ccm hockey handschuhe CCM Tacks Vector Premier Junior Hockey Gloves (2024)

Intro & New Features

Joining the brand-new iteration of the AS series in CCM’s Tacks line are the newly upgraded Source Exclusive Vector Premier gloves. Source Exclusive gear combines a lower-end model with features from higher-end gear at a more affordable price. The Vector Premier gloves blend the model and features of the AS 580 and the AS-V.

External Material

The Tacks Vector Premier’s exterior uses elements from both the AS-V and the 580. Around the thumb area, the gloves opt for tough nylon and leather, reminiscent of the AS-V. Around the backhand area, the gloves take design inspiration from the 580 with its polyester and backhand plate features.

 

Finger Design & Protection

The fingers on the AS-V and 580 both offer premium finger protection, and the Vector Premier is no different. Tacks Vector Premier gloves feature premium dual-density foam and PE inserts, as well as Nash reinforcement in the fingertips for added protection. With this finger construction, you can perform at your full potential from the moment you step onto the ice, as they are made to be comfortable and flexible right out of the box. To further enhance the glove’s movement capabilities, the index finger has been built with a three-piece design.

Backhand Protection

The backhand has the closest resemblance to the Tacks AS 580, starting with the Vent-Tech base in the backhand. This technology offers excellent ventilation around your hand while you play. Over the backhand is an integrated impact protection plate designed to absorb and disperse force when blocking shots or battling in the boards. In addition, the glove features D3O foam in the knuckles for more security in that area. D3O is an amazing force absorbing material, as seen in much of CCM’s other protective gear.

Thumb Design

The Pro FlexThumb on the Vector Premier 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.

Cuff Design

The cuff is sectioned into multiple parts: a FlexMotion Segmented open cuff on the outside and a Sublimated Liner inside cuff on the inside portion. The FlexMotion cuff is a five-piece, open anatomical cuff 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

The Tacks Vector Premier gloves use most of the same sublimated AX Suede palm material and design as the AS-V, with a Nash reinforcement taken from the AS 580. CCM opted for a Polygiene Odor Crunch-treated Dura-Palm Vector Premier glove. The extra layer right where the glove comes in contact with the stick helps reduce friction and counteract any wear and tear that could occur.

Liner

The inside of the glove is lined with PU cushion foam and a sublimated laminated liner for a smooth and soft, game-ready feel. The laminated liner is water-resistant and durable, ensuring better longevity.

Sizes & Colors

The CCM Tacks Vector Premier Junior Hockey Gloves come in sizes 13"-15" and are available in colors Black/Red/White, Black/White, and Navy/White.
