Skate guard

Hard and soft skate guards are covers used in ice hockey and figure skating that are worn over ice skate blades when the skater is off the ice. Plastic skate guards are used to keep the blades of skates sharp, and avoid any damage to blades when walking on other material. Fabric skate guards are used to prevent rusting on the blades after a session of ice skating. Hard guards are plastic used to keep the blades sharper for longer while walking short distances. Soft guards are used to make sure no moisture stays on the blades and allows rust to form on them.
