Boy's Elite A9 Cut Resistant Hockey Tarp Tank Top

Boys Elite A9 Cut Resistant Tank Tarp

Pucktive’s Boys Elite A9 Cut Resistant Tank Tarp represents the highest level of cut protection available in hockey protective apparel within our youth sleeveless lineup.

Designed for elite level youth competition, the A9 system delivers maximum skate blade cut protection in a reinforced performance structure built for high intensity gameplay. The sleeveless tank design maximizes ventilation and unrestricted upper body mobility, while the integrated 360 degree A9 neck guard helps reduce injury risk in one of hockey’s most vulnerable areas.

Built using Pucktive’s GeoSkin™ patent pending cut resistant construction, this tank tarp enhances structural integrity, airflow mapping, and adaptive stretch while maintaining an approximately 2.7 mm protective thickness. The Elite A9 model has Passed BNQ Testing and Achieved an ANSI A9 cut resistance score under ANSI ISEA 105 test standards using ASTM F2992 TDM-100 methodology, scoring 1.43 times above the ANSI requirement for A9 while remaining lightweight, flexible, and breathable for elite youth competition.

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.

• Front throat region
• Sides of the neck
• Back of the neck
