Although the Gen 2 socks are not designed for use with Gen 1 electronic body protectors (EBP), we received feedback that athletes do not want to invest in older technology as it is cost prohibitive. Athletes may still use Gen 1 socks with or without heel socks; please note that those using Gen 1 socks will be at a disadvantage against an athlete using Gen 2 socks, since Gen 2 socks have more magnet sensors and therefore will score more easily.<\/p>\n<p>While we recognize that those who have invested in Gen 1 socks may now feel the need to upgrade, the NCTA feels that it is in the best interest of the athletes to allow them to invest in Gen 2 as it is future-oriented.
