The Sherwood A8 Cut Resistant Forearm Sleeves help bridge and seal the gap of any skin of the lower forearm between your elbow pads and hockey gloves, drastically reducing the chances of receiving a laceration from a skate blade. Built with A8 cut protection, they offer an extremely high level of cut resistance while ensuring you don't lose any comfort or mobility. They slide over the arm and are designed with a close-to-the-body compression fit and a silicone grip to ensure they stay exactly where they need to be. Additionally, they come with a foam insert to even add additional impact protection to the top of the arm against slashes.
