Terry cloth skate blade covers

These soft covers protect skate blades from nicks and rust while absorbing moisture after skating sessions.

Terry cloth skate blade covers, often called soakers, are a small, practical gift for anyone who skates regularly. They suit figure skaters, hockey players and skating kids, since they soak up moisture and keep blades from knocking into other gear in the bag.

Why terry cloth skate blade covers make a good gift

  • Soakers are small and inexpensive-looking, which makes them an easy stocking stuffer.
  • Skaters often lose or wear out soakers, so a spare pair is welcome.
  • Fun colours and patterns let skaters show a bit of personality at the rink.

What to look for

  • Match the soaker size to the blade length, since youth and adult sizes differ.
  • Check whether the elastic opening fits figure skates, hockey skates or both.
  • See whether the covers are machine washable for easy cleaning after use.

Questions people ask

Can skaters walk in terry cloth blade covers?
No, soakers are for storing skates after use. Hard skate guards are the type meant for walking to and from the ice.
What size soakers should I buy?
Soakers usually come in youth and adult sizes based on blade length, so compare the size chart with the skater's skate size.
