Protective skate equipment is a pre-requisite of participation in any form of roller skating or ice skating and we always advise all competitors, whether young or old, novice or experienced, to ensure that no corners are cut and no risks are taken when it comes to the provision of products such as skate helmets and skating pads. Skating is one of those sports where it is first necessary to know how to control speed and stop before any more complicated skills are attempted and because skaters can move at considerable speeds, impacts with fellow competitors and obstacles can be very dangerous. Our comprehensive range of skate helmets includes some brilliant Stateside models which offer a comfortable fit, great value for money and are fully safety certified. Available in black, blue, pin, red, white or camouflage, you can have a helmet to suit every mood or several helmets, for example, kitting out a roller hockey team. Head injuries can be serious, so it is important to invest in one of these products if you have not already done so.

Our other protective skate equipment products include wicked Stateside wrist guards, skating pads from Xcess and SFR for men and women, and kids full protection kits which include every pad necessary for a safe and secure skating session.

If you are a parent who is encouraging your kid to take up any skating sport, we urge you to emphasise that they must always put safety first and follow proper procedure before they start to skate. After the pads and helmets are in place, the fun can really begin and we know that there is no stopping an enthusiastic skater once they catch the bug!
