The traditional skate pant, often called a salopet or salopette, is a close-fitting trouser with suspenders. These pants are also used in cycling, usually with a chamois pad. While thin Lycra versions without lining exist, the most commonly used type is the lined thermo salopette, offering superior warmth and comfort.
Skate pants need to be flexible, warm, and comfortable. Because skaters adopt a deep posture, all skate pants, unlike running tights for example, feature suspenders over the shoulders. This design ensures the skate pants stay securely in place during intense movements. Skate pants are also referred to as salopets or collants.
Good skate pants generally come in two main fabric types: thermo and Lycra. A Lycra salopet is thinner, lighter, and slightly more flexible than the warm thermo fabric skate pant. However, the thermo fabric skate pant can be worn without long thermal underwear. Lycra variants typically offer more affordable skate pants.
