Disclosed is outerwear for sports played on ice. The outerwear having an outer shell and one or more gripper sections positioned on the outer shell. The one or more gripper sections being made from a material with a coefficient of kinetic friction on ice that is greater than the coefficient of kinetic friction between the outer shell and ice. Raised portions, in the form of three-dimensional geometric shapes, can be positioned on or integrated with the gripper sections to provide additional gripping ability. In the event of a fall on the ice, the gripper sections will come into contact with the ice surface to slow the wearer down compared to if the user fell without the gripper sections.
