Upper Armor Team PB Hawks (Jr & Sr Sizes)

Q: Other Brands Use Kevlar®, Why Is This 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 up to level A9 . This makes it 200 times stronger than steel and almost 5 times more cut-resistant than Kevlar® products rated level 3 at 5N.

Q: 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.
