2022 Lacrosse Season Apparel
Tri3 Hardgear is proud to partner with the Okotoks Raiders Lacrosse and provide apparel for the 2022 lacrosse season. We understand that the past couple of years provided some significant challenges to overcome, and that this year continues to see those obstacles. The apparel we are providing is something a little out of the box and we hope that you like it. As this partnership continues to develop, we will see some very exciting things coming!
PRODUCT INFORMATION
This year, we have three different types of apparel available that we really hope will compliment every player and every budget!
The first, SUBLIMATED, is all custom-made apparel produced in our European facility. Sublimation is one of the most modern printing technologies which enables us to embed almost any graphic into a lot of different materials. The thermo-chemical process that ensures the desired image is permanently “dyed” deeply into the material. Once the colour is in the material therefore, it is PERMANENT and is extremely resistant to abrasion, sweat, washing and sunlight. This gives us SIGNIFICANTLY better control, more options, and the ability to create some pretty cool designs with logos, sponsors (if there is one), names, numbers, etc.; there really is no limit to the choices available. It also lets us order an extra one here and there without any additional unreasonable time or cost.
The second, SILKSCREEN, is apparel that has been mass produced and is available off-the-shelf. While there are no specific options on the page, we have a plethora of items that we are able to source in various cuts and colours. Because silkscreened items have a minimum of 15, we’ve purposefully left them out of the catalogue unless there has been a specific request by a team. In discussion with the RAIDERS Executive, we all agree that because teams have sponsor logos and extra graphics to add to the apparel, sublimation is a better option because all of these variables add costs to silkscreen. Unfortunately, with silkscreen, we also have limited ability to add names, numbers, etc., so if there is a desire for that, it must be embroidered and will be quoted upon request.
The third, EMBROIDERY, is generally going to be for the hats and toques and stuff like that. We have provided a range of these products.
The catalogue may continue to evolve. We are always introducing new products and will be happy to design a few things for the Heat that compliment what we are already offering.
We’re sure that everyone is able to appreciate that we cannot provide an unlimited catalogue that makes every single item available. Having said that, if there is a special request or a call for a specific item, we will do our best to accommodate. If a team wants a shooter shirt that is designed specifically for them, or a different style of hat, please reach out to us and we’ll see what we can do!
ORDERING INFORMATION
The best (and truthfully easiest) way to get your order placed is to consolidate your teams order with your team Manager or designated apparel representative and reach out to us directly. That way, we can get your order in as fast as possible. Contact Dennis at +1-403-819-9000 or email [email protected] to get the order processed. There will be a lot of team orders, so please be patient as we work through this. We will assist you in making sure we have the right size, colours, cut, etc.
With SUBLIMATED apparel, orders will be placed at least once a week and the “store”, as it were, will remain open throughout the season, summer, fall, etc. You can order whenever you want! With SILKSCREEN and EMBROIDERY, there are not necessarily minimums, but the lower the quantity, the higher the cost of production. Therefore, we will be putting orders in every few weeks to accommodate this.
All orders must be paid in full prior to ordering. With credit processing fees, credit cards will be accepted, but eTransfer remains the best method of getting this done.

Women’s 1/4-Zip Teknical Shirt
With encouraged customer desire, we were asked to create a ¼-zip pullover that would be suitable for casual business AND also be versatile enough for sports. When designing it, we started with a raglan style shirt and added ventilation panels under the arms and at the back. We use a special Italian-made 8-way stretch fabric, high-quality zippers, and reflective stripes sewn into the shoulder seams. Lacrosse players and golfers have tested it and provided a resounding approval!
