Howies Hockey Skate Guards

Howies Hockey Skate Guards

The Howies Hockey Skate Guards are designed to protect your hockey skate blades once you leave the ice. Used during transport and storage, they provide a protective layer around the steel to help prevent damage to the blade and its sharpened edges.

More than a simple storage accessory, the Howies Skate Guards combine durable construction with an absorbent interior designed to manage residual moisture after skating.

Protection for hockey skate blades

Properly sharpened skate blades are essential for reliable performance on the ice. During transport, unprotected steel can come into contact with other equipment inside your hockey bag and potentially damage the edges.

The Howies hockey skate blade guards surround the blade and help protect it against scratches, impacts and off-ice damage.

They also help prevent direct contact between the skate steel and other equipment stored inside your hockey bag.

Help preserve your skate sharpening

Using hockey skate blade protectors during transport helps protect the sharpened edges against contact that could prematurely affect the quality of your sharpening.

The Howies Hockey Skate Guards are particularly useful after sharpening and when transporting your skates between the rink and home.

Heavy-duty absorbent terry cloth

Water and moisture can remain on your skate blades after a practice or game. Howies uses a dense heavy-duty terry cloth lining designed to absorb excess moisture from the steel.

This absorbent construction helps keep hockey skate blades drier during storage and helps reduce the risk of rust.

For best results, always wipe your skate blades thoroughly before installing your Howies absorbent skate guards.

Reinforced blade protection

The Howies Hockey Skate Guards feature a reinforced design engineered to provide additional cushioning and protection around the skate steel.

Interior and exterior blade protection strips reinforce the areas exposed to the blade and provide additional protection during transport and storage.

Double-stitched for durability

Howies uses a double-stitched construction to improve durability during regular hockey use.

This robust construction makes the Howies skate blade covers particularly suitable for players who regularly transport their skates between practices, games and home.

Moisture management and rust prevention

Combining physical blade protection with a moisture-absorbing interior provides an important advantage when caring for hockey skate steel.

After the blades have been wiped dry, the Howies absorbent skate guards help absorb residual moisture and therefore help reduce conditions that can promote corrosion.

Player identification area

The Howies Hockey Skate Guards include an identification area that can be used to personalise your equipment.

Players can add their player number, making their skate guards easier to identify in a locker room where several players may use similar accessories.

Designed for transport and storage

The Howies textile skate guards are ideal for protecting skate blades inside a hockey bag after the steel has been properly dried.

They provide protection during hockey skate transport and storage and are a practical accessory for players looking to take care of their skate steel and sharpened edges.

Important: not designed for walking

The Howies Hockey Skate Guards are intended for blade protection during transport and storage. They are not designed for walking while wearing your skates.

If you need to walk off the ice while wearing your skates, use rigid skate guards specifically designed to support walking.

Why choose Howies Hockey Skate Guards?

The Howies Hockey Skate Guards perform two important functions: they help physically protect the skate blades during transport while also absorbing residual moisture after use.

Their absorbent terry cloth helps manage moisture around the steel, while the reinforced construction helps protect sharpened blades against off-ice damage.

For hockey players looking to protect their skate edges, maintain their equipment and safely transport their skates, the Howies hockey skate blade guards are a practical addition to any hockey bag.

Care and use recommendations

After every practice or game, thoroughly wipe your skate blades dry before fitting the Howies absorbent skate guards.

Once at home, avoid leaving wet skate guards permanently on the steel. Allow both your skates and blade guards to dry properly so accumulated moisture can evaporate.

Regular blade care combined with absorbent hockey skate guards helps keep your equipment protected between sessions.
