When it comes to hockey uniforms, socks are more than just an accessory — they’re essential for performance, comfort, and team identity. Athletic Knit offers two top-tier options that serve very different needs: the HS630 Knitted Fabric Hockey Sock and the HS2100 Cut & Sew Pro Hockey Sock. Here's a clear breakdown to help you pick the right one for your team.

🧶 HS630 – Knitted Fabric Hockey Sock

The HS630 is made from durable polyester knitted fabric, offering a classic look and soft feel that many players swear by.

Key Features:

  • Material: knitted fabric
  • Construction: One-piece design, tube-style
  • Design: Stripes are integrated directly into the fabric
  • Fit: Loose and flexible, easily fits over shin pads

The HS630 provides a lightweight, breathable option with a slightly looser fit. It’s the go-to choice for players who love the traditional feel or need something that accommodates all levels of play.

Pros:

  • Soft and breathable knitted fabric
  • Traditional hockey sock look
  • Comfortable stretch over gear
  • Affordable and reliable

Things to Consider:

  • Not as form-fitting
  • May need tape or sock tabs to hold securely

✂️ HS2100 – Cut & Sew Pro Hockey Sock

The HS2100 steps it up with a tapered, performance-driven fit made from Athletic Knit’s AK-Knit material — a tough, breathable polyester designed for the modern game.

Key Features:

  • Material: AK-Knit (durable polyester with moisture-wicking)
  • Construction: Cut & sew panel design for shape and structure
  • Design: Allows for more complex and professional striping styles
  • Fit: Snug, pro-level fit that stays in place

These are the socks used in high-level competitive and pro settings. The construction offers more shape and support, making them perfect for fast, aggressive play.

Pros:

  • Tapered, compression-style fit
  • Velcro tabs to secure to jocks
  • Sleek, modern look with pro-style striping
  • Excellent durability and structure

Things to Consider:

  • Less stretch and airflow than knitted socks
  • Slightly heavier feel
  • Higher price point
