PRODUCTS

What is Novamed? Is it something I should be using?

Hex Technology is superior, closed cell foam padding, uniquely and permanently bonded to our high quality hDc moisture management fabric. This provides superior protection and durability for athletes involved in contact or collision sports.

What’s the difference between Novamed protection?

Both Novamed provide top-rated protection against contact. Hex is the original integrated protective apparel featuring our patented technology (which is also built into Novamed). The primary difference is durability. Hex is designed to perform best during repeated body-to-body contact.

Novamed is at its best during frequent body-to-hard-and-court-surface contact. Novamed is resistant to burning, shearing and tearing and is also an excellent choice for youth athletes who hit the floor regularly. Novamed are available in many forms, including leg sleeves (6446X) and versatile elbow/knee/shin pads (6440X).

CARE INSTRUCTIONS

How should I clean Novamed SportMed™ items?

RETURNS

How do I return or exchange a product?

If you are not pleased with your merchandise for reasons pertaining to size, fit or quality defects, you may return the product within 30 days of receipt for a refund.

How long does it take to process my return?

A credit will be issued to your credit card within 1 of receipt of the returned product.

You can be athletic for your entire life, but your gear can’t be.

At Novamed, our return policy is liberal, generous and tolerant, but it does have its limits! We understand that putting a specific time limit on all returns is not reasonable, as usage and seasons vary greatly. Plus, we realize that everyone’s idea of “reasonable wear and tear” also varies.

If our gear fails to deliver, we will fully stand behind that product. If it fails to deliver on its one thousand and first wearing, we would consider that “reasonable wear and tear.” Rather than shutting the door on returns after 30 days, we prefer to be flexible and judge each situation individually.
