TECHNOLOGY GLOSSARY

NEO GEL

New gel technology increases absorption and dissipation of impact energy. Reduces shock and user fatigue.

GEL FUSION

Integrated Gel materials are fused in place during a controlled lamination or injection process to ensure uniform dissipation of impact energy.

SLV3

Soft and supple like natural leather with a full leather grain finish. High performance structure which reduces odour and performs better for longer.

THERMALITE THREE (T3)

Strong lightweight material, designed with a multi-directional outer layer for reduced heat absorption and increased moisture evaporation.

ATMOSPHERE

Integrated airflow technology combining three-dimensional moisture dissipating materials and air circulatory channels to  help conduct heat and moisture away from the body.

AMARA

Japanese synthetic suede material made from bundles of super fine fibres locked together with polyurethane resin. Amara offers the same composition, look and feel as natural leather, but with better durability and air permeability.

PREMIUM LEATHER

Carefully selected leather hides chosen for their suppleness and treated under special tanning processes to meet strict STING quality standards. Designed to last longer and outperform standard leathers.

HI FLOW CORE

Injection moulding produces a single weighted mould under heat allowing for accurate weight distribution, increased impact absorption and maximum protection. Ideal for sparring, high performance training and competition.

HD CUP

Promotes correct hand positioning to absorb shock and reduce jarring on elbows

and shoulders.

 

DUAL CORE

Carefully selected materials bonded under lamination to promote maximum energy absorption. Increases longevity of the inner core while maintaining required weight characteristics.

QUAD CORE

Four ply material lamination process fuses each material to produce a singular structure. As energy is transferred on impact each layer acts to cancel, absorb and dissipate energy waves to reduce user fatigue and minimise injury.

KEVLAR

Light weight high strength material that is resistant to corrosion and abrasion. Kevlar helps minimise vibration and can withstand high levels of distortion without breaking.

 

COMFORTLINE

Patented 3D floating glove liner technology designed to increase comfort through unique cushioning  finished in an ultra-soft top layer.

 

SPORTLINE

Utilises our patented 3D floating glove liner technology with an added moisture protection barrier to increase durability. Finished with an Atmosphere top layer for improved airflow and moisture management.

 

SPORTLINE PLUS

All the benefits of Sportline with double the moisture protection qualities helping protect the inner core. Finished in high performance memory material that moulds to your hand throughout training.

 

SAS / SAS PLUS (SHOCK ABSORBANC SYSTEM)

Our SAS Shock Absorbance System incorporates an integrated strike energy management layer to help dissipate impact energy and reduce fatigue. SAS Plus offers an increased density and absorption for  even more performance.

 

Aniline Leather

Top grain leather treated with a special pigment to ensure colour consistency, durability and a clear water-based topcoat for additional protection.

 

Microsuede

Knitted fabric created with fibres over a hundred times finer than human hair creating a tightly woven dense fabric which looks like suede leather yet outperforms by being stronger, softer and easier to clean.

 

GRIP FLEX

Finger expansion joints designed to safely absorb glove flex and strengthen glove components under load as the hand expands and contracts during training.

 

EASY WASH

Specially treated washable leather which can be air-dried to maintain suppleness and repel moisture.

 

COOL WEAVE

A 4-way woven material with airflow and moisture management properties for maximum comfort. Expands and contracts with your hand during training to maintain ideal fit and glove stability.

 

DIAMOND COOL WEAVE

All the benefits of Cool Weave with a 3D hook and rod construction . Available in HD and Lite versions.
