Pure Hockey Says: The Gladiator sock is the first full-length customizable and cut-resistent hockey sock on the market. We`ve found this full-coverage sock (ankle to thigh) to be comfortable and breathable and Fulton`s claim for the sock being cut-resistent appears to be pretty true, though we don`t recommend you brandishing an axe or a butcher knife or something just to prove them wrong, ok? Good. Now that that`s out of the way, the Gladiator sock should help you a bit against skate-blade cuts in hockey - and that`s always a good thing.
