Bauer NG NLP8 CORE BIB Youth Ice Hockey Neck Guard

Bauer NG NLP8 CORE BIB Youth Ice Hockey Neck Guard – one of those pieces of kit parents tend to buy on the way to the first practice, often because the coach sent a message the night before. Many hockey leagues require neck protection for young players, and this Bauer bib ticks the boxes you'd want ticked: it is BNQ and CE certified, meeting the neck laceration protection standards set by governing bodies.

It's designed to look after the neck and the clavicle area, and the bib reaches down below the neck to add cut-resistant protection where a simple collar would end. For a small skater who still falls more often than they glide, that extra coverage is reassuring – for you in the stands, too. The fabric carries an A2 cut rating, and Bauer's THERMO MAX+ treatment manages moisture and odour – welcome when the bag sits in the car between Saturday sessions.

Before you order, grab a soft measuring tape: the Youth (S/M) size fits neck sizes 26–35 cm. Measure around the middle of the neck, not too tight, and your child won't spend the whole warm-up tugging at it.
