Men’s Elite A9 Cut Resistant Tank Tarp
Pucktive’s Men’s Elite A9 Cut Resistant Tank Tarp represents the highest level of cut protection available in hockey protective apparel within our sleeveless performance lineup.
Engineered for elite and professional level competition, the A9 system delivers 360 degree neck protection that has Passed BNQ Testing and Achieved an ANSI A9 cut resistance score under ANSI ISEA 105 test standards, scoring 1.43 times above the ANSI requirement for A9. Integrated into a lightweight tank construction, this protection is maintained within an approximate 2.7 mm protective thickness to help reduce exposure to skate blade contact without restricting upper body mobility.
Built using Pucktive’s GeoSkin™ patent pending cut resistant system, the Elite A9 Tank Tarp enhances structural reinforcement, airflow mapping, and adaptive stretch so protective components remain securely positioned throughout intense gameplay while maintaining flexibility and breathability.
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.
