The CCM Tacks XF Pro Youth Glove uses quality materials and boasts high-level protection for the young hockey superstar. It features CCM's Impact Protection Plate that includes D3O foam, providing elite-level protection for the backhand against blocked shots or stick impacts. D3O foam was strategically used in this key area, as it absorbs and dissipates impact energy to reduce the amount of force transmitted to the hand compared to other foams.
