Added confidenceWearing protective gear helps skaters feel more confident regardless of their skating abilities. It is always better to let the hard shells absorb the impact instead of your knees, elbows or wrists. The high impact caps have the right amount of protection with flexibility to allow for proper skating. |
Enjoyable skatingAnatomically designed pads with proper cushioning give skaters additional comfort without feeling restricted while skating. Right/Left specific pads wrap and fit better around the elbows, knees and wrists. |
Reliable closureThe strap system keeps the pads in place on the body during all skating movements. The sock liner wraps around the body while the straps adjust the strength of the closure for a more secure fit. |
Labeled Right and LeftConveniently labeled right and left logos on each pad. Clear labels make finding the correct pad easy. Labels also prevent putting the pads on the wrong wrist, elbow or knee. In addition, labels make pairing the pads up after skating easy. |
Benefits Of Inline Skating
Improves coordination, agility & dynamic balance (balance while your body is in motion).
Increases Core Strength- Postural, abdominal, and back extensor muscles, get a great workout while skating.
Builds Aerobic Exercise Benefits- increases your heart rate and gets your lungs working, both components in aerobic exercise.
Builds Anaerobic Exercise Benefits- Inline skating provides anaerobic benefits, such as muscle strengthening and toning.
Weight Loss and Maintenance- Inline skating at 10mph on a regular basis not only burns about 6 calories a minute, or 360 calories an hour, but also turns fat into muscle - a double benefit.
Low Impact Exercise- While skating has the bone density enhancing benefits of being a weight bearing activity, the smooth push and glide motion has minimal impact on the joints.
Increases Self-Confidence- Probably the greatest fitness benefit of all is that inline skating is fun and gives you a sense of accomplishment as you tackle new fitness challenges.
Protective Gear
Inline skating is a fun and exhilarating activity but like other sports can include accidental falls or spills. Wear the protective gear whenever possible to help increase confidence as well as protect the body. Rollerblade has helmets and a great selection of pads to choose from. Skate Gear offers quality protection at a value price.
X-Gear 3-packs (wristguards, knee pads, elbow pads) introduce technical materials and elevated anatomical design for superior protection from the pavement.
