Boy's Base A2 Cut Resistant Hockey Tarp
Boy’s Base A2 Cut Resistant Full Hockey Tarp
Pucktive’s Boy’s Base A2 Cut Resistant Full Hockey Tarp is engineered to help reduce the risk of skate blade injuries for developing youth athletes in a fully integrated upper body protective system.
Designed specifically for competitive youth hockey, the Base A2 model combines an integrated cut resistant neck guard with full 360 degree wrist and forearm protection. The integrated neck guard protects from the collar bone up to the top of the neck, covering areas typically left exposed by shoulder pads. GeoSkin™ cut resistant zones wrap fully around the forearm and wrist to provide complete circumferential protection across exposed lower arm regions.
Constructed using Pucktive’s GeoSkin™ patent pending system, this tarp enhances airflow mapping, adaptive stretch, and structural stability while maintaining the most lightweight, breathable, thin, and flexible mobility under full equipment. The textured GeoSkin™ forearm surface is engineered to help naturally stabilize elbow pads without relying on compression sleeves. Sleeves maintain a snug fit to help prevent protective zones from shifting during gameplay while allowing full mobility.
This model delivers an industry standard level of protection similar to traditional hockey cut protection that has Passed BNQ Testing while remaining significantly lighter, thinner, more flexible, and more breathable than conventional alternatives.
