Vital Nation Kevlar Socks

While some hockey fans may think that the worst injuries happen from booming open ice hits, most hockey players will tell you that they’d rather catch a hospital pass in the neutral zone than catch a skate blade to the back of the leg. This is one of the ugliest and most devastating types of injury that there is in ice hockey, and ice skates along with standard hockey socks won’t do much to prevent it. Numerous players, a various levels of competition, have seen their careers end with a torn Achilles tendon or lacerated calf/lower leg muscle. But now NHL players — and you, too — have a way to greatly reduce the risk of blade injuries. Vital Nation Kevlar hockey socks provide extra protection against cuts and slashes, making it the hockey sock of choice by top NHL players around the league for practice, and by amateur players everywhere in practice and games.

About Vital Nation Socks 

Vital Nation is a relatively new company, founded in Oakville, Ontario in 2013. With great expertise in design and engineering, the company has a philosophy of “safety by design,” and an objective of creating ultra safe equipment without any loss to a player’s range of motion, comfort or on-ice performance. Now, for the first time, hockey players can protect themselves from serious blade injuries without being limited in how well they are able to play the game. Cut-resistant Vital Nation Kevlar socks (the KPS600™) are a true breakthrough technology. In the company’s own words, “Our advanced V-STAK technology combines a ballistics grade strip of Kevlar and lightweight, impact-absorbing foam to achieve benchmark cut and impact resistance.” 

Considering the price and what you get for your money, this is protective gear no hockey player should ever go without. As we noted in a recent blog post, testing was performed on these socks by the ASTM (American Society for Testing and Materials) and was rated by the ANSI/ISEA (American National Standards Institute/International Safety Equipment Association) at almost 4 on a 5 point scale.
