SHELL GRD™ transforms impact protection into a mapped response system based on how force interacts with hand structure. Each sub-technology is assigned to a specific force profile: vertical, angular, or torsional, using tuned geometries, structural pathways, and motion-aligned placement. The system applies defense only in areas where mechanical reinforcement is required. This structure allows energy to be absorbed and
redirected before it transfers into bones, joints, or highstress flex points. Stability zones reduce glove shift during rotational tasks,
and articulated shields maintain movement control under pressure.
SHELL GRD™ maintains consistent performance in environments where force is applied repeatedly from varying directions. Protection is regulated through functional zoning, ensuring each layer contributes to force control, user stability, and mechanical alignment.
The SHELL GRD™ system applies zonal protection across a range of glove configurations, each aligned to distinct impact conditions. While use cases vary, the internal response structure remains consistent; built on force-specific geometry, anatomical alignment, and stabilization under load. Each glove integrates these technologies in mapped locations to absorb direct strikes, redirect angular energy, and maintain control during torsional stress

SHELL GRD™ is Stego’s comprehensive impact protection system designed to absorb, deflect, and distribute blunt force across the back of the hand. It powers gloves used in high-risk environments where crush injuries, tool strikes, and repetitive impact exposure are a constant threat.
More than just TPR on the surface, SHELL GRD™ is a layered architecture with dynamic energy management, anatomical movement zones, and glove stabilization systems built to keep the hand protected without sacrificing comfort or control.
ImpactFlow™ features sculpted TPR geometry that redirects oblique or angled force, reducing the severity of glancing blows and angular tool contact. It’s ideal for dynamic environments like fabrication, vehicle maintenance, pipe threading, and similar tasks where side impact is frequent.
ShockShell™ uses vertical impact absorption zones made from compressive TPR to absorb direct force from tool strikes, heavy drops, or crush points. It’s used in gloves designed for high-risk applications like oil & gas, mining, rigging, and heavy equipment handling where top-down impact is common.
TorqueGuard™ uses a glove stabilization panel to lock fit during twisting or torque-heavy tasks, preventing slippage while using drills, wrenches, or power tools. It’s applied in gloves for mechanical assembly, industrial work, or high-torque environments.
TaskCore™ provides task-mapped TPR coverage aligned with real-world hazard zones, avoiding unnecessary bulk while maintaining protection and comfort. It’s used in performance-tuned gloves that prioritize mobility ideal for lighter applications in warehouses, utilities, carpentry, and similar fields.
FlexSpine™ incorporates articulated, finger-aligned TPR that allows natural finger bending while protecting knuckles and backs of fingers. It’s commonly found in gloves for precision tasks such as panel work, inspections, and fine tool control where both protection and dexterity are critical.
Hand protection remains one of the most overlooked areas of occupational safety, despite the hand being the body’s primary point of contact with work.
