Fit + Feel + Style + Protection = Titan

While researching and building a spreadsheet on better protective gear for my daughter, I stumbled upon Titan. I asked around and nobody had heard of them, some even balked a bit at the price. A higher cost for quality product and better protection is a no brainer to my wife and I for a sport our daughter loves. The color she wanted wasn't in stock so I decided to buy one for myself (casual player) and my younger son who is just starting out. We got them and tried them on right away. No Velcro, easy to put on and comfy, let's just say my daughter was jealous and has been waiting for the Miami Vice color to be back in stock. The fit and feel are great, we are excited to upgrade from her major retail brand cutshirt to Titan. We were a bit curious if the No Velcro neck is the right way to go, but after reading some reviews, we feel it will be the better option as her hair gets caught and tangled in the Velcro on her current shirt. High quality neck and wrist protection plus some style all equals an easy purchase for us to have extra peace of mind while our kid is out there battling for the puck.

Great protection where it matters

The shirt provides exactly what it says, the neck and wrist guards are a huge improvement on what my son had before and he likes putting it on over the old guards he used. The only reason I go for 4 stars is the body and sleeves of the shirt come across as subpar for the price.

Perfect fit

Tried this since the long sleeve one made my son super hot. This worked perfectly for him, fit was right and snug around his neck.

WHY WE MAKE THIS

  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!
