Hockey Aycane A-Shield Grip Skate Socks

Aycane A-Shield Skate Socks are designed for players who want cut-resistant protection, minimal bulk and a more secure feel inside the skate. Knitted-in silicone yarn in the sole area helps reduce unwanted foot movement without bulky silicone prints. The cut-resistant layer passes ANSI/ISEA 105 Method ASTM F2992-15, Level A5, and EN ISO 13997:1999, Level E, but it is important to note that the socks are cut-resistant, not cut-proof.

Key features

Integrated sole grip
Knitted-in silicone yarn helps improve contact between the foot and the skate, reducing internal slipping during acceleration, turns and quick transitions.

A5 cut-resistant protection
Cut-resistant yarn in the shaft, calf, ankle and Achilles areas meets the ANSI/ISEA A5 cut-resistance standard.

Single-layer construction
The revolutionary single-layer design combines protective function with minimal bulk, helping the sock feel thin inside the skate.

Thin sole area
Ultra-light and thin material in the sole area helps preserve direct skate contact and feel.

Moisture-wicking performance
Chimney construction helps move moisture away from the foot and supports a drier feel under pressure.

Seamless toe construction
The seamless toe helps reduce pressure points in the front part of the skate.

Technology and construction

A-SHIELD GRIP

A-SHIELD GRIP uses silicone yarn knitted directly into the sole construction. Unlike bulky silicone prints, the grip is designed to work without stiff patches or pressure points, so the player feels a more secure connection inside the skate.

ANSI/ISEA A5 cut-resistant protection

The socks pass ANSI/ISEA 105 Method ASTM F2992-15 at Level A5. This describes the material’s cut resistance in laboratory testing, but it does not mean complete protection against every skate blade injury.

EN ISO 13997 Level E

The material also passes EN ISO 13997:1999 using the TDM method at Level E. This is another laboratory standard used to evaluate cut resistance.

Chimney construction

The moisture-wicking chimney construction helps move sweat away from the feet. In practice, it supports a drier environment inside the skate during intense play.
