Overview
The True Catalyst 9X5 Girdle delivers incredible coverage and protection that's built into a highly mobile and lightweight fit. True's new Intelligent Body Protection (iBP) throughout every impact zone is designed to handle any and every type of impact energy. It provides elite-level protection for players who battle, but also offers premium ventilation and a lightweight fit. This premium protection package and exceptional fit were developed in collaboration with Tackla, a trusted name in hockey gear that's been a player favorite for decades.
Each iBP frame is also removable, allowing players to reduce drying times and wash the girdle between uses. The 9X5 also comes with added HD foam caps to extend coverage between the kidneys, hips, and thighs, ensuring no gap is left unattended. A mesh exterior elevates breathability to keep players cool throughout the game, and players can utilize the integrated cup pocket for personal protection. The cup is not included.

Sizing Chart
| GENERAL ICE HOCKEY GIRDLE SIZING GUIDELINES | |
|---|---|
| Measure the circumference of your waist just above the hips. Correspond this measurement to the sizing chart and cross-reference your height. You may overlap between hockey girdle sizes, which in this case comes down to personal preference. The smaller size will fit closer to the body while the larger size will offer more volume and coverage. |
