The \u003cstrong\u003eStayBent Blade Soakers\u003c\/strong\u003e are the simplest, most effective way to keep your short track and speed skating blades dry, protected and rust-free between sessions. Slip them over your ground steel the moment you step off the ice and the soft, highly absorbent lining draws the water away before it can start corrosion or dull your edge.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eWhy skaters use soakers\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eBlade guards (the hard plastic covers) protect your edges while you walk. Soakers do a different job — they pull the moisture off the steel while your skates are packed away in your bag. Using both together is how serious skaters keep an expensive pair of blades sharp and rust-free for years.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eBuilt to absorb\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eA plush \u003cstrong\u003eTerry-cloth interior\u003c\/strong\u003e makes these soakers seriously thirsty — they wick water off the blade fast and hold it, so your steel comes out of the bag dry and ready to sharpen. The stretch body slips on and off easily and hugs the runner so it stays put in transit.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eSize guide\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eChoose your size by blade length:\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSmall\/Medium\u003c\/strong\u003e — fits blades 13.0\" to 16.0\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMedium\/Large\u003c\/strong\u003e — fits blades 16.5\" to 18.0\"\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTerry-cloth absorbent interior\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eStretch fit, easy on\/off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eKeeps blades dry and rust-free in your bag\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eTwo sizes to fit most short track and long track runners\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003eBrand: StayBent\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\u003cp\u003eSold and shipped in India by LiveLica.

A permanently damp soaker will hold moisture against the steel instead of drawing it away.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eDo soakers replace drying my blades?\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003eNo. Wipe the blades down first, then fit the soakers.
