Roller Skates

Riedell R3

Classic starter skate. These are the narrower skate of all options. The slim boot is completely vegan and has a soft open toebox. The ankle strap keeps you in place while the inner padding makes the R3 a comfortable skate to start with. Skate tool included.

Chaya Ruby

Our newest addition to the starter packs is an agile setup (due to its 20° plate) and immediately one of our favourite options. The Ruby has a wider width shoe, protected by a harder toe box. This gives you an ergonomic fit, a little bit of wiggling room at the toes and extra protection in that area. The Ruby has a round standard toe stop (best of the skate options in the starter packs) and allround indoor medium soft/hard wheels.  

Helmet

S-One Lifer Helmet

This Lifer helmet is the safest helmet option. It is certified for single and multi impact, exactly what you need for roller derby. The Lifer fits deep on the head and is not fully round, but a bit slimmer on the sides. It comes in a very wide range of sizes and color options.

Knee pads

187 Killer Pads Derby Pro Knee

As this package is the best Starter Pack we offer, it had to include this very protective set of knee pads. Used by beginners and highly competitive players alike, this is a reliable option for everyone skating roller derby. Thick padding, quick dry liner, detacheable cover (but extra velcro attachment), washable in the machine and available with different color accents.

Elbow pads

187 elbow pads andSlim Elbow pads

Both of reliable quality and protection level, you can choose any of these 2 options. The standard 187 elbow pad is protective without being too bulky. It is ergonomically fit and easy to put on and take off. The slim version is smaller, making the elbow pad more efficient without losing protection. It has a quick-dry liner to boot.

Wrist guards

187 Wrist Guard andDerby Wrist Guard

Both are used by beginner and elite skaters because these are safe, practical in use and long lasting. While the regular 187 wrist guard uses a 3 point closing with velcro straps, the derby wrist guard is a pull on model with extra velcro to secure its position. Both are non-restricting the range of motion you want for roller derby

Mouthguard

SISU Aero Mouthguard

This mouthguard is the most practical option and the most used amongst roller derby skaters.

Have you considered this?

• Protecting your skates with a set of toe caps or toe guards. When falling and skating, the toe area of your skates will get damaged. Put a second layer of protection around them to keep them new.
• Changing your wheels or bearings requires a tool. You might need it when you put your outdoor wheels on, for example.
• Organizing your skate bag? Before you know it, it becomes a mess. Putting your extra wheels and other small items in a wheel bag will make your life easier when digging into your skate bag to find something.
• Just throwing your skates over your shoulder. You can do it without wearing your laces out, by just hooking them into this skate leash. Easiest way to carry your skates.
