The Vest
Cut for the body wearing it.
Built for women
Our sport vest is tailored to fit the female body — comfort, support and freedom in every move.
Built for men
The same vest, cut for the male torso — locked across the chest and shoulders so nothing shifts at speed.
Both cuts, two builds
PRO Vest
Sensor built in
Our heart-rate partner's sensor is built into the vest itself — beat-to-beat, with nothing extra to strap on.

EVO Vest
High-compression and easy to wash, with no electronics sewn in.
Our partner's heart-rate strap is included.
Questions
Straight answers.
What is Tectus Sport?
An athlete performance tracking system for team sports — football outdoors; basketball, handball and volleyball indoors. A pod in the vest tracks movement at 100 Hz and, on a pitch, position by GPS; heart rate is measured alongside, and every session and match becomes up to 262 validated metrics.
Are the measurements validated?
Yes, independently. Third-party laboratories validate our measurements, alongside our own testing. And there is no black box: our measurement methods and data-processing methodology are open to scientific scrutiny.
What is the difference between EVO and PRO?
Both use the same pod, pipeline and private network — the difference is how the heart is measured. EVO pairs a high-compression vest with our partner's heart-rate strap. PRO builds the sensor into the vest itself, beat-to-beat with nothing extra to strap on, and unlocks all 262 metrics, injury prevention included.
How is your data stored?
Pod to HUB runs over a private wireless link on your pitch or court. HUB to analytics runs over VPN. Analytics and dashboard share a host and communicate through the database.
We already use another system. Will we lose our data?
No. Bring your historical measurements with you — we import them into Tectus, so your history carries on where it left off. It is your data, and it stays yours.
Do the metrics compare athletes against each other?
No. Almost every threshold is relative to the athlete's own baseline, computed from their previous weeks and months. A 90% sprint exposure means 90% of that player's personal maximum, never a squad average.
