Ice Skate Guards Covers

Skate guards shield your blades from hard surfaces like concrete or locker room floors. Without guards, blades dull quickly, affecting your performance and requiring more frequent sharpening.

Hard guards are rigid and used when walking off the ice. Soakers are soft, absorbent covers used after skating to soak up moisture and protect blades from rust during storage.

Most guards are adjustable. Measure your blade length, cut the guard to size if necessary and secure it using the spring or strap provided. Ensure it clips securely so it doesn’t fall off while walking.

Yes, but they come in different shapes. Hockey guards are wider to fit curved hockey blades, while figure skate guards have a narrower channel to accommodate toe picks and thinner blades.

Rinse them with clean water and let them dry after each use. Avoid leaving them in damp bags, as moisture can transfer to your blades and cause rust.

No. Guards are not designed for skating. They are purely for protecting blades when you’re walking off the ice.

Soakers absorb moisture from melted ice, preventing rust. They also keep blades from rubbing against other gear in your bag, which can cause scratches.

After drying your boots and blades, place soakers over the blades and store the skates in a cool, dry place. Don’t leave hard guards on for long‑term storage, as they can trap moisture against the blades.
