RinkLog Academy
Equipment
Gear that fits protects better and helps a player progress, and gear bought too big "to grow into" hurts both. These pages give the manufacturers' charts in centimetres and inches, tools that work out the size from real measurements, and honest benchmarks on what is worth paying more for depending on how many sessions a week you skate.
