Tuff-n-Lite® Hockey - Cut Resistant Testing
The protective socks were put through the same test procedure they use when they test the cut resistance of a neck guard.
Following stringent testing protocol, they use a new sharpened skate blade for only 9 passes before changing it for a new one. They do three passes at different placements on each test material.
Even if the material is not compromised, they check the foam to see if there are pressure cuts made through the material.
As the first picture shows, there is no compromise of the sock nor was there any pressure indentations/cuts on the foam.
The material was stretched beyond the normal width of a persons calf/leg. The first pass, which is pictured on the the far right, compromised the material slightly.
The foam/skin underneath had no indentations or cuts. The sock performed as it was designed to do if it was ever compromised - it did not rip, tear or shred, so the player would have had a surface cut compared to a severe injury if they had not been wearing our socks.
Our socks offer players comfort, coolness and protection...
