Disclaimer

Disclaimer: Products offering 'cut resistance' and 'cut protection' are not foolproof in preventing or eliminating cut injuries, especially against powered blades or sharp equipment. The information provided by Titan Battlegear is based on current knowledge and is intended as guidance for your decisions or product selections. Titan Battlegear's cut protection products are highly resistant to cuts, but they are not completely cut-proof. The Battlegear Armor collection offers top-tier protection, but caution is advised during use. Despite their high resistance to cuts, there is always a possibility that objects could penetrate these products under certain circumstances.

Frequently Asked Questions

What Makes Titan's battle gear The Safest?

Titan's proprietary cut-resistance material, TITANOTEX™️, brings the highest level of cut resistance in the world to the hockey industry.

TITANOTEX™️ delivers Level A9 cut-resistance thanks to Graphene fiber. This breakthrough nanotechnology protects beyond the limits of the ANSI standard laboratory cut test.

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).

TITANOTEX™️ delivers 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 are made with TITANOTEX™️, which achieves 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 UK.

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

Can I Customize Titan's Upper Armor 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!
