What the AI looks for in Girls' Ice Skating Pants
- Over-the-boot hem
- Choose a hem that drapes over the top of the boot or has a stirrup or boot strap. Do not tuck the pants into the boot. Tucked fabric creates pressure points and changes the boot's fit and ankle flex.
- Thermal stretch fabric
- Prefer a brushed fleece-backed stretch knit such as Polartec Power Stretch over cotton or plain thin leggings. Rinks are cold, and the pants need to stay warm when damp after falls while still allowing full splits and spirals.
- Inseam and rise fit
- Size so the hem reaches the boot top while standing in skates and the waistband stays put in a deep knee bend. Pants that are too short expose the ankle. Pants that are too long get caught under the blade.
- Flat seams and waistband
- Look for flat or flatlock seams and a wide, soft waistband. Seams press against the skin under the boot cuff and in sit-spin positions.
Brands that matter
- Mondor: Long-standing maker of Polartec skating pants and tights.
- Chloe Noel: Thermal skating pants with more style options.
- Jerry's: Skating-specific pants that match its jackets and dresses.
What to avoid
- Jeans or sweatpants, because they restrict movement and stay wet after falls.
- Wide flared hems long enough to reach the blade.
- Thin cotton leggings tucked into skate boots.
Questions
Should skating pants go inside or over the boot?
Over the boot. Skating pants are cut to cover the boot top, and anything tucked inside the boot interferes with the fit.
