Women's clothing for ice skating

Thermal Clothing for Women

A dry body can retain warmth much longer than a wet body, so it’s essential to wear clothing that can wick away perspiration. Thermal clothing has this ability, allowing it to regulate body temperature so you won’t get too hot or too cold. Long-sleeved thermal shirts are especially popular with skaters; the flexible fabric allows for full freedom of movement and helps retain body heat.

Skating Jacket for Women

Like thermal clothing, a skating jacket should also wick moisture away to keep the body dry and warm. Additionally, it’s important for the jacket to be windproof, allowing body heat to stay trapped inside. Are you skating outdoors? Consider the weather conditions. If it’s snowing, make sure to wear a skating jacket that is both wind- and waterproof!

Skating Pants for Women

Skating pants come as either salopettes or tights. The salopette has two straps that go over the shoulders, keeping the pants securely in place and providing extra warmth for the back. The skating tight features a waistband around the hips or waist, ensuring they stay up securely as well. Skating pants are typically available in two materials: thermal or Lycra. Thermal skating pants are warmer, while Lycra skating pants are more flexible.

Tip

Skating outdoors in chilly wind? Consider wearing thermal pants under your skating pants to keep your leg muscles comfortably warm!
