What about Kevlar® Socks? How does CUTSHIELD compare?

WHAT ABOUT KEVLAR® SOCKS?

When we developed the cut-resistant hockey category in 2010, our goal was to design no-compromise protective gear ensuring a unique combination of the highest cut-resistance in the hockey category combined with the thinnest, lightest, most comfortable and highest performance socks that could enhance a player’s performance and experience.

HOW ARE CUTSHIELD HOCKEY SOCKS DIFFERENT?

COMFORT: As avid hockey players ourselves, we knew that if our protective gear was not comfortable, players would not wear it.

PERFORMANCE: CUTSHIELD HOCKEY’s unique fibres offer superior cut-resistance compared to Kevlar® socks along with the performance and comfort NHL players demand.

DURABILITY AND VALUE: We also wanted to design protective socks that offered amateur players and families exceptional value, durability and longevity.

Unlike socks made with Dupont Kevlar® CUTSHIELD HOCKEY, socks DO NOT degrade in UV lighting or with moisture.

Unlike Kevlar® socks, CUTSHIELD HOCKEY socks DO NOT need special laundering while also offering superior cut resistance, performance, comfort and durability. Unlike Kevlar® socks, CUTSHIELD HOCKEY socks are Wash, Dry and Play and fit into your family’s busy lifestyle.

*Kevlar® socks have very specific instructions which include washing inside-out, do not wash in hot water, lay flat to dry. Exposure to light (UV) also leads to degradation.
