Cramer High Performance Gear™ is designed to be Athletic Trainer Tough (AT Tough™). Every buckle, zipper, and fabric choice is meticulously selected and then analyzed after rigorous lab testing. After it’s built, we take it to the field and court to make sure it can handle real-world athletic training abuse. Only then do we put the High Performance Gear™ badge on it.
