The Flex Protect Pro is a neck guard, the soft collar that sits around the throat under a player's jersey. Howies rates the material at ANSI A8 cut resistance and states that it exceeds USA Hockey and BNQ standards for neck laceration protection. Those are the figures Howies publishes for it.
The collar is soft and breathable rather than stiff, with moisture-wicking fabric against the skin and reinforced seams through the build. The shape is cut to follow the neck, so it stays where you put it instead of riding up under the chin. Most players who go without a neck guard skip it because the cheap ones chafe or sit too high, and this one is built to be worn without thinking about it.
It comes in three sizes, and the ranges are narrow enough that it is worth measuring rather than guessing by age. The sizing tab has the full chart. This suits any player or goalie who wants cut protection at the neck, and any parent who wants it on their kid for every skate rather than only the ones they remember.
