What do Speed Skaters wear when skating?
There are many different thigs that you can wear.If you are indoors, you obviously don't want to be wearing a winter jacket, because you would be way too hot.

If you wear a sin suit, like most skaters do, I personally wear a warm, long sleeve shirt and then the suit over top (when I'm outside) But when I'm inside, i simply wear compression shorts and my skin suit.And then you have to wear skates and a helmet and all that too.
