A2 Base Cut Resistant Neck Guard

Base A2 Cut Resistant Neck Guard

Pucktive’s Base A2 Cut Resistant Neck Guard is engineered to help reduce the risk of skate blade injuries while maintaining the most lightweight, breathable, thinnest, and flexible standalone neck protection in our lineup.

Designed as a traditional standalone neck guard system, this model provides 360 degree wrap protection around the anatomical neck region only. It does not extend to the clavicle or collar bone area. The Base A2 Neck Guard is ideal for athletes who prefer a separate neck guard rather than an integrated hockey tarp system.

Constructed using Pucktive’s GeoSkin™ patent pending cut resistant system, the Base A2 model has Passed BNQ 9415 370 cut resistance testing and Achieved an ANSI A2 cut resistance score under ANSI ISEA 105 test standards. It delivers an industry standard level of cut resistance similar to traditional hockey neck guards that have Passed BNQ Testing, while remaining significantly lighter, thinner, more flexible, and more breathable than conventional alternatives.

Lightweight and adaptable, it is built for developing and competitive athletes who require reliable standalone protection that maintains mobility and usability throughout gameplay.
