Sherwood A8 Cut Resistant Forearm Sleeves

The Sherwood A8 Cut Resistant Forearm Sleeves create an additional protective layer across the lower forearm and wrist area that may otherwise remain exposed. Their compression fit, silicone grip and flexible fabric help keep the sleeves correctly positioned without unnecessarily restricting movement.

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.

Gap Coverage

The sleeves cover the lower forearm between the hockey glove and elbow pad, helping reduce the risk of injury from skate-blade contact.

Foam Insert

An integrated foam insert across the top of the forearm provides basic cushioning against stick contact and other impacts.

Compression Fit

The close-fitting construction follows the shape of the arm and supports comfortable wear underneath hockey equipment.

Secure Positioning

The silicone elastic grip helps reduce sleeve movement during play and keeps the protective area properly covered.

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 protective fabric helps increase cut resistance across the skin and lower forearm.

Performance Fabric Blend

The material combines 60% polypropylene, 38% nylon and 2% spandex. This blend balances a resistant construction with the flexibility required for a compression fit and natural wrist movement.

Anatomical Pair

The package contains two anatomically shaped sleeves. Each sleeve is designed for the corresponding arm to support proper coverage and positioning.

Who Is This Product For?

The sleeves are designed for hockey players who want high-rated cut resistance across the gap between their gloves and elbow pads while maintaining natural wrist mobility.
