Ice skating gear

Other than clothing, there are some other types of ice skating gear that you have to consider using for training practice as well as your performances. Here, we will give you some suggestions on how to choose the right ice skating gear.

Ice skates

Ice skates are an essential piece of equipment for any performance. Getting the right ice skating gear is important and it may affect a skater’s performance. Ice skates have to match your skill level. Here are some points you need to be aware of when choosing your ice skates.

1. Choosing the right size: Make sure you buy ice skates that are the right size--not too large or too tight for your feet, otherwise you will not be able to move properly.
   
   
2. How to measure: Stand on the tape measure with your heel against the wall and measure from the back of the heel to the tip of the toe at the longest part of the foot.

3. Selecting the right fit: Make sure your ice skates don't pinch your feet to prevent injuries.

4. Storing your ice skates properly: Once you have stepped off the ice, be sure to wipe off the excess ice or water from the blades and boots.
   
   

Helmet

Another piece of ice skating gear that you have to consider purchasing is a helmet.

The main purpose of wearing a helmet is to protect your head from any type of injury. Make sure that you have proper measurements of your head to ensure the proper fit. Regardless of which style of helmet you choose, well-fitting helmets should include protective padding--it shouldn’t shift around while skating or moving.

Boot covers

Ice skate boot covers protect your boots from damage. They are usually made of nylon and lycra, which make the covers flexible and fit all skates. The fabrics are specially treated. They can absorb moisture from inside, which can evaporate quickly. Boots covers are available in a variety of colours at XAMAS.
