Not all mask pads manage impact the same way. And none of them let you replace what wears out without replacing what protects you. The Tango2 does both.

The First Modular Mask Pad System

Tango2 pad cores operate as a two-part system. These cores contain the protective technology: engineered foam layers that manage impact. They insert into Davis Pad Socks (required, sold separately), which provide the exterior fabric interface and frame attachment. When your pad sock wears from seasons of use, replace it. Not the padding. Want to change colors? Swap socks. Want moisture-wicking performance for August or microfiber suede for early spring? Change materials in minutes. Same protection, different interface.

Impedance-Matched Energy Management

Most traditional dual-layer pads fail through poor material selection. Stiff EVA does all the work until it bottoms out, then transfers remaining force directly to you. The abrupt transition between mismatched materials creates a jarring spike.

The Tango2 succeeds through deliberate impedance matching. Medium-firm EVA at the frame interface provides structural stability and initial force spreading. Medium-density VPU at 45 kg/m³ continues the deceleration timeline with controlled compression that conventional open-cell foams can't achieve. The transition from EVA to VPU allows smooth force transmission without the spike that occurs when materials with vastly different densities meet. A 1mm HDPE load distribution plate flexes under mask bar impact, transforming narrow 5-6mm pressure lines into broader compression zones. Force spreads before foam compresses.

Protection engineered as a system. Convenience built in from the start.

Stay in the game. Every game. All season.

Warranty

This product comes with a 6-month limited warranty covering manufacturing defects in workmanship and materials. This includes defects that may not be immediately apparent but become evident through normal use within the warranty period. Manufacturing defects are flaws in construction that cause premature failure during normal use, such as seams splitting, stitching unraveling, or materials failing without excessive stress.

This warranty applies to the original purchaser with proof of purchase. Davis products are designed for everyday performance, provided care instructions are followed carefully. If a manufacturing defect appears within the warranty period, Davis will repair or replace the product at our discretion. For minor defects (such as loose buttons or small repairs), Davis may choose to issue a store credit instead. Normal wear and tear, misuse, accidents, and alterations are not covered under this warranty.

⚠️ Safety Information

Ambient Temperature Sensitive

This product uses viscoelastic foam technologies that are temperature sensitive. Below 65°F ambient temperature, these materials become increasingly rigid and lose their impact-absorbing properties. In this state, the progressive compression system cannot function as designed, potentially resulting in higher impact forces being transmitted through the padding. For your safety and optimal protection performance, do not uses the these pad cores when air temperatures drops below 60°F. For ambient temperatures below 65°F consider the Davis D3O® Cloud4 Umpire Mask Pad Cores.

Storage

For longest product life, do not store pad cores in freezing temperatures. For end of season or long-term storage, store cores at room temperature.

Replacement

Replace pad cores if the tricot polyester cover is worn through or damaged. For best performance, replace cores every 3-6 years depending on frequency of use, storage conditions, and impact exposure.
