CCM Tacks AS-V Senior Hockey Gloves

New for 2022 are the AS-V hockey gloves, a step up in the Tacks line of protectives from CCM. This glove comes equipped with many elite features found in CCM’s top gear, including D3O foam, a Pro FlexThumb, a Kevlar-reinforced palm, and a FlexMotion cuff to give you elite coverage. With its Anatomical Shield Design, the new Tacks AS-V is modeled to fit close to your hand while still offering amazing comfort and movement.

External Material
The Anatomical Shield Design is a major asset that the AS-V gloves bring to the table. The glove overall is made to form around your hand with some additional space for greater comfort and mobility. CCM utilized a variety of materials on the exterior to maximize coverage, flexibility, durability, and comfort. CCM opted for tough nylon and Nash material as the main materials used over the outside of the glove.

Finger Design & Protection
The Tacks AS-V gloves are equipped with premium high-density foam and PE inserts inside the fingers. The fingertips are reinforced with smooth, durable Nash material for extra protection. With this finger construction, you can perform to your full potential from the moment you step onto the ice. To further enhance the glove’s movement capabilities, the index finger has been built with a three-piece design.

Backhand Protection
The backhand uses a Vent-Tech base for primary coverage and excellent ventilation around your hand while you play. Over the backhand is an integrated Impact Protection plate reinforced with D3O foam. D3O is great at absorbing force on impact, making this additional protection plate ideal for blocking shots and engaging in board battles.

Thumb Design
The Pro FlexThumb on the AS-V is built for, as the name implies, superior flexibility. The two-piece design wraps around your thumb with some wiggle room, allowing you to comfortably and firmly grip your stick.

Although the two-piece FlexThumb is unavailable in size 10”, the thumb on this glove still offers superior protection and flex.

Cuff Design
The cuff is sectioned into multiple parts: a FlexMotion Segmented open cuff and a Sublimated Liner inside cuff. The FlexMotion cuff is a five-piece, open anatomical cuff on the outside that has been shortened for a greater range of motion while stickhandling without sacrificing protection. The Sublimated Liner inside cuff functions as part of the liner and has a soft cushioning texture. Its antimicrobial properties will keep you feeling dry and fresh all game long.

Palm Material & Gussets
CCM opted for a Polygiene Odor Crunch-treated Dura-Palm with sublimated AX Suede on their Tacks AS-V glove. To further enhance durability and protection, they also added a Kevlar reinforcement along the palm where your stick will sit. This padding is smooth and tough, ensuring that that area lasts longer and survives even the most rigorous of play and schedules.

Liner
CCM included Polygiene Odor Crunch-treated liners and comfort foams to keep your hands comfortable and feeling fresh for longer. Polygiene has been used in a lot of high-end protective gear and has incredible antibacterial properties. CCM included Odor Crunch to enhance the effects of the liner.

Sizes & Colors
To change up the style a bit for 2022, CCM opted for a darker gold in their Tacks line rather than the classic yellow. The Tacks AS-V Senior hockey gloves come in 13”, 14”, and 15” sizes and the, following colourways: Black/Gold, Black/Orange, Black/Red/White, Black/White, Navy/Red/White, Navy/Gold, Navy/White, Red/White, Royal/Red/White, and Royal/White.
