Protection Engineered for Speed

Advanced Cut-Resistant Short Track Speed Skating Suits

Short track speed skating demands more than a tight fit and an aerodynamic look.

At high speed, close-contact racing, sharp corners, and unexpected crashes can expose athletes to one of the sport's most serious risks: contact with skate blades.

SlideStar® approaches protection as part of the garment architecture — not as an afterthought.

Our short track racing suits combine advanced cut-resistant materials, body-mapped protection zones, aerodynamic construction, and performance-oriented tailoring to help athletes stay protected without compromising mobility.

BUILT AROUND THREE CORE TECHNOLOGIES

01 — ChisuCutWeave™

Lightweight Cut-Resistant Fabric Platform

Protection should not mean unnecessary weight.

ChisuCutWeave™ is SlideStar's lightweight cut-resistant knitted fabric platform, developed for high-performance sportswear where protection, stretch, comfort, and mobility must work together.

The platform can be configured with different fabric weights, stretch characteristics, skin-contact constructions, and tested protection levels according to the intended application.

Instead of using one heavy fabric throughout the garment, SlideStar develops the material around the actual requirements of the sport.

Lightweight.

Flexible.

Protective.

Performance-driven.

Depending on the configuration, ChisuCutWeave™ can be developed for different protection requirements and applications across short track speed skating, ice hockey, karting, skiing, and other high-speed sports.

We do not use vague “cut-proof” claims.
We specify measurable performance based on applicable testing standards.

02 — ChisuProGuard™

Protection Where It Matters Most

A strong fabric alone does not make a high-performance protective suit.

The key question is:

Where does the athlete actually need protection?

ChisuProGuard™ is SlideStar's body-mapped protection system, designed around the different risk and movement characteristics of the human body.

High-risk areas can include:

Neck
Underarms
Groin
Hips
Knees
Lower legs
Ankles

Instead of treating the entire suit as one uniform layer, ChisuProGuard™ allows protection to be strategically distributed according to the application.

Our philosophy:

Protect more where the risk is higher.
Stay lighter where mobility and aerodynamics matter more.

This creates a better balance between protection, freedom of movement, comfort, and speed.

THREE PROTECTION CONFIGURATIONS

PGF — Full Body Protection

A full-body protective construction using ChisuCutWeave™ across the garment or protective base layer.

Ideal for:

National and provincial teams, high-performance athletes, competition applications, custom team programs, and athletes requiring comprehensive protection.

PGP — Partial Protection

Cut-resistant fabric is concentrated in key high-risk areas, while lightweight stretch and aerodynamic fabrics are used in lower-risk zones.

Ideal for:

Club teams, training programs, youth development, and performance-conscious customers seeking an efficient balance between protection and cost.

PGZ — Zoned Protection

Different areas of the garment can be designed with different protection levels.

High-risk areas receive stronger protection, while the rest of the garment is optimized for stretch, comfort, weight, and aerodynamics.

This is the SlideStar difference:

We don't simply design a suit.

We design a protection map for the athlete.

PGI — Removable Protection Inserts

Selected areas can be equipped with internal pockets for removable protective inserts.

This modular construction is particularly suitable for:

Youth development programs
Rental equipment
Multi-sport applications
Karting
Training systems
Growing athletes

Protective components can be inspected, replaced, or upgraded independently from the garment itself.

03 — PERFORMANCE FIT

Protection Should Never Fight the Athlete

Short track racing requires extreme body positioning.

Every seam, panel, stretch zone, and protective layer can affect movement.

SlideStar therefore combines protective materials with close-fitting performance patterns, strategically positioned stretch zones, and aerodynamic outer constructions.

The result is a suit designed to move with the athlete rather than against them.

Less restriction.

Better mobility.

Cleaner aerodynamic profile.

More confidence on the ice.

ONE PLATFORM. FOUR PERFORMANCE LEVELS.

Different athletes need different solutions.

A youth skater training several times a week does not have the same requirements as a national-team athlete preparing for international competition.

That's why SlideStar offers four product levels.

TRAIN

Built for Development

For: Youth athletes · Clubs · Dryland Training · Inline-to-Short-Track Transition

A practical balance of protection, comfort, stretch, durability, and cost.

The philosophy:

Build confidence first.

Build speed next.

PRO

Built for Competition

For: Competitive clubs · Provincial teams · Junior athletes · Adult leagues

A higher-performance construction combining enhanced cut resistance with optimized fit, mobility, durability, and wash stability.

The philosophy:

Compliance is the starting point.

Performance is the goal.

AERO

Built for Racing

For: High-performance teams · National-team training · Premium custom programs · Competition applications

A hybrid architecture combining protective inner layers with aerodynamic outer fabrics.

Protection inside.

Aerodynamics outside.

The protective layer stays close to the body, while the outer construction is optimized for movement and aerodynamic performance.

BASE

Your Invisible Line of Defense

For: Athletes using an aerodynamic outer shell · Ice hockey · Skiing · Karting · Multi-sport applications

A full-body cut-resistant base layer designed to work underneath other sport-specific garments.

The Base system allows protection to become part of the athlete's equipment system without changing the appearance of the outer garment.

Protection you feel.

Protection you don't have to see.

FROM FABRIC TO FINISHED SUIT

SlideStar's development system separates three things that are often treated as one:

MATERIAL

ChisuCutWeave™

The foundation for lightweight cut-resistant performance.

↓

PROTECTION

ChisuProGuard™

The system that determines where protection belongs.

↓

PRODUCT

Train · Pro · Aero · Base

The solution matched to the athlete, application, and budget.

This modular approach allows SlideStar to develop different products without reinventing the entire technology platform for every sport.

BEYOND SHORT TRACK

The technology developed for short track can be adapted to other high-speed sports where cut resistance, mobility, and performance are important.

Applications include:

Short Track Speed Skating
Cut-resistant racing suits and protective base layers.

Speed Skating
Performance suits for training and competition.

Ice Hockey
Protective base layers, neck protection, and team apparel.

Skiing
Protective underlayers and performance sportswear.

Karting
Protective inner garments and body-mapped solutions.

Inline Speed Skating
Performance racing suits with adaptable protection configurations.

This makes SlideStar more than a short track suit supplier.

We are building a modular protection platform for high-speed sports.

OUR DESIGN PRINCIPLE

We believe that safety and speed should not be treated as opposites.

The goal is not simply to make a garment thicker.

It is to understand:

Where protection is needed.
Where flexibility is needed.
Where weight can be reduced.
Where aerodynamic performance matters.

Then build the garment accordingly.

The right protection.

In the right place.

At the right weight.

For the right athlete.
