CRS Cross Ice Skate Guards, Soakers & Towel. Complete Skating Care Set

These are perfect for what I needed, the guards are easy to put together and everything in the set matches perfectly. The color is true to what is advertised. I ordered the teal.

These are great. I love the cloth to dry the blades. I like it so much I bought another set in black.

After picking up ice skating as a hobby this year, I quickly realized that taking care of my vintage skates was extremely important to maintaining them as long as possible, so after looking at options, I snagged this gift set for myself. The soakers are extremely no-frills, and the towel is as well, but both have done a great job of drying off my skates after ice time. The color options are great and they look even better in person! I would definitely make sure you measure your skates and reference the size chart to ensure you get the right size soakers, but if you do, they will be a great fit. The pro shop at my rink was able to cut the hard guards to size for me, so I didn't have to worry about doing it myself, and all the items in this set are extremely straightforward to use. I can't speak to their durability, as I haven't had them long, but I have confidence that these items will stand the test of time.

I purchased these to fit a women's size 9 figure skate. They fit, but just barely so really measure your skates if you have a larger size. The plastic skate guards come disassembled and were a bit challenging to put together. Otherwise the soft guard and hard guards work great! The fabric is absorbent and have kept my blades rust free. The color is exactly as pictured. After 4 months of use they have held up well.

Love these guards. Easy to install, you just need a Phillips head screwdriver. Very easy to walk with. Durable

The soakers are absorbent and durable, and the blade guards fit well even on hockey-style blades (although a little less secure than on figure skating blades). For walking between a prep area like a locker room and the ice, they're perfect. Guards can be a little finicky to put together but the instructions are very clear. Make sure the screws face opposite directions and screw them in all the way with the springs fitted, so the springs move down the screws and sit snugly against the plastic. The included cloth is fine. It's absorbent enough, but it's really just extra on top of what you're buying, which are the soakers and the guards.

If your skates are shorter than 12.5” and you can find/afford guards that fit that by default, definitely get those instead of these. I knew I may have to cut them since my skates are a size 3.5, but it was much more difficult than expected. I ended up using a steak knife since I don’t have a saw (the video shows a serrated bread knife), and I attached a photo to show how inconsistent it can look at the point where the guards meet. The product itself is good, except for the color. The guards themselves match pretty well to the Ruby I ordered, but the towel and the soakers are disappointingly muted. Much more like a burgundy, even in direct lighting.

Protects my skates great

Indoor ice skating

I got the green set and the black set. I fricken love these sets. I have a women’s size 9 skate and the gap is minimal in the middle. The blades are well protected too. The soakers and the wiping cloth are super soft and thick so even when they are used against the blades, I don’t feel like my hand will be cut open.

Large enough for Adult Men's skates. Hard to put together.

A bit snug on my 4 year old's skates, so probably won't last long. But good quality otherwise.

Really good kit for your figure skates. Comes with a towel to wipe skates dry after practice, plus a soft plush skate soaker for storage and also of course the hard guards. The one I bought was a sparkling pink one that my daughter LOVES and it just adds that tiny little detail any child will adore. The guards need to be cut to your child's skate length. There is a useful youtube video made by crs that shows you how to measure and cut. Honestly it's common sense. When you cut them a small tip is to use a mitre saw if you have one. This makes for super clean cuts. The plastics sorta " melt " when you use a high speed saw so it makes it look prettily OEM cuts. Another tip I can offer is, if you're putting them on youth skates you will absolutely 100% find that the guards bend up too much and prevents the skate from properly sitting on the guards flat. I actually had to also cut a decent chunk off the tips of the front and back bends to make the guard sit properly to the blade and fit snug. If you don't do this your youth skates will not seat up and line up flush to the guards . After custom cutting the guards they fit snug and they do not fall off when walking. Perfect For the record the skates in the picture are youth size 1B. And those needed custom cutting on the front and back tips alongside length. These are outstanding. --- update... after a couple years, the product held up well. i cut too much for fitting her previous skates so i needed a new set for her next size up. excellent guards -- highly recommend.
