Construction
The FT8 Pro hockey gloves are made up of an Aer-Tec Thermoregulation system, powered to allow for maximum breathability and airflow. They also have a lightweight and comfortable construction that is optimized for pro-level play that also provides a game-ready feel with maximum mobility.
External Material
The Jetspeed FT8 Pro hockey gloves are made with a pro-approved polyester and synthetic leather over the outside. This provides a durable and lightweight exterior that can withstand the rigors of intense gameplay. The material is also designed to offer maximum ventilation, keeping your hands cool and comfortable during even the most intense hockey games.
Finger Design & Protection
The combination of premium ZoteFoam and high-density PE foam used in the construction of the fingers creates a truly formidable barrier against both impacts and slashes. The fingers use PE plastic inserts for added reinforcement, providing an extra layer of defense that gives players the confidence they need to take on the toughest battles. PU foam cushioning is used to provide added comfort and reduce pressure on the fingers when taking impact.
Backhand Protection
Similar to the fingers, the backhand on FT8 Pro gloves features premium ZoteFoam, in addition to high-density PE foam and PE plastic insert shields for reinforcement. These gloves continue to use the Aer-Tec ventilation ports to regulate temperature by increasing airflow within the gloves, keeping your hands cool and comfortable with 2 ventilation ports along the backhand.
Thumb Design
These gloves use a Pro FlexThumb, a feature that has been used on many CCM gloves throughout the years. This feature includes a 2-piece thumb design to deliver better mobility and an incredible grip on your stick, and an easier handle on the puck. To pair with the protection, CCM added a ventilated mesh back of the thumb for added airflow to keep the gloves lightweight and cool while you play.
Cuff Design
Featuring a design known as the Max Flex Cuff, players can expect unrestricted wrist movements from the FT8 Pro glove. With the ability to move more freely when handling the puck, opportunities are created for better plays, with a cuff that offers flexibility and protection from impacts. There are also plastic inserts that are strategically placed to cover vulnerable areas to help disperse the energy of impacts across a larger area, reducing the risk of injury, while also remaining comfortable.
Palm Material & Gussets
The Sensalast Pro Palm is a pro base palm with a Sensalast reinforcement designed to offer players with a superior grip and feel on their hockey sticks. The seamless palm-to-cuff transition inside & out allows for ultimate comfort, while the embossed texture combined with a pro-feel palm provides players with an optimal interaction with their stick.
Liner
The liner utilizes the Aer-Tec Suspension System and mesh lining to keep the gloves suspended from your hand in a way for max ventilation throughout the glove. The sublimated liner is treated with Polygiene and Odorcrunch, creating a great feel while helping to keep players dry with enhanced antibacterial and odor fighting treatments.
