Youth Small

These are my daughters new favorite skating gloves. They are thick enough to keep her fingers warm but thin enough to allow for great movement. The padding on the palms is also amazing and helped on a few falls. So far the gloves have been very durable and I would say have been a great add to our skating gear.

Fit good!

My newly five-year-old skater had passed on her skating mittens to her younger sister and needed something new to wear on the ice. She generally skates 6-10 hours a week, and still has plenty of falls as she's working on her jumps. I decided to look for gloves, and there aren't a whole lot of choices out there for little skaters. These fit her well (youth small - toddler) but she'll get at most a year out of them before we need the bigger size, I'm guessing. They seem sufficiently padded that even when she takes an inadvertent hard fall, she doesn't seem fazed. I love that they are black, so they blend right in with her jacket (and don't show dirt, yay). I think she likes them, but I'm very nervous about her losing them, as they aren't inexpensive. They do get wet after awhile, especially if she spends much time touching the ice, but seem to dry out fairly quickly. We will certainly consider buying the next size up once she is ready for them.

Good barrier and cushion. The gloves are water resistant, not waterproof. If your kid is still learning and falling a lot and you may want to get waterproof gloves.

I got these for my son who is new to the ice. If only I had these when I started out, i remember having my skating pants custom made with the pads for hips and backside and those were just another large expense for my parents, we never had gloves though. The fit of these gloves is great and padding is just right for those frequent falls when you're learning!

I don’t normally write reviews, but the first day my daughter wore these to practice, there was an accident and a skater SKATED OVER HER FINGERS! Obviously everyone, including her coach was very concerned when pulling off the gloves. We aren’t sure if it was some crazy fluke, but these gloves didn’t rip or bust and her fingers weren’t cut (slightly bruised but fine otherwise). Now I’m NOT saying to attempt this, as I’m sure they do not guarantee this kind of safety and it could have been pure luck. Either way, she’s never allowed to practice without them again after that and I’m buying a second pair. Oh, she also says they are really warm and her hands stay completely dry.

My daughter does figure skating and these are perfect! They don’t soak up with water from the ice and the padding is just enough for a fall

Gloves keep you warm unless you are learning to skate and your hands are on the ice frequently. These gloves are NOT water resistant- hands get very wet and very cold.
