Hello everyone!
I'm a skater in the UK and was wondering where people get their figure skating clothes from (bonus for budget friendly as I'm a student!!)
I usually skate in gym pants, sports bra and a running top but the past few months I've started to take skating more seriously and do patch! My rink is particularly cold, and I have a really bad case of Reynaulds disease (terrible circulation [emoji19] ) and my current clothes are just not keeping me warm enough for those 6am winter patch sessions!
I cant skate in hoodies as theyre bulky and they annoy me, especially when I'm spinning, and any warm pants I've tried aren't water resistant and sweat wicking.
I've been trying to save up for some proper skating specific clothing and got my hands on a mondor jacket and intermezzo leggings from my skate shop which have been great but they were expensive and I really can't afford more.
Unfortunately, the UK seems to have a really limited source of skating clothes. Can anyone recommend any budget friendly clothes that are good to skate in?
P.s. recommendations for socks would be appreciated too. I wear seamless diabetic socks to skate in atm as theyre very thin, but I literally can't feel my feet for most of the session because they're cold!
