Protective Gear Fit System
A protective gear fit-system reference for products where adjustment, comfort, protective structure, and stable integration must be balanced.
Use case and platform direction.
A product-format reference for discussing fit intent, platform choice, and the first sampling questions.
Best for
- Protective pads
- Performance gear
- Custom equipment
Platform direction
L10 operation mode.
L10 is shown as the primary platform direction for this reference. Final operation follows the platform selected during product integration.
- Turn for tighten
- Turn back for release
What this reference should solve.
The core requirements that should stay visible before detailed component work begins.
Fit around protection
A protective gear reference where adjustment must work around padding, flex points, and impact-zone requirements.
Custom geometry
Dial placement and lace paths are adapted to the product geometry instead of treating the gear as a standard shoe closure.
A common format for early technical review.
Stable fit around protective structure without interfering with impact zones
L10 for balanced programs · M10 for structure-heavy applications
Robust platform character · 196 N tensile load · expanded CS/TX lace compatibility
Comfort, protection, lace clearance, and access
Questions to resolve before sampling.
Avoid lace paths that conflict with padding, flex points, or impact zones.
Use early mockups to test whether adjustment is intuitive in real use.
Coordinate platform choice with the product's protection and durability targets.
