First, all products are tested to ensure they meet proper sizing requirements and feature a fastening mechanism that is both easily removeable and keeps the product in place. Next, products endure a weathering test to simulate the wear and tear that long hockey seasons and many washes can have on gear. Then products are stored in a temperature controlled room. After products endure the cut resistant test. Products are put on to testing dummies and must protect them from hockey skates hitting the protective device from a mechanical leg simulating a 198lbs player moving 25 KMH or 15.5 MPH.
All Pucktive neck guards underwent and successfully passed all aspects of the BNQ Skate cut resistance test.

Each of our products successfully passed the BNQ skate cut test and made Pucktive the only brand to feature a wrist, thigh, groin, femoral artery, popliteal artery, and achilles tendon guard which exceed the all requirements of the BNQ skate cut resistance test.
