Blue Sports Platinum Soakers Junior Skate Guards

‌Blue Sports Platinum Soakers — Classic Soaker Design Built for Serious Protection

The Blue Sports Platinum Soakers deliver professional-grade blade protection with a classic, time-tested soaker design that every serious hockey player recognises. Built around a tough canvas exterior and an absorbent terry cloth interior, these soakers combine durability with active moisture management to keep your blades sharp, dry, and ready for every session. Whether you're a young player learning the game or a seasoned competitor protecting expensive steel, the Platinum Soakers provide dependable, everyday protection you can rely on from the moment you leave the ice.

At the core of the Platinum design is the lightweight, low-profile construction that makes daily use effortless. Slim enough to slip easily into your hockey bag without catching on other gear, yet robust enough to deliver full blade protection, these soakers solve the common frustrations of bulky or awkward covers. When it's time to take your skates in for sharpening, the low-profile design makes transport simple — the soakers can even be stored inside the boot while your blades are being sharpened, keeping everything organised and protected in one place.

Security and protection are delivered through the elastic design and durable nylon strapping running from heel to toe, both inside and outside the cover. The elastic fit ensures the soakers stay firmly in place once installed, eliminating the frustration of covers that slip off mid-walk or during transport. The reinforced nylon strapping creates a structural framework that keeps blade edges fully protected even under the daily pressures of bag compression, locker room traffic, and repeated use. This is protection engineered to last season after season.

Special attention has been paid to the soft polyester inner liner, which ensures your blades and holders stay scratch-free during every use. Modern hockey skates often feature special coatings and finishes that can be damaged by abrasive fabrics — the Platinum's polyester lining eliminates this concern, protecting the integrity of both your blades and the holder. Combined with the terry cloth moisture-absorption layer, the interior actively preserves the quality and longevity of your skates while keeping them dry and rust-free.

Beyond blade protection, the Platinum Soakers deliver a crucial safety benefit that's often overlooked. When carrying skates between the car and the rink, exposed blades can cut hands, legs, or other equipment inside the bag. These soakers eliminate that risk, shielding your hands during transport and preventing blade damage to jerseys, pads, and other gear. As a pro tip, always dry off your blade edges and holders before covering them to prevent rust build-up — a simple habit that, combined with the Platinum Soakers, keeps your skates performing at their best for years to come.

Ideal for hockey players of all skill levels — from youth beginners to senior competitive athletes — who train 3 to 7 sessions per week and need dependable, everyday blade protection. Perfect for skaters who want to prevent rust, preserve blade coatings, and protect their gear bag contents from blade damage. A smart choice for families with multiple skaters thanks to the comprehensive size range, and an essential accessory for anyone who values the safety of protected hands during transport, the longevity of sharp blades, and the reliable performance of a classic, proven soaker design.
