About G8RTechTM
G8RTech: Our Story and Our People
Not Just Gear. A Game-Changer.
Our Origin Story
G8RTech was founded on a deeply personal mission. After his brother, FJ, saw his football career cut short by a severe concussion, founder and CEO Carter Hogg witnessed firsthand the challenging recovery that followed. This experience motivated Carter to thoroughly study the causes of concussions and develop effective preventative solutions.
At just 19 years old, Carter created G8RSkin, a balaclava that can be worn under a helmet or as a standalone layer. The product has shown promising results in rigorous testing at multiple independent helmet laboratories, directly addressing one of the most critical health concerns in sports today: concussions.

A Message from Our CEO
We here at G8RTechTM are sports lovers—former and current athletes—who want people to enjoy the same great experiences we have had with sports. We see no better way to do this than to allay the concerns of parents and players alike, allowing them to focus not on fear but on the joys of athletics. So, we endeavor to innovate protective equipment by reimagining and inventing systems that keep players safe, allowing them to stay on the field while enhancing their athletic performance.
Our first product goes after that terrifying giant we call concussions. G8RTechTM is an innovation in the world of sports, turning a simple shiesty into a device that can reduce the concussion-causing force from collisions. It is lightweight, flexible and, most importantly, quantitatively effective. Our data-driven approach has allowed us to measure exactly how the G8RTechTM Shiesty reduces the risk of injury, making it easier to improve and allowing us to achieve the best possible results.
We know how detrimental concussions can be to the lives of athletes; we have seen firsthand how our friends and family members have dealt with both the short-term and long-term effects of concussions. With that, we strive to protect people from experiencing those same struggles.
Warmly,
Carter Hogg
