For a roller skater, there's nothing more frustrating than constantly re-tying their laces mid-session, or dealing with frayed, flimsy laces that just can’t keep up with their moves.

These laces are infused with just the right amount of performance wax, so they stay tight and secure without slipping, no matter how intense the ride gets. Made from a blend of high-quality, durable fibers, these laces are not only soft to the touch but also resistant to abrasion and moisture, meaning they'll last longer and perform better, even in the elements.

5. Gear40 Duffle - $99

If you’ve ever seen a skater struggle to stuff their gear into a too-small bag (or worse, haul it all around in a giant, clunky tote), you know how important it is to have the right bag for the job. That’s where the Gear40 Duffel Bag by Triple 8 comes in—designed with the perfect balance of size, features, and style for any skater on the go.
