McDavid designs and sells sports medicine, sports protection, and performance apparel for active people and athletes. We are highly motivated in our mission to prevent injuries and enhance performance.
The story of McDavid began in 1969 when Dr. Robert F. McDavid Jr., the company’s namesake and founding emeritus, developed the first widely used protective knee brace for football. After a period of grassroots growth, a company was established in 1980 as McDavid Knee Guard Inc.
Today, McDavid products top the recommendation lists of professional athletes, sports medicine professionals, and athletic trainers. From our research-based ankle braces to compression shorts with patented technology, McDavid products are designed to meet both the broad range and specific needs of professional and everyday athletes across a variety of sports.
McDavid also has a global story to tell—from our headquarters in Southern California and our subsidiaries in Canada, Japan, and Europe to our growing worldwide distribution. Our goal remains to continue our legacy of advanced products that inspire confidence and help athletes of all levels reach their potential.
