What makes PolyShields better than traditional foams and gels?
No other gear on the planet offers the same level of protection PolyShields provide. Our unique viscoelastic polymer underwent years of scientific testing and development before we found a precise formula that made it the proprietary, patented solution it is today. Here are a few key differentiators between PolyShields and traditional foams and gels:
- PolyShields dissipate up to 90% of energy upon impact – that’s 40% more than any of our competitors.
- Our gear is reusable, weatherproof and machine washable, eliminating the need for costly replacements.
- Gels and foams can be up to three inches thick — our solution is just 1/4-inch thick.
- PolyShields can be worn comfortably under any jersey, uniform or tactical vest, while other brands only fit under certain apparel.

Is my gear reusable even after a strong impact?
Yes. PolyShields are built to withstand everything from armor-piercing ammo and attacks to athletic tackles, falls and hits. It is soft and fluid-like at rest, but immediately stiffens into a durable solid the second it takes an impact. Then, it returns to its original state for optimal comfort and mobility.
How do I care for my gear?
Care is easy. Just toss it in the washer on cold, then let it air dry. DO NOT BLEACH OR MACHINE DRY. Failure to follow these instructions may result in deterioration of the garment. Your warranty will be voided if these instructions are not followed.
Is Zoombang gear available at any retail stores?
Zoombang is not currently available for purchase at any retail stores. However, partner brands like Marshawn Lynch’s BEAST MODE® use PolyShields in their products. You can find his apparel line at Hibbett Sports stores nationwide.
Why does my Zoombang garment feel heavier than other protective apparel?
When you first unbag your product, you may notice it feels a bit heavier than the protective gear you’re used to. PolyShields’ viscoelastic polymer is inherently denser than gel or foam, but it also repels moisture better and provides superior protection so you exert less energy.
In other words, you won’t have to wear your sweat. The gear won’t take on a single ounce as you perform or play. And despite its slightly heavier weight, it’s also much thinner and more flexible than competitor products.
Do you create custom gear?
Yes. PolyShields have hundreds of potential applications, and we’ll work with you to find the right custom solutions for your enterprise-level needs. If you have an idea for a unique product, reach out to our team!
