Instructions
Step 1
When traveling to an indoor ice rink, check the temperature there. The skating rinks can be very cold in winter, so dressing should be the same as an outdoor skating rink, depending on the weather. Whereas the ice rinks in large sports centers are very warm. There, some visitors ride in light, short-sleeved T-shirts.
Step 2
Prepare your skates and covers. Do not forget about the rules for caring for them. Lace the skates tight enough so that the leg is firmly fixed. That being said, you shouldn't overdo it. On the indoor skating rink, skates are worn on a warm woolen sock.
Step 3
Give preference to thermal underwear. It allows the skin to breathe and does not collect excess moisture. You can also wear a turtleneck made of nylon and thin woolen knit under the outerwear. Woolen underwear is very comfortable. wool itself is a hygroscopic, absorbent, warm material. In addition, the healing properties of wool become your protectors against falls and injuries on the rink.
Step 4
The optimal type of clothing for an indoor skating rink is comfortable equipment that does not restrict movement and does not distract from the main activity. Choose a warm sports suit. It is good if it has water-repellent properties. It can be tight, but not restricting movements, leggings, jeans, etc. You can ride in skirts, dresses and shorts. The main thing is that you do not freeze or overheat. When choosing trousers, follow the basic rule: they should not be too long and wide, so as not to fall on the teeth of the skate.
Step 5
Be sure to bring gloves with you. They may not be as warm as for outdoor riding, but they are essential. In case of a possible fall, they will protect your hands. You can take mitts with you. But a scarf, especially a long one, is better not to take. This is dangerous. It can cause injury by ruining your skating rink.
