Why we made this

As parents and players, we developed our Battlegear integrated neck guard shirt to achieve three main things:

  1. The safest shirt in the game through advanced cut-resistant materials and contoured collar and wrist coverage to maximize protection.
  2. The only shirt in hockey with bold colors, styles, and unique designs.
  3. Improve player performance through advanced materials and innovative product design, to maximize thermoregulation and comfort.

FAQs

What Makes Titan Battlegear The Safest?

Titan Battlegear's hockey neck guard utilizes advanced American-made cut-resistant materials and a unique collar design to maximize coverage of critical zones.

Other Brands Use Kevlar®, Why Titan Cut Resistance is Better?

Most Kevlar® fabrics offer an ISO 13997:1999 blade cut resistance level 2, and in very rare occasions level 3 (on a scale of 1 to 5).

Titan's hockey neck guard shirt utilizes proprietary, American made fabrics, delivering the highest cut-resistance: level A9, which makes it 200 stronger than steel, and almost 5 times more cut resistant than Kevlar® products rated level 3 at 5N.

Are there certifications for the USA Hockey mandated laceration protection?

Unfortunately USA hockey does not have any certification requirements currently.

They state “Players are required to wear a neck laceration protector that is commercially designed and manufactured for that purpose.”

We are eager for them to enforce stricter guidelines around the level of protection to qualify as “neck laceration protectors” for the Aug 1, 2024 mandate.

In our testing of other products available in the market, we revealed a very low level of cut resistance due to materials such as Kevlar®, which only provide a level 2 or 3 cut-resistance, depending on fabric weight.

Titan shirts achieve up to a level A9 cut-resistance, the highest level of cut protection in the world.

How Safe Is The Shirt After Many Washes?

We tested cleaning with cycles across TEN Durawash twin-tub industrial machines. This is equivalent to 50 washes in a domestic washing machine.

The cut resistance level, following this washing process increased by 4%. Test reports from INTERTEK are available upon request.

Where Are Titan's Products Produced?

Titan was born in South Florida, and Built in the Americas. Our factories are in Winter Park, Florida, and Colombia. We source material from premium partners in the USA.

The mass market and other independent brands produce in China, with questionable labor practices and superficial cut resistance certifications.

Can I Customize Titan's Hockey Neck Guard Shirt With My Team Logo/Colors?

Yes, Titan's TeamWorks program offers custom gear for teams, as well as personalization by player, including name, number, and even their country flag to represent their nationality!
