    Buy skate protection

    Whether you're a beginner or a professional, young or old, flexible or stiff as a board: every roller skater needs protection. Not only to prevent injuries from falls (and trust us, you will fall), but also to push your limits.

    At Sucker Punch Skate Shop, you can choose from a wide range of protective skate gear from well-known brands that only offer top-quality. Helmets, 3-packs for wrists, elbows, and knees, specific protection for roller derby or skate parks—you’ll find it all here. Make your selection and order easily online, or visit our store in Ghent for personal advice. Questions? Ask Sucker Punch Skate Shop, we're happy to help with expertise and enthusiasm.

    Your Safety, Our Skate Protection

    You often see videos on social media of skaters not wearing protection. What you don’t see is the misery that comes from skating without protective gear. The surface of your skating area is harder than you think, which means the risk of injury is high—especially in roller derby and skate parks.

    Wearing protection is crucial when skating, especially for roller skating. Unlike with skateboards, you can’t just jump off when you collide with an obstacle or another skater. Fortunately, wearing the right protection reduces your injury risk to almost zero.

    Nothing’s worse than heading out smiling and then coming home covered in bruises and scrapes. With our protective clothing, your skating adventure won’t end at the ER. Plus, the right gear gives you confidence to push your limits, try new tricks, and skate even faster.

    Extensive Range of Skate Protection

    Falling is part of roller skating, whether you’re a beginner or an experienced skater trying a new trick. When you lose balance, your hands and arms instinctively reach out for support. That's why investing in high-quality wrist and elbow protection is a must.

    If you fall, your knees are often the first to hit the ground, and it can happen fast. Knee pads are, therefore, far from unnecessary. And don't forget the most important piece of your protective gear: your skate helmet, which protects your head from hard hits and collisions.

    At Sucker Punch Skate Shop, you’ll find all kinds of skate protection, and more:

    What to Look for When Buying Skate Protection

    We offer protective gear both individually and in sets (for wrists, elbows, and knees). In most cases, the quality of individual protection pieces is better. Sets offer basic protection at lower price ranges and solid protection for ‘starters’ in slightly pricier sets.

    Your skating style is also a key factor when buying protection. Just cruising outdoors? Basic protection will do. For roller derby, you’ll need higher quality gear. Don’t forget, this intense sport also challenges your gear with all the sideways sliding on the ground.

    Protection is most important, but comfort is also crucial. There’s no point in protecting your head with a helmet that gives you a headache after 30 minutes. Fortunately, at Sucker Punch Skate Shop, we only carry products made from elastic, breathable fabrics with comfortable ergonomic designs. They offer maximum protection while giving you plenty of freedom to move. Check out the size charts for each product to choose the best fit. Or visit our physical store in Ghent to try on your gear first.

    Bonus tip: Maintain your protective gear properly. Let it air out after use and apply Fresh Gear to prevent unpleasant odors. Replace your gear in time and stay safe!
