What to consider when buying a neck guard shirt

  • Base layers with built-in neck protection are a smart solution for always keeping your neck protected from sharp skate blades while playing ice hockey. We offer neck guard shirts for kids, juniors, and seniors – from well-known brands like Bauer and CCM.

    Why is a neck guard important?
    A neck guard is a mandatory piece of equipment that helps minimize the risk of serious injuries, especially from sharp skate blades. Traditional neck guards are separate from the rest of your gear and must be put on before each match or practice. This can sometimes lead to the risk of forgetting or losing the guard during changing or storage. Nowadays, there are base layer shirts with built-in Kevlar neck protection. In addition to ensuring your neck is always protected during play, these shirts also offer greater comfort with less chafing.

    How to choose a neck guard shirt that fits
    Choose a base layer shirt that matches your playing level (kids, junior, or senior). On the product page, you can compare your overall body length and measurements around your chest, waist, and hips with the size chart to select the right size (from XXS to XL). The neck guard shirts can be adjusted at the neck using Velcro straps. Please note that measurements and sizes may vary between different brands.
