Men’s Elite A9 Cut-Resistant Leggings
Pucktive’s Men’s Elite A9 Cut-Resistant Leggings are engineered for elite and professional-level competition where maximum skate-blade protection is required without compromising mobility. Designed for high-speed, high-contact environments, the Elite A9 system helps reduce the risk of skate-blade injuries during board battles, crease scrambles, and net-front contact while maintaining natural stride mechanics under full hockey equipment.
The Elite A9 line has Passed BNQ Testing and Achieved an ANSI A9 score under ANSI/ISEA 105 test standards, testing at 1.43 times above the ANSI cut resistance requirement for A9. Despite delivering the highest level of cut protection available in hockey protective apparel, the GeoSkin™ system maintains a 2.7mm protective thickness to provide maximum protection while remaining lightweight, flexible, and breathable during gameplay.
Built using Pucktive’s GeoSkin™ patent-pending construction, the Elite A9 leggings reinforce high-risk zones while supporting airflow and adaptive stretch. The engineered panel layout allows protection zones to move naturally with the athlete while maintaining stable alignment in critical lower-body exposure areas during explosive skating movements.
