About us

McDavid designs sports medicine, sports protection, and performance apparel for active people and athletes. We are relentless in our pursuit of preventing injuries and enhancing performance. Our story began in 1969 when Dr. Robert F. McDavid Jr., the company's namesake and founder emeritus, created the widely used protective knee brace for football.

McDavid also has a global story to tell - Our goal remains to continue our legacy of edge products that inspire confidence and help athletes of every level achieve their potential.

At McDavid, we're convinced that sport can change people. We are certain that fair play and hard work bring integrity to any game.

We know people want to be smart about the way they train, compete and live. We know that substance is cool and never goes out of style. We believe a company can possess a soul. We celebrate athleticism without cynicism. We tend to go for it on fourth down.
