Q. What is the Proskate Inline Skate Wheel Cover and who is it for?
A: It is a snug-fit protective cover that shields your inline skate wheels and frame from dust, scratches, moisture, and foreign substances when your skates are not in use. It is ideal for any skater who wants to keep their equipment clean and scratch free during storage, travel, or transport.
Q. What does the wheel cover actually protect against?
A: It protects your wheels and frame from dust buildup, surface scratches, accidental knocks, light moisture, and debris that can settle on your skates during storage or while carrying them in a bag. It also helps keep dust and particles away from your bearings, extending their life.
Q. Does it cover just the wheels or the frame too?
A: It covers both - the cover wraps around the entire base of your skate, protecting the wheels and the frame together in one piece, so nothing is left exposed during storage or transport.
Q. What fabric is used and why is it good for protection?
A: The cover is made from a lightweight, four-way stretch performance fabric that is dust-resistant, scratch-resistant, and quick-dry. The stretch properties allow it to conform tightly to different frame lengths and wheel configurations, ensuring no gaps where dust or debris can get in.
Q. Is it easy to put on and take off?
A: Yes, the slip-on design makes it quick and effortless to put on or remove without any tools or adjustments. The stretch fabric does all the work, gripping snugly over the wheels and frame.
Q. How should I wash and care for the cover?
A: Hand wash or use a gentle machine cycle with mild detergent, inside-out, and avoid fabric softeners to preserve the fabric's stretch and any printed design. Hang dry only - do not tumble dry, iron, or use any heat source, as heat can damage the technical fibers.
Q. Will the cover lose its shape or grip over time?
A: With proper care, the high-recovery stretch fabric retains its shape and snug fit through regular use. Avoid heat exposure and harsh washing, and your cover will stay effective for many seasons of protecting your skates.
