Blade GTY Base Layer Long Sleeve Youth

The fit was totally different than their other shirts in the same size. The neck part couldn’t even get over my son’s head. Very odd.

No more Velcro ! Shirt fits great with more protection then others.

Absolutely magnificent cutguard jersey, fits like a glove, no hassle with velcro, booth my little hockeyplayers use the GTY. If you are looking for a durable comfy cut resistant jersey look no further.

Shirt and materials are really nice, but similar to other reviews, it was way too difficult to get my son’s head through the neck opening. So we switched to the velcro version instead.

This would have been our 4th or 5th shirt. However I had to return the XL, as it seems the head hole is (was) smaller than the others we have previously ordered (both L and XL) as my son has grown. Waiting from the return to see if the product team reaches out, maybe this was a 1 off??

The shirt is really good quality etc. The only downside is the really short neck guard. We have even tried bigger sizes but the neck guard exposes too much of my sons neck compared to Bauer.

Got this shirt originally for my son and ended up getting for me as well (as I get back into playing). Super comfortable and functional. Grip on elbow is perfect, and neck guard fit just right (not too tight and not too loose). Fabric feels amazing and does a great job moisture wicking. Only base layer I will buy going forward.

I was very desperate to get these, so when there’s no more senior size small, I purchased the junior xl. Overall it’s the best I’ve ever seen on the market. So when there’s senior size small is available again, I’ll definitely buy a proper sized set. Love the material around the wrist, which is the same material as the wrist guard I bought in the same order.

The fit in this was great and we love the non Velcro neck option, but really dislike the "sticky" arms.
After 2 practices, my son stopped using this because of the arm texture. He dislikes how it made putting on his equipment difficult and how it interacted with his elbow pads while playing. He also hated taking this shirt off because it was incredibly difficult once sweaty. Bummer because of the cost.

If they were available without the textured arms he would have appreciated it.
If your elbow pads fit properly and are put on properly, you don't need sticky elbows .

Otherwise the shirt fit well and felt good on.

This doesnt impact rating: We'd also love this shirt as a short sleeve option for our goalie. She hates along arms in her goalie armor but wants he longer turtle neck style under her goalie neck guard.

The kid loves wearing them. He even wants to wear them when not playing hockey. Says they are very comfortable. Material feels fantastic. 6 yrs old and went with a small. Great fit. Yah the neck is a little snug getting off but that’s to be expected. Love the product.

This is a good product, but only that why not included in Black Friday discount?

This evo long sleeve shirt is for my 6 year old grandson. I am very pleased with the quality and safety it brings with it!
Thank You

Good quality and great fit

Got two of these now and they were delivered fast and look to be really quality pieces. One wash so far and everything came through just fine. Hoping it proves to continue to last!

This is an absolutely fantastic base layer and offers great protection. My only gripe with it is that the opening at the top of the shirt is really tight to get my sons head in and out of it (especially given the nature of the stiffer fabric used/needed for the cut protection). Although I know it needs to be on the tighter side, this seems like it’s a bit too tight and it hurts him a little bit when taking it off. That being said, the quality is top notch and the grip on the sleeves is awesome to help keep his elbow pads in place. My ask is to see if the top opening could be expanded about another inch to help provide relief when getting the shirt on, but more specifically off.

Only negative would be getting the head through the hole...
Maybe my son has a big head but really has to force it through....
Shirt fits good, maybe even a little big so definitely couldn't go down in size.

Kids love it. The neck protection and wrist protection are superb. We wanted a shirt without velcro and this one is perfect.

I bought the youth XL base layers it was the best fit for me and I wasn’t disappointed. The base layer is incredibly soft. The ventilation under the arms works well. The neck guard element stretches easily when placing it over my head. There isn’t anything about this, that I don’t like. I have used the product four times in the last two weeks and I am more than happy with it and would recommend it to anyone wanting a base layer with a neck guard and slash resistant wrists.

My son loves it. The fit is perfect. We followed the suggestion to go down a size for a tighter fit and it was bang on.

I got my 4-year-old son this shirt as well as the Bauer similar shirt that has a Velcro at the back.
After wearing both of them I asked him which one he preferred, and he said the Bauer one.
That being said, it looks good and seems well made. My only regret with it is that the neck protection is a bit low and doesn’t really cover the whole neck contrary to the Bauer one.
He is 116 cm tall, weighs about 20kg and bought the XS size. The shirt fits ok but is on the larger side as one could expect.
He has to push his head through the collar a bit, but it’s doable. Not so sure how a 7 year-old kid goes through it though.
He still wears both of them but I would give him the Bauer shirt on game days as it covers the neck more.

My 13 year old has three of these shirts now and loves them. Amazing quality!

Looks like great quality and fits my kid great.

Love this for 5 year old granddaughter with long hair. She was always complaining that the other shirts with velcro where getting caught in her hair. No complaints with the Aycane shirt. Much more comfortable and has areas with cut resistant areas on the wrists closer to her hand than the other shirts she had before.

With the new rule that all US hockey players have to wear neck protection we've tried multiple base layer shirts. This has been, by far, the best shirt my son has worn. We've tried several others, some costing twice as much, and none were as comfortable.
The "easy entry" without any velcro is an absolute game changer for my son.

My son loves it. Says it like having nothing at all but with all the safety features

Love the neck & wrist protection. Went up to larger size based on what was recommended. For perfect with the larger size

My son is on the spectrum and plays goalie, sometimes skates out as defenseman.. but has VERY specific requirements in the way his clothing fits and feels.. Up until now, we’ve been throwing money away chasing several different brands/styles to find something that wasn’t a battle to get him to wear, especially since he also has long, curly hair, that’s been its own battle with other brands’ design (Velcro neck)...
AYCANE has been a life saver for us! I saw the ad for the ‘Velcro-less neck entry’ and that was worth ‘trying’. But I was convinced I was just ‘trying it’ and it would end up in the same pile as the rest of his Kevlar-type shirts. But it ended up a HUGE hit! So we added the same sock line and then the pants and went back and ordered a second set of everything too!..
My kid has never been so happy getting dressed for hockey! He LOVES these shirts! No more hair gummed up in the Velcro or stressing out over laundering them either..
They are silky smooth, no “itchy seams” or Velcro to scratch, the fit is perfect fit, it truly does wick away sweat & keep him SUPER cool during play.. name it- it does it! I had originally bought the 2nd shirt intending to use it when he has back-to-back games/ tourneys (like the 6-game in 1 day tourney we just played).. Not only was he super cool, he didn’t need to change out! The same shirt lasted the whole day and REALLY helped keep the expensive gear drier and much less stinky! So having a backup is now just peace of mind in case the 1st gets lost or is still in laundry.
Don’t just get a shirt to try.. GO AHEAD AND BUY MULTIPLE!!! You’ll be so glad you did!

*note, I had 2 more orders with 2 more brands when I first ordered the AYCANE.. I have gone back to cancel those orders and resold all the other brand shirts we already had because I have found the winner!! My kid will never wear anything else! Thanks Aycane!!!*

My son loves the fit and the not having velcro on his neck scratching him is a plus.

The jersey came after a couple of days, very fast. The size good and material/design was improved compared to the previous jersey we had

My 7 year old son loves that the neck guard is built in. Comfortable and provides protection.
