But where are the party crackers?
I'd just try regular athletic pants. Lots of more interesting styles in those. You don't need something skating specific.
Knee, butt and hip pads? O.o
Yeah, and he's not the only one. You might feel the need as well once you get to your 40s and you start busting things when you fall.
Add head protection to that. I don't pad anything else yet, but if I get to axel, I might.
Yep, ice halo--I don't get on the ice without mine. One trip to the OR was enough.
You know, the one thing I've discovered during my journey into getting back into skating is the lack of interesting clothing for men. Don't get me wrong, us guys can be pretty boring but is it too much to ask for figure skating pants with a bit of color?I scooped mine up out of need and convenience and they're a simple pair of black figure skating pants. But does anyone know of any resources or places to get more interesting ones for guys? http://i63.tinypic.com/2me5vo4.jpgThe picture above is a good example. Is there anything like that for guys? Would it kill the market to give us a splash of color?Just asking
I thought the Halo looked to big and bulky. I have a Crasche band. It was $30 (now $40). For the first year after my concussion, coaches that weren't mine would make sure I was wearing it. I wear it every time I set foot. . .well, skate. . .on the ice. Unless I'm competing. I don't wear it then and I have to admit I feel kinda naked without it.
@Amy1984I have been shopping around a bit for athletic pants. Although finding a good pair that fits properly has been difficult. (Most of the place I go never seem to have my size. Despite being a general size.)
