Duzter is a father-and-son business that started when 14U hockey player Martin E. couldn’t find base layers that fit right or offered the coverage he needed. With support from his dad—a manufacturing engineer with over 25 years of experience—they created Duzter to offer high-performance, cut-resistant apparel made specifically for hockey players. What began as a youth-focused solution quickly grew into a brand trusted by players of all ages, including professionals. Duzter is the only brand offering position-specific base layers, including goalie baselayers (Duzter Wall), with BNQ-certified integrated neck guard and one of the widest size ranges in the sport. Our apparel has been worn on NHL ice since 2023, and in 2025, Duzter secured a deal with Mark Cuban on Shark Tank, helping expand our mission to reduce the risk of blade injuries, more accessible, and better fitted for everyone on the ice.

WHY we exist: To reduce blade injuries for everyone by ensuring that risk reduction doesn’t come at the cost of comfort, performance, or accessibility, giving every player the confidence to pursue their passion fully.

HOW we deliver: By creating high-quality cut-resistant compression base layers that integrate seamlessly into existing gear, designed by players for players, and priced to complement rather than burden hockey families’ existing investments.

WHAT we produce: Cut-resistant compression base layer apparel that covers critical areas for players of all ages and skill levels, from youth to professional leagues
