Place it directly over the irritated area. Moleskin will protect the skin while it heals. Replace it as necessary. What to Wear Whether you are skating in an indoor rink or outside on the ice, make sure your clothing is lightweight, allows free movement and is comfortably warm. Cotton, worn next to the skin, allows the skin to breathe.
Perspiration occurs even in cold weather.
Cotton allows for evaporation and keeps the body from overheating. Layer outerwear so it can be removed when you become too warm. Wear clothing that allows freedom of movement and provides warmth on your lower body. Jeans are not the best item of clothing to wear as they get cold and stiff, and restrict movement when they get damp or wet. Lycra running pants or sweat pants work well.
