CRS Cross Ice Skate Guards, Soakers & Towel Set — Medium Ruby, Hard Guards & Microfiber Soakers

CRS Cross Ice Skate Guards, Soakers & Towel Set is a complete blade-care kit that protects, dries and stores medium-sized skates in a vibrant ruby color.

Keep your skate blades in peak condition with this thoughtfully assembled set from CRS Cross. It combines rigid walking guards, absorbent soakers and a compact drying towel so you can safely walk off the ice, remove moisture, and store blades without risking nicks or rust. Designed by a former pro skater and coach, this kit focuses on everyday blade maintenance for recreational and competitive skaters alike.

How do the hard guards protect blades when walking off the ice?

The CRS Cross hard guards are engineered to shield blade edges from concrete, tile and other rough surfaces between the rink and the locker room. They attach using spring hardware and phillips-head screws to hold the two-piece guards securely in place while you walk.

• Two-piece hard guards with included springs and screws for a snug fit
• One-size-fits-all design that can be trimmed for a custom length
• Simple assembly with an instruction sheet and video link for guidance

Why are soakers important and how does CRS Cross’s microfiber design help?

Soft soakers (also called blade covers) prevent moisture build-up and protect blade edges during storage, unlike hard guards which can trap water. CRS Cross soakers use absorbent microfiber to wick away remaining moisture and cushion the blades against minor impacts.

• Microfiber material soaks up residual water to reduce corrosion risk
• Available in Small, Medium and Large—this set is Medium for adult sizes 1–4
• Soft internal lining prevents metal-on-metal or metal-on-plastic contact

How does the included towel fit into routine skate care?

The compact 12 x 12-inch CRS Cross towel is designed for quick, effective drying after skating sessions. Wipe blades thoroughly before sliding them into soakers to remove all surface moisture and avoid rust or dulling.

• Color-matched towel complements the ruby soakers for a coordinated kit
• Absorbent size is convenient for locker rooms and travel bags
• Keeps blades dry and clean prior to storage in soft covers

What size should I choose and can the hard guards be adjusted?

Size choice is based on the soaker measurement: Small for junior/youth up to size 1, Medium for adult sizes 1–4 (this product), and Large for adult sizes 4+. Hard guards are one-size-fits-all but can be trimmed to match blade length for a custom fit.

• Medium soaker fits adult skate sizes 1–4—verify boot sizing before ordering
• Hard guards may require cutting for optimal blade coverage
• Comes with assembly instructions and an online video tutorial
