Calgary Flames Gladiator Senior Cut Resistant Hockey Socks

A polyester shell cases a liner made with Dyneema'the world's strongest fiber adding the final layer of protection against serious or even career-threatening injuries related to skate-blade cuts. The Gladiator Sock is the first customizable cut-resistant hockey sock to provide safe coverage of the entire leg; from ankle all the way up to where the leg meets the hip joint. The solution is a knit sock with a loose-hanging liner; to grab and drag skate-blades; keeping them from direct contact with the leg. The Gladiator's construction allows for double-layered resistance; and the last layer is the strongest possible line of defense against skate-blade cuts. The Dyneema liner found in the Gladiator Sock ensures a last line of defense against skate-blade cuts while providing a comfortable; flexible feel that enables the performance hockey players expect to maintain. Dyneema is a fiber invented by DSM; a Netherlands-based company. It derives its enormous strength from a proprietary gel-spinning process that results in incredibly long; straight polymer chains. The result is a fusion of extreme strength and supreme softness. The Dyneema brand is used in a wide and ever-increasing range of applications such as medical sutures; commercial fishing and aquaculture nets; ropes; slings; cut-resistant gloves and apparel; vehicle; personal ballistic protection; and now; cut-resistant hockey socks.
