SOFT GOODS & INTEGRATED GOODS
LET’S MAKE YOUR VISION A REALITY!
From innovating and designing cut and sew textiles, circular knit, flat knit, to welded non-wovens, we have deep expertise in a wide array of substrates and the combination of soft and hard substrates in manufacturing. With our decades of expertise in a wide range of apparel, compression, bras, sports bras, sports, medical, and work wear our knowledge and deep relationships with domestic and international vendors helps our clients realize product solutions.
Innovation in wearables is essential as material science and technology continue to evolve elevating the possibilities of soft goods and integrated soft goods. Because these products are worn close to the skin, are made of soft, flexible materials such as textiles, fabrics, and other flexible materials, it is imperative that this expertise is coupled with knowledge of how the body moves. Our deep understanding of anthropometry, size & fit, and bio-mechanics enables the form factory of each clothing, accessory, and other products that incorporate advanced technologies such as sensors, microprocessors, and other electronic components to function and perform successfully.
Our soft goods design process includes conceptualization, developing specifications, virtual prototypes, physical prototype rounds, sourcing suppliers and materials, development, providing manufacturing support through production, and testing. Our in-depth and customizable testing in our lab, fit testing, user testing, and wear testing provides us early risk detection in the proto round process and a look into the future of how a product will perform long term We leverage this distinctive capability along with our expertise in other domains to seamlessly integrate soft goods design with hard components.

WEARABLE DEVICE DEVELOPMENT
In today's ever-evolving technological landscape, wearables have emerged as groundbreaking tools with remarkable potential. These innovative devices are creating a profound impact across diverse industries, their influence extending far beyond merely being fashion accessories. Wearables are now being utilized for a variety of essential purposes, including protection, data collection, and enhancing overall user experiences.
The development of interdisciplinary wearables necessitates a unique blend of specialized expertise. This expertise encompasses a wide range of fields, such as soft textiles, hard goods, electrical components, conductive yarns, construction, and even the meticulous consideration of how the wearable fits on the human body. Such a comprehensive approach ensures the creation of superior wearable devices that seamlessly integrate into the lives of individuals across various contexts.
At The Squad Nation, we firmly believe in the power of human-centered design. Recognizing that the user should always be at the core of any technological advancement, we strive to create wearables that not only satisfy the demands of our clients but also provide users with enhanced experiences and functionality. Our goal is to support our clients in fostering innovative approaches within the wearable technology domain, ensuring that their products are truly user-oriented and serve the evolving needs of the market.
In today's dynamic landscape, wearables have proven to be invaluable tools across a wide range of industries. In the realm of protection, wearables have revolutionized the way workers in hazardous environments maintain their well-being. From smart helmets detecting unsafe conditions to wearable sensors monitoring air quality, these devices enable workers to identify potential risks and ensure their safety in real-time.
Moreover, wearables have transformed the field of data collection, enabling organizations to gather valuable insights effortlessly. Whether it's fitness trackers monitoring personal health metrics, smartwatches keeping track of vital signs for medical professionals, or even GPS-enabled wearables assisting in disaster management, these devices have become the go-to solution for generating accurate and insightful data.
Beyond protection and data collection, the impact of wearables on enhancing user experiences cannot be overlooked. With the integration of augmented reality (AR) and virtual reality (VR) technologies, wearables provide users with immersive and interactive experiences like never before. From AR glasses enabling seamless navigation to VR headsets opening up new possibilities in entertainment, wearables have transformed the way we engage with the world around us.
