The Sherwood A8 Cut Resistant Calf Sleeves create a protective layer across an area that may be exposed to skate-blade contact. Their compression fit wraps closely around the leg, while the silicone grip helps keep each sleeve correctly positioned.
Key Features
ANSI A8 Cut Resistance
The material is rated A8 under the ANSI/ISEA 105 standard and provides a high level of resistance to cutting.
Back-of-Calf Coverage
The sleeves cover the calf underneath the shin guard and help increase protection around the skin, Achilles and lower-leg tendons against skate-blade contact.
Compression Fit
The close-fitting construction follows the shape of the leg, slides easily over the foot and fits comfortably underneath the shin guard.
Secure Positioning
The silicone elastic grip helps reduce sleeve movement during skating and physical play.
Sold as a Pair
The package contains two sleeves to provide the same coverage for both calves.
Technology and Construction
ANSI Cut Level A8
A8 is the second-highest rating on the nine-level ANSI scale used to evaluate material resistance to cutting. The sleeves work as an additional protective layer across the back of the calf.
Performance Fabric Blend
The material combines 67% polypropylene, 31% nylon and 2% spandex. This blend balances protective fibers with the flexibility required for a close fit and natural skating movement.
Compression Fit and Silicone Elastic Grip
The compression fit keeps the sleeve close to the body, while the silicone elastic grip supports a stable position underneath the shin guard.
Who Is This Product For?
The sleeves are designed for hockey players of different ages and skill levels who want to add high-rated cut resistance to the calf area of their protective setup.
