Elite Hockey Pro-Terry Soaker

Yes. The interior terry cloth lining is designed to wick away moisture immediately after you step off the ice, which is the primary cause of rust. For the best results, wipe your blades down with a towel before sliding the soakers on.

They offer some protection, but they are not designed for walking. The reinforced polypropylene web band on the bottom helps prevent chipping if you accidentally step on a hard surface, but you should still avoid walking in your skates whenever possible to keep your edges sharp.

Yes, you can machine wash them. We recommend washing them on a gentle cycle and letting them air dry to maintain the integrity of the elastic and the absorbent lining.

These soakers feature an elastic closure mechanism, which allows them to stretch and accommodate a wide range of hockey skate sizes. They are designed to provide a snug, secure fit for standard hockey blades.

Hard plastic guards are designed for walking around the rink, while these terry soakers are strictly for storage and transport. Soakers are superior for moisture management and rust prevention, whereas hard guards are better for protecting your blades from impact while walking.
