LiveLica Level 3 Cut Resistant Neck Guard for Short Track Speed Skating

The LiveLica Cut Resistant Neck Guard protects one of the most vulnerable areas in short track speed skating. In a fall or a pack pile up, blades pass close to the ice and to other skaters, and the neck needs dedicated protection. This guard puts level 3 cut resistant fabric right where it matters, for training and for competition.

Level 3 cut resistance

The neck guard is made from a cut resistant fabric rated at level 3, a high band of cut protection. In plain terms, the material resists a passing blade far better than an ordinary neck warmer or collar, which lowers the risk of a serious cut. Cut resistant neck protection is a standard requirement in short track competition, so a proper guard is part of racing safely and legally rather than an optional extra.

Why the neck needs protecting

Short track is raced in a tight pack on sharp blades. The neck is exposed above the race suit and is one of the areas most at risk in a crash. A dedicated cut resistant guard closes that gap, sitting under your suit collar or over it as you prefer, so you are covered where a suit and boots leave off.

Fit and sizing

• Cut resistance: level 3
• Coverage: wraps the neck and throat area
• Sizes: S, M and L
• Wear: under or over your race suit collar

Choose the size that sits comfortably around your neck without restricting movement, so you can breathe and turn your head freely through starts, crossovers and corners. If you are between sizes, message us and we will help you choose.

Care

Rinse off ice and grit after sessions, wash gently and dry flat away from direct heat. Avoid harsh detergents and tumble drying, which can shorten the life of the protective fibres.
