TESTIMONIALS

  • ACHILLES® Cut-resistant socks with HPPE "Just wanted to let you know just how great your socks are. Tonight a skate went down the back of my skate and the sock didn't cut and overall saved me from cutting my Achilles. Thanks so much for the socks over the years!"
           Jordan Larson, Carleton Place Canadians (CCHL) RBC runner's up 2013/14 & 2014/15  
  •   ACHILLES® Cut-resistant goalie/player underwear with HPPE "I've been using the Achilles Cut-Resistant Goalie Underweat for a month now, it's flawless! The underwear provides me the same quality (flexibility and breathability) I used to know with my other spandex pants, but with even more protection. When I watch the back of my leg with the pads on, I can see that my leg is very well protected, and I feel safe when it's time to play. I hope to never find out if they could save me from an injury, but I am sure that if that was the case, they would. I won't wear anything else by now and I recommand that product for every goaltender. The customer service was awesome. As I live in Europe, everything was made to help me from the beginning with my questions to the end with the delivery. I couldn't be more happy about it! Thank you for a great product and for an awesome service!"

  • ACHILLES® Kevlar® skate sock-  "I went down to block a shot and the guy who took the shot tried to jump over me but he came down square on the back of my calf. His skate cut my player sock but I couldn't even find where it made contact with your Achilles sock. I did have a healthy bruise showing exactly where my leg WOULD have been cut without your socks. Bruises I can live with. Arterial cuts I can't. Thanks for making the product available. I bought them when you first started selling them over three years ago. I won't go on the ice without them."          R. Smith, California

  •  ACHILLES® Kevlar® skate sock- "The socks and wrist guards are nice. I'll be ordering more socks in the next day or so. FYI, I got a set of cut resistant Bauer socks for comparison. I like yours better. The Bauers are a bit thicker, which is nice, but the toe seam is way too pronounced (it digs in to my toes a bit) and they don't go up as high on the calf, so they cover less. Overall, I prefer the Hogans."

  • ACHILLES® Cut-resistant goalie/player underwear with Kevlar®- “I am a satisfied customer of your Hogan Hockey bottoms. I just started playing goalie this season after almost 20 years of playing hockey, and I feel so much more comfortable in net wearing your product. In fact I am looking at buying some of your socks to wear both as a player and goalie as well. Great products from a satisfied customer (and hoping to be a future customer again).”
    Thank you for your great product!       J. Brady, Alaska 
                                                                                                                                                                                                                 
  •  ACHILLES® Cut-resistant goalie/player underwear with Kevlar®-  "Coming into my first year of pro, I spent the offseason taking care of all of the smallest details, on and off the ice to prepare myself best. What I failed to realize at the time is that one freak incident can take all of your hard work and mental preparation and in one instant take away a season and possibly your career. I have already seen the after effects of two incidents already this season, both wrist and Achilles. I am thankful that after the first I spent what is ultimately an insignificant cost for piece of mind and safety on the ice and I would not step foot on the ice again without my Hogan Hockey Kevlar compression pants."

  • ACHILLES® cut-resistant hockey products-  "I've had our goaltenders wear Hogan Hockey protective underwear and socks ever since one of our former Bulldog goaltenders, Alex Stalock, nearly had his career cut short due to a laceration to the back of his leg during an A.H.L. game three seasons ago. Every goalie in our program has worn the protective underwear since the injury to Alex and with no complaints! The underwear isn't heavy and it wicks away sweat like any other performance underwear along with protecting them in those highly prone, exposed areas of the legs. It gives the player a "piece of mind" that those exposed areas are always protected!"

  • ACHILLES® referee shin tights- "I used them all summer and can't think of anything negative about them. The main competition is the Viceroy Shin Tights and the Hogan brand works as well as the Viceroy but has the added piece of mind that comes with the cut protection."
          Craig, Vancouver, BC
  • ACHILLES® Kevlar® skate sock- "After having surgery on my torn Achilles, there is no other sock I would wear than Hogan Hockey's cut resistant Achilles sock. The added protection has given me the confidence to get back on the ice without any fear of reinjury. They are the most comfortable sock I've worn and the breathability is fantastic. Thanks Hogan Hockey for extra peace of mind."

  • ACHILLES® Kevlar® skate sock- "I started wearing the Hogan Hockey Achilles skate socks a few years ago and I love them! They offer me protection without taking away from comfort and performance. I like how the socks don’t move around in my skates and fit perfectly even after months of wearing them. Luckily, I have yet to test the cut proof aspect but I consider that a good thing. Knowing I am protected helps me focus on the game and not worry about injury. I really enjoy the socks and would suggest them to everyone!"

  • ACHILLES® Cut-resistant goalie underwear with Kevlar®- "The Hogan Hockey ACHILLES underwear provide the same level of flexibility and breathability as my old spandex pants. With Hogan Hockey products I'm much more protected from the threat of being cut, it's my first and final line of trusted defense."

  • ACHILLES® Cut-resistant goalie underwear with Kevlar®- "I started using the XH Series ACHILLES Cut-Resistant Goalie Underwear and Socks in 2010.  There is no sacrifice for the right protection.  And with the way the game is played nowadays, you need to be protected against skate cuts from goal mouth scrums and forwards driving the net.  Hogan Hockey's products have given me the piece of mind to maintain the aggressive style of play that allows me to be successful.  I am no longer worried about sticking my legs into high traffic areas where skate cuts most often occur.  Out of the box, the underwear and socks were the most comfortable I've ever worn.  In two seasons, the ACHILLES products have saved me from injury on a number of occasions.  They have offered me the level of protection, comfort, and performance that I needed to help me excel at the collegiate level.  I wouldn't wear anything else.  I recommend all goaltenders do the same."

  • ACHILLES® Kevlar® skate sock- "I just wanted to say Thank You for a terrific product! My son has been wearing your Achilles socks for over a year of Mite hockey and won't hit the ice without them. He certainly is more concerned with comfort at his age, but he understands the piece of mind provided by using the proper protective equipment. At purchase, I considered the Achilles socks a relatively inexpensive part of his protective gear; however, the durability of a single pair after more than a hundred skates makes the Achilles socks truly cheap insurance!

  • ACHILLES® Cut-resistant goalie underwear with Kevlar®- "I've been using the product for the last couple of weeks here at Shattuck and have really enjoyed the comfort of it. It is keeping my legs dry and it is keeping them cool at the same time. It also is giving me a peace of mind of not getting cut while playing goal." 
          M. Loveday. Goalie at Shattuck St. Mary's
  • ACHILLES® Cut-resistant goalie underwear with Kevlar®- "I used to fight with my son to wear underwear and socks under his goalie pads. Once he got cut I made him wear the Hogan goalie underwear. He loved them. I do not have to fight with him anymore. I also do not have to worry about him getting cut again. A great product."

  • ACHILLES® Kevlar® skate socks & wrist guards- "Our socks arrived last week. My son is an Atom goalie and I am 44 and play goal also. My son loves them and is wearing them for every game and practice. The first time he wore them his calf was stepped on in practice. He had a bit of a bruise from the pressure of the blade but nothing cut at all. He was very happy he had them since accidents happen in the crease. I have found the socks to be very effective at keeping my feet dry and the knowledge my leg won't get sliced open if someone tumbles into the crease is reassuring. I ordered the cut-resistant wrist guards also and they seem to help with the heavy sweating goalies endure while playing. The extra protection on the glove hand wrist is nice since it is the vulnerable hand when covering loose pucks as players tend to get a little over zealous trying to swat and kick pucks loose. Great products. We love them."

  • ACHILLES® Cut-resistant goalie underwear with Kevlar®- "Just a note to let you know the underwear are performing nicely and wash up well. I wear only a pair of long soccer type socks over the underwear and they are cool and comfortable all the time. As a goalie I don't find this underwear hot or even warm at all. As a matter of fact I find the opposite. They wick away moisture nicely, even under the pads I don't notice any discomfort or feeling of undo heat at all. I have worn many styles of underwear over 50 years of playing goal and this has been the best product for comfort and protection that I have found." 
          Warren H. Vermont
  • ACHILLES® hockey products- "All hockey players should be wearing these products for the simple fact that they offer added protection from skate cuts."

  • ACHILLES® Cut-resistant goalie underwear with Kevlar®- "The underwear look and fit great. Well done." 
          Jim O. Michigan
  • ACHILLES® Cut-resistant goalie underwear with Kevlar®- "Very nice indeed- lighter than I thought Kevlar would be - in fact I find very little weight difference from my other compression underwear."   
          Warren H. Vermont
  • ACHILLES® Kevlar® skate sock- "I wore the socks the day after I got them and they were as comfortable as any other skate sock I've worn. I was pleased with the way they felt and of course, liked the extra protection. We will be contacting you in the future so we can get our hands on some more."  
          D. Beiring, Linesman WCHA
  • ACHILLES® Kevlar® skate sock- "Hogan Hockey has combined the comfort and moisture management of a normal skate sock with the added cut-resistant Achilles material to help me play safe and feel great on the ice. Why not protect yourself? It's a no brainer to use the Achilles Cut-Resistant Skate Sock.
          Luke Judson/Captain, Bellville OHL
  • ACHILLES® Hybrid skate sock- "I wear the Achilles Hybrid sock and they are so comfortable that I don't know I am wearing them. And I like the feeling of being safe from injury."
          Davis Ross, NWO Stars AAA Bantams
  • ACHILLES® Kevlar® skate sock-  "I love to play the game of hockey and do not want to suffer an Achilles injury as so many others have already done so and that is why I wear the Achilles skate sock." 
          Nolan Ross, NWO Stars AAA Bantams

  •  ACHILLES® Kevlar® skate sock-  "I wanted to give some positive feedback on the socks, they fit great and I love that they are not full socks. They are now as important as any other piece of equipment."

  • ACHILLES® Kevlar® skate sock-  "Good evening Randy, They turned up on my doorstep this morning and got a nice 1.5 hour session, my word they are comfy as anything!"
          K. Bond. Surrey, England
  • ACHILLES® Cut-resistant goalie underwear with Kevlar®-  "I wore the Achilles goalie underwear for the 2009/2010 season as I liked the idea of cut protection on the exposed areas not covered by my pads. The underwear was very comfortable and I found the kevlar very flexible also. The underwear was washed on a regular basis and is holding up well. I will definately be wearing these next season again."
