The Tackla 4500 Ice Girdle is up to half the weight of normal ice hockey pants without sacrificing protection.
The kidney, hip, and thigh protection consist of dual-density foam and an additional layer of thin EVA foam for excellent protection to all game scenario impacts.
High-density foam takes the initial impact while thick, medium-density foam adds a thick layer of comfort and impact absorption.
The tailbone guard is built with the same dual-density foam but with a much softer foam to keep things comfortable while sitting on the bench.
Lots of thin EVA foam fills in areas between the main protection to maximize coverage and feature large perforation to increase airflow throughout the game.
Virtually all of the protection is accessible to remove out of the girdle so players can wash their girdle without damaging the foam protection.
