Choose an undergarment arrangement that will be cool and comfortable under your equipment. This will avoid irritation of the skin (from the equipment). Underwear will absorb moisture from your skin.

What players wear under their equipment is a personal choice (lots of players wear pygamas!). A
number of material combinations exist for underwear from 100% cotton to cotton/polyester and other blends of material.

Always wear a SINGLE PAIR of socks in your skates. As with underwear, a variety of material blends are available. Choose a blend that offers you comfort, warmth and moisture absorbing abilities.

For all underwear and socks, 50/50 cotton/ polyester blends provide maximum ventiliation and comfort.

Always ensure underwear and socks are dry and clean to avoid chafing from your equipment and to maintain hygiene.

Avoid wrinkles in your socks when tightening your skates!

Carry an extra set of undergarments on tournament days or when you play more than once in a day.
