H5s Pitch

Introduce a full pitch H5s concept based on:

• Base panel (fully recyclable);
• FIH approved FIKAGEAR H5s boarding (fully recyclable);
• H5s goals.

FIKAGEAR has developed three hockey 5s boarding versions.

We developed 3 versions. Two of them are FIH approved. The FIH approved G25 version is a lightweight version that is easy to set up and take down on existing large pitches. The boards can be lifted with 2 fingers. The U22 version is the same version but without a shock pad. The FIH approved T25 version is a heavy duty boarding for permanent use on a separate private field.
