Review on ๐Ÿ”’ Ultimate Protection for NHL Ice Skates: Franklin Sports Ice Skate Blade Cover & Skate Guard by Paul Tilden

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Does the job, and pretty well too.

These Franklin Sports knife covers are exactly as described. Reinforced with an additional strip of nylon to provide adequate coverage where the blade meets the cap. The interior is lined with soft polyester fleece that wicks moisture away from the blades and prevents rusting. Finally, the elastic cuff allows self-adjustment to skate blades of different sizes. Now that all the specs and aspects are out of the way, let's move on to practicality and usage. Fit. These sleeves come in three sizes: youth (sizes 8-13); junior (size 1-5); Senior (5.5-12) and I would say they are true to size. The junior size could accommodate a maximum blade length of 11 inches (narrow), which means it even fits those adjustable boot skates (big kids sizes 4-8). Convenience. Because it is a material coating on the blade, it can be folded or compressed without being damaged.When you are on an open rink, you can safely traverse areas of poor coverage knowing your blades are protected. Guards easily stow in pockets while out on the ice Price: Blade guards can range in price from $6 to $15. They're at the top of the spectrum, but part of that is due to the fact that they're officially licensed by the NHL, which means they receive royalties. All in all, these Franklin Sports Skate Blade Cases do the job of keeping everything in your bag off your blades. , adjustable) and denier material l they use durable. As a last resort, I would pay MSRP; but if you can, wait to sell. They would be a great value at less than $10! Because I can't think of a feature that's missing, haven't noticed anything wrong with their design, and because they used quality materials in their construction, I'm giving them 5 stars.

Pros
  • WATERPROOF: Inner lining absorbs moisture from melted ice or excess water to prevent blade rust. Once the runners start to rust, skating becomes increasingly difficult, so it is important to treat the runners with impeccable care.
Cons
  • old
