Roller Ski Equipment Completes a Well-Rounded Training Setup

In addition to roller skis and ski boots, roller skiing requires a few accessories specifically suited for asphalt use. The right poles, durable asphalt tips, and well-fitting gloves make training smoother and more comfortable. It pays to invest in high-quality gear right from the start of your training, as it impacts both skiing feel and safety.

In the Urheilu ja Kone selection, you will find roller ski products from well-known brands such as Swix, Exel, One Way, Lillsport, and KinetiXx. Whether you are taking up roller skiing for the first time or upgrading gear for active cross-country training, you will find equipment to suit all your needs with us.

Roller Ski Poles and Asphalt Tips

The primary difference between roller ski poles and standard cross-country ski poles is the asphalt tips used on them. Baskets designed for snow are not suitable for hard tarmac; instead, roller skiing requires durable carbide tips that bite into the surface to ensure a firm, reliable push-off.

You can also use standard ski poles for roller skiing, provided you replace the winter baskets with asphalt tips. It is wise to inspect the condition of your tips regularly, as they wear down and become blunt with use. Dull tips reduce grip and can make your pole plants unstable.

Our range includes roller ski poles and pole accessories from brands such as Swix and Exel.

Roller Ski Gloves Protect Your Hands

During roller skiing, you grip the poles continuously throughout the session, making glove fit and comfort essential. Well-fitting ski gloves enhance grip, reduce blistering, and protect your hands from the strain caused by pole straps.

Lightweight and breathable gloves that stay comfortable even in warm weather are ideal for roller skiing. You can find options in our selection from brands like Lillsport and KinetiXx.

Other Useful Roller Ski Accessories

Your training routine can be further supported by other gear, such as bags designed for transporting and storing equipment. When assembling your roller ski gear, consider your training locations and conditions as well. Smooth asphalt, high-visibility clothing, and appropriate protective equipment make every workout safer.

Wearing a helmet is an essential part of roller skiing. Beginners should choose a quiet, flat route and focus on practicing balance and speed control before moving on to more demanding terrain.
