Ice skating is a favorite winter sport, but staying warm on the ice rink can be challenging. Cold temperatures can sap your energy and enthusiasm, and, for ice skating athletes like figure skaters or hockey players, the cold can affect performance. Heated apparel from ororo makes it easy to stay warm while ice skating. ororo offers innovative heated apparel for all ice skaters, whether training, performing, or skating around for fun. 

We sat down with ororo ambassadors, professional figure skaters, and married couple Alex and Julia to learn more about how ororo heated apparel helps them stay warm while ice skating. 

Alex, a UK native, has skated professionally for Disney and Dancing on Ice. Julia, a Canadian natural, also skated professionally for Disney, but the two didn't cross paths until 2019. Since dating, they returned to Disney for a professional tour together. Now married, they are settled down in Eastern Canada with a puppy named Pumpkin. Alex and Julia both coach figure skating, spending long hours on the ice, and skate in shows together when their work schedules allow it. 

Skaters Perform Better Warm

"Heated apparel really makes a difference when we’re training in cold rinks." Alex shared. 

For professional ice skaters, training and performing at an elite level demands concentration and precision. It can be difficult to stay focused when you're battling the cold. With multiple heat settings, ororo heated apparel offers ice skaters the ability to find their perfect level of warmth. Whether you’re just learning to ice skate or a pro, you can stay focused on the task at hand and forget about the cold in ororo. 

Now that Julia and Alex are coaching figure skating, heated apparel has been a game changer. "ororo has been such a godsend for me coaching specifically." Julia shared, "In Canada, the rinks are really cold. I kind of brag about ororo to everyone."

It's not just athletes who need to stay warm! As coaches, eliminating distraction from the cold means they can support their athletes better with clear minds and longer hours on the ice rink. 

Lightweight and Flexible Heated Apparel Moves With You

ororo’s products are designed for performance, with active people in mind. A full range of motion means figure skaters can execute jumps, spins, and complex footwork without a second thought. The ability to move freely and perform precisely is essential for any ice skater--whether it's your first time or you're skating for Dancing on Ice. 

No matter what type of apparel you like to wear while ice skating, ororo has a heated option so you can stay warm. Thin, fitted athletic cuts are great for training professionals. 

Recreational ice skaters love our thicker heated vests and puffy jackets. Long overcoats and thick heated jackets are perfect for coaches and warming up before and after ice skating. 

“I’m always cold,” Julia says, “Coaching is especially tough since you’re not moving as much, which makes heated apparel like ororo a lifesaver.”

Long Battery Life Heated Apparel

"The battery life is great on them all." Alex shared, "I wear my ororo vest a couple of times a week, and I charge it every two or three weeks. For me, it lasts a really long time because once it's warm, I sometimes just turn it off because if I'm wearing a coat over it, it keeps the warmth inside."

Long days of ice skating complicate the struggle to stay warm. Luckily, ororo heated apparel comes with all-day battery life. Plus, it's easy to swap batteries and recharge with universal chargers. 

Staying warm while ice skating can make all the difference between a good time and a bad one. Whether you’re a seasoned pro or recreational skater, ororo’s heated apparel is worth the investment. Enjoy more time on the ice without the discomfort of the cold, and keep your focus exactly where it needs to be—on perfecting your skills and having fun.
