Boy's Elite A9 Cut Resistant Leggings

Boys Elite A9 Cut Resistant Leggings

Pucktive’s Boys Elite A9 Cut Resistant Leggings deliver the highest level of cut protection available in hockey protective apparel within our youth player lineup.

Built for elite level youth competition, the Elite A9 system helps reduce the risk of serious skate blade injuries to critical lower body zones during high-intensity gameplay such as board battles, crease scrambles, and net-front traffic. This model has Passed BNQ Testing and Achieved an ANSI A9 score under ANSI ISEA 105 test standards, scoring 1.43 times above the ANSI requirement for A9 while maintaining a low-profile 2.7 mm protective system engineered for stability under full equipment.

Despite delivering maximum cut resistance, the streamlined construction maintains lightweight flexibility and breathability to support natural stride mechanics during acceleration, stops, and directional changes. This version does not include an integrated cup pocket or sock attachment tabs, making it ideal for athletes who prefer separate support systems.

Constructed using Pucktive’s GeoSkin™ patent pending system, the Elite A9 leggings enhance structural integrity, airflow mapping, and adaptive stretch so protection remains stable and aligned during competitive movement without restricting mobility.
