Sales of carefully selected skates and accessories. SkateXperience doesn't have a fully filled storage with equipment. Most products are ordered upon our customer's request, as we try to find the perfect skate or accessory for each customer.
SkateXperience brands:
Former top skaters creating the best price-value-wise for short track and long track. Long track speed skates for the recreational, competitive skater and also very suitable for young speed skaters. The best LT and ST sharpening jigs worldwide.

The SmartBags Ice! The goal was to develop a bag for both the recreational and the competitive speed skater. The skates are stored inside the bag, safe and tidy, thanks to the cut-resistant neoprene skate compartments on both sides. The drying cloth is connected directly to the bag using a clip and has its own compartment. The bag features firm grips and handles for the backpack mode. The elastic bands for skate guards and the helmet net come in handy too: Plenty of space left for clothing!
Through years of experience in designing and producing sportswear, Lorini knows exactly what athletes need to perform at a top-level when it comes to clothing. They use the best fabrics; modernist techniques and we ensure the sportswear fits perfectly so top performance can be delivered. A family business since 1978.
