At Skate Bootique, you’ll find a range of protective equipment for figure skating that offers increased safety and comfort during training. Whether you’re a beginner, experienced skater, or working on challenging technical elements, protection can be a useful supplement – though always a personal choice.

We offer different types of protection that help reduce the risk of impact, pressure, and scrapes during falls and intense use. The items listed below are just some of the available options.

Types of Protective Gear – A Selection

Crash Pants – Extra padding for hips and tailbone

Crash pants feature built-in padding around the hips and tailbone, often used during jump, spin, or fall training. They are flexible and allow for free movement.

Gel Protection – Comfort inside the skate boot

Gel pads, sleeves, and tubes are used to protect sensitive areas on the feet and ankles from pressure and friction inside the boot. Particularly helpful with new or stiff skates.

HALO Head Protection – Lightweight impact absorption

HALO is a soft, lightweight head protection system worn like an elastic cap, providing cushioning in the event of falls. It’s a discreet alternative to traditional helmets, especially popular with children and beginners.

There are many types of protection for figure skating – these are just a few examples. The choice depends entirely on your individual needs and comfort preferences.

When to Use Protection?

The use of protective gear in figure skating varies from skater to skater. Some choose to use it in specific training phases, while others prefer to skate without. Common situations include:

While learning new jumps or technical elements

For children and beginners seeking extra reassurance

When breaking in new, stiff boots

During rehabilitation or for injury prevention
