Men's Base A2 Cut Resistant Hockey Tarp

Men’s Base A2 Cut Resistant Full Hockey Tarp

Pucktive’s Men’s Base A2 Cut Resistant Full Hockey Tarp is engineered to help reduce the risk of skate blade injuries across the neck, wrists, and forearms within a fully integrated upper body protective base layer.

This system provides cut resistant protection beginning at the collar bone and extending upward across the exposed soft tissue areas of the neck not covered by shoulder pads. Integrated GeoSkin™ wrist and forearm zones deliver 360° circumferential cut resistant coverage across the lower arm to help reduce exposure during gameplay contact situations.

Designed using Pucktive’s GeoSkin™ patent pending construction, this model enhances airflow mapping, adaptive stretch, and structural stability so protective zones remain securely positioned throughout gameplay while maintaining lightweight flexibility.

The textured GeoSkin™ forearm zones are engineered to interact with elbow pads to help maintain equipment alignment without requiring external compression sleeves.

The Base A2 model delivers an industry standard level of cut resistance similar to traditional hockey cut protection that has Passed BNQ Testing while remaining significantly lighter, thinner, more flexible, and more breathable than conventional alternatives.
