What is the proper name for the soft blade covers used to protect the blades when the skates are not being worn?
Answer Soakers
While skate guards are the hard plastic covers used when a skater must walk in their skates while not on the ice, soakers are soft blade covers used to absorb condensation and protect the blades from rust when not being worn.
