mitchum, VP of Sales & Marketing at High-Speed Gear. “This innovation ensures that service members can maintain peak performance with reduced fatigue, allowing them to focus on their mission.”

Product Development & Benefits

The SF Wrap Pads were developed following insights from the 2022 Army Expeditionary Warrior Experiment (AEWE), where prototypes received overwhelmingly positive feedback from soldiers. The pads:

• Enhance comfort by reducing energy transfer from plate carriers or rucks to the user

• Feature a 1/4” thin profile, preventing interference with cheek welds during weapon deployment

• Offer cable management with two strapping locations

• Dissipate heat and reduce unnecessary friction

• Provide versatile applications, from over-the-shoulder straps to battle belts, with or without Velcro inner belts

The SF Wrap Pads officially launched with High-Speed Gear in February 2024 and are available for purchase at www.highspeedgear.com.

Product Description

The HSG SF Wrap Pads feature SmartFlex™ non-Newtonian impact solution, which attenuates shock and reduces fatigue by dampening energy transfer. Their versatile design allows for:

• Wide configuration for maximum surface area on large backpack straps

• Slim configuration for minimal bulk on shoulder straps

• Compatibility with most plate carrier shoulder straps, belts, and weapon slings

• Customizable fit, as the material can be trimmed with scissors

• Set of two shipped with One Wrap straps

Part Number: 95SF00OD
