In the world of Mixed Martial Arts, the life span of athletic gear is greatly diminished because it is constantly saturated with perspiration. Traditional storage devices such as bags create odor and spread bacteria. Geartac was created to eliminate odor and halt the spread of bacteria, dramatically increasing the durability of sporting gear.
Geartac is a storage device that allows athletes to suspend and store the gear used in their sport. The gear could consist of anything from boxing gloves to skateboarding knee pads. Geartacs' multifunctional de-sign gives you the ability to suspend your gear from a completely portable utility belt. The belt is made from 2″ velcro strapping which allows the gear to be attached to the strap using the velcro straps on the gear to hang and store or to just air out and dry. Its' unique suspension system consists of a three way buckle which allows you to hang it anywhere on the go. The strap has a snap hook and a D-ring enclosure which allows it to be clipped to any hook, eyebolt, or horizontal bar. Whether you're at home, the gym, the rink or the ring, Geartac hangs your equipment in one compact space and permits it to vent freely while air drying to help prevent the spread of bacteria. Geartac is a device that allows you to un-clip and transport your gear in one bundle to your next event because of the velcro hook and loop system.
