Boy's Base A2 Cut Resistant Hockey Tarp Tank Top

Boys Base A2 Cut Resistant Tank Tarp

Pucktive’s Boys Base A2 Cut Resistant Tank Tarp is engineered for developing youth athletes who require industry standard skate cut protection in the most lightweight, breathable, thinnest, and flexible cut resistant hockey apparel line available.

Designed specifically for youth hockey players, this tank style base layer integrates essential 360 degree neck protection that has Passed BNQ Testing and Achieved an ANSI A2 cut resistance score under ANSI ISEA 105 test standards into a highly breathable and flexible construction. The sleeveless design maximizes ventilation and upper body mobility while helping maintain stable protective positioning around the neck during gameplay.

Built using Pucktive’s GeoSkin™ patent pending cut resistant system, the Boys Base A2 Tank Tarp enhances airflow, adaptive stretch, and structural stability while delivering similar cut resistance to traditional hockey cut protection that has Passed BNQ Testing in a significantly lighter, thinner, and more flexible format.

Unlike the Full Hockey Tarp, which protects from the collar bone and up, the Tank Tarp protects the anatomical neck region only and does not extend coverage into the clavicle or upper chest regions.

Protection Coverage

Engineered to help reduce the risk of skate blade injuries to:

• Front throat region
• Sides of the neck
• Back of the neck
• Full neck circumference with 360 degree wrap protection

This tank model protects the anatomical neck region only and does not extend to the collar bone.
