Not all mask pads let you replace what wears out without replacing what protects you. And not all pad covers do more than cover. The Davis Lycra/Soft Mesh Pad Sock does both. Part 1 of a two-part system, engineered to protect and designed to be replaced.
The Replaceable Interface
Traditional mask pads are single units. When the fabric wears from sweat, UV exposure, and game-after-game friction, you replace everything.
The Davis two-part system separates what wears out from what protects you. Davis pad socks provide the exterior fabric interface and frame attachment. Davis pad cores (required, sold separately) contain the protective technology: engineered foam layers and HDPE load distribution plates that manage impact. Cores insert into socks and zip closed. When your sock wears from seasons of use, replace it. Not the padding. Want moisture-wicking mesh for August or microfiber suede for early spring? Swap socks in minutes. Same protection, different interface.
Engineered Construction
Most pad covers are fabric sleeves. They sit between your face and the protective foam but contribute nothing to impact management.
Davis Pad Socks are engineered differently. The molded EVA front panel provides structural backing for the HDPE load distribution plates in Davis pad cores. When mask bars take impact, the EVA expands the contact area. The HDPE plate spreads it further. Force distributes before foam compresses. The sock isn't just holding your pads. It's part of how they work.
This Version: Lycra/Soft Mesh
Black Lycra covers the molded EVA front panel, maintaining professional appearance while resisting visible dirt accumulation. Black space mesh on the back provides soft face contact across all temperature ranges. Mesh provides all-season comfort against your skin. When conditions change or preference shifts, swap socks. Same cores, different interface.
Protection engineered as a system. Wear surface designed to be replaced.
