The CCM Tacks AS-V Glove is ideal for the elite-level player who wants a premium glove without the steep price tag. The all-new Impact Protection Plate on the backhand is reinforced with D30 impact-absorbing foam, which is also included in the knuckles for pro-level protection against slashes and blocked shots. CCM designed the backhand with a vented base that increases airflow to help your hands stay cool so you can perform at your peak. The AS-V then features Polygiene BioStatic and Odor Crunch Treatment, which prevents the growth of odor-causing bacteria from sweat and eliminates odors caused by external smells. Stretch lycra finger gussets enable better hand dexterity while the AX Suede palm provides a top-level feel for the stick. It's also built with a Kevlar overlay that provides one of the best reinforcements against wear and tear in the game.
