Comfort, convenience and speed! Our most popular Nordic ice blades for cross-country touring on frozen lakes and ponds, using your own XC boots and bindings.
Comfort: The warmth and support of ice skating in insulated, padded cross-country ski boots that support your ankles.
Convenience: Put on your boots at home, drive or walk to the ice, then clip on your blades in seconds. You'll never need to expose your fingers and toes to the frigid air on a frozen lakeshore.
Speed: This recreational adaptation of speed skating technology gives you the efficiency of a long-blade skate that glides smoothly and effortlessly on top of the ice, instead of digging in and wasting your energy chewing up the surface.
Safety: The tip of the blade curves up just like a ski tip, allowing you to skate safely across bumps, cracks, soft spots, even snow-covered ice.
Versatile and affordably-priced, Isvidda Nordic Skates consist of a pair of factory-sharpened blades, plus a mounting hardware kit and do-it-yourself instructions for mounting your own XC bindings. Compatible with over a dozen models of screw-in bindings, including Salomon Prolink; Rottefella Sport Screw; Rottefella NNN-BC Manual; SNS Pilot Sport Skate (2-bar); SNS Profil Equipe Skate (1-bar), SNS Universal; SNS Profil Auto; and SNS X-Adventure Back Country.
What's Included: Bare blades come factory-sharpened, but they do not include XC bindings. Instead, blades are pre-drilled for screw-on XC bindings. With the included mounting hardware kit, you can install any of the following bindings: Rottefella Rollerski Skate, Rottefella Sport Skate, Rottefella NNN-BC Manual, Salomon Prolink or Salomon BC Outside.
If you would like us to mount the bindings for you, please add the bindings to your shopping cart, and then add installation: https://nordicskater.com/products/labor-tech
