About Idaho Sewing for Sports

Founded in 1974 in Grangeville, Idaho, ID Sewing for Sports has spent decades perfecting the art of protective padding. What began as a small local business sewing truck seats has grown into the #1 padding manufacturer in the U.S. and Canada. Our mission is simple: keep athletes, adventurers, and kids safe with the best padding solutions available.

Co-founders Will and Gail Williams saw the need for quality padding in the ski industry over 40 years ago, and their legacy of innovation lives on in our company today. We are proud to be a woman-owned, Idaho-based US manufacturer.

Expertise & Scale

With a team of skilled craftsmen and designers, we produce thousands of pads each year in our Idaho facility. We understand the unique demands of each industry we serve – we have specialists for ski area needs, athletic facility requirements, and more. Our padding is Made in the USA and shipped globally.

Over 50 years, we’ve learned and improved with our customers. Many of our product innovations (like the Willy Bag or new recyclable pads) came from collaborating directly with ski areas, coaches, and facility managers who use our products.

Commitment to Sustainability

ID Sewing is leading the way in making sports padding more sustainable. In 2022, we introduced the industry’s first line of 100% recyclable pads. These pads use eco-friendly materials that can be recycled at end-of-life – and they’re lighter and just as tough as traditional pads. We’re committed to protecting not just people, but the environment too.
