Collection: Skate Pad Sets

To stay safe while skating, it's crucial to wear the proper gear to protect yourself from falls and injuries.

Helmet: A helmet is the most important piece of safety gear. It protects your head from serious injury in case of falls or impacts.

Wrist Guards: Wrist guards are essential for protecting your wrists, which are vulnerable during falls, especially in street skating.

Elbow Pads: Elbow pads help protect against scrapes and fractures during falls, especially in park or vert skating.

Knee Pads: Knee pads provide protection for your knees when landing tricks or falling on hard surfaces.

Pads (Optional): Some skaters also wear hip, tailbone, and shin pads for extra protection.

Tip: While wearing all safety gear may feel restrictive at first, it’s a small price to pay for protecting yourself from injuries, especially if you’re just starting out or attempting new tricks.

Over time, your safety gear can lose its effectiveness due to wear and tear. It's important to replace gear when it no longer provides adequate protection.

Helmet: Replace a helmet immediately if it's been involved in a fall, even if no visible damage is seen. Helmets lose their protective ability after an impact and can no longer absorb shocks effectively.

Pads: Elbow and knee pads should be replaced if they’ve lost their padding or become cracked or damaged. If the straps are worn out or the pads don’t fit securely anymore, it’s time for new ones.

Wrist Guards: If wrist guards have stretched out or the protective padding has compressed, replace them. If they’ve been involved in a hard fall, their protective features may be compromised.

Tip: Regularly check your gear for signs of wear. Even if it doesn’t look worn, it may not offer the same level of protection after extensive use.

Proper fit is crucial for maximizing the effectiveness of your safety gear. Ill-fitting gear won’t provide the protection you need and can be uncomfortable.

Helmet: Ensure the helmet fits snugly but comfortably on your head. It should sit level and cover the forehead without being too tight. It should not move when you shake your head. Look for an adjustable dial or straps for a customizable fit.

Pads: Choose elbow, knee, and wrist pads that fit snugly but don’t restrict movement. Pads should stay in place when you skate and not slide down. Make sure the straps are secure but not too tight.

Tip: Always refer to the manufacturer’s sizing guide to ensure you’re selecting the right size for your measurements. It's also a good idea to try on gear in person when possible to get the best fit.

Yes, if you’re just starting out in skating, wearing full protective gear is highly recommended to prevent injuries and boost your confidence.

Helmet: Always wear a helmet when learning to skate. Look for a helmet with a good fit and safety certifications (e.g., CPSC, ASTM).

Pads: For beginners, it’s highly recommended to wear elbow pads, knee pads, and wrist guards. These will help protect you from common falls while you’re learning basic techniques.

Tip: Start with full safety gear when practicing in areas like ramps or streets where you’re more likely to fall. As you become more comfortable, you can gradually scale back on gear, but always keep your helmet.
