| Helmet | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Helmet | The helmet should be approved (CE marked), but it should also be comfortable and fit your head. When adjusting the helmet, the edge of the helmet should be about one centimeter above the eyebrows. The helmet should also be tightly closed to the head so that it cannot spin and the chin strap should be tight so that it cannot slide over the chin. If cracks appear in the helmet, it should be replaced immediately. In general, a helmet lasts 3-4 years. It should also be shiny; if the surface is dull and scratched, it is a sign that it is time to change it. The chin should be properly positioned in the chin cup. | ||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Shoulder protection | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Shoulder protection | When trying out the shoulder guard, the most important thing is that the shoulder straps are centered on the shoulders. It should also have reinforcements at the collarbone, chest and spine. Most models have adjustable straps to customize the protector so that it fits properly on the body.

| Gloves | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Gloves | You should make sure that there is no gap between the glove and the elbow pad, as this part of the body is exposed to blows and impacts. It is up to you whether you want the glove to be loose or tight, but it should not be so loose that it loses its shape or it will not provide the required protection.

| Trousers | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Trousers | The main function of trousers is to protect the hips and the front of the thigh. Don't buy pants that are too big, as they can restrict movement. The easiest way is to start with your waist size. The trousers should sit well on the hip bone. The length should be such that the trousers extend 3 cm above the shin guard when walking upright, then the trousers are sufficient even when sitting deeper in the riding position.

| Shin guards | |||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||||
| Shin guards | The kneecap should fit in the center of the kneecap and then provide good protection all the way down to the ankle. Make sure the protector is not too long - then the skates will push the protector up and the kneecap will be out of position. Also be sure to fasten the protector properly with shin guards (or tape).
