The CCM Tacks XF Glove is perfectly designed for the competitive player who wants elite-level protection and comfort without breaking the bank. It shares the same Impact Protection Plate as the XF Pro, providing players with pro-level coverage to the back of the hand. It uses D3O Zero Foam, a now sustainable version of D3O with the same impact properties. This rate-sensitive foam quickly hardens upon receiving an impact such as a blocked shot or slash and disperses the energy away from the hand.
Underneath the Impact Protection Plate lies a ventilation port that enhances airflow throughout the glove, helping to keep your hands cool and sweat-free. Lycra finger gussets, 2-piece flex thumb, three-piece index, and Sensalast Palm deliver an incredibly broken-in and highly comfortable fit before you even hit the rink.
The exterior boasts a pro-polyester and PU leather construction ensuring great durability against wear and tear while offering a lightweight design. Internally, extremely soft cushion foam feels great on the hands while Polygiene Biostatic and Odor Crunch Technology keeps the liner odor-free by tackling unwanted bacteria growth.

ComfortAmazing fit and feel. I had always purchased lower level gloves and had no idea how much of a difference there is with better ones. These are great. Can’t speak to the durability as I’ve only worn them a couple times so far. But they seem to be built very well.
