When ASKJA (pronounced “Ask-Ya”), erupted in northern Iceland in the late 1800’s, it forced thousands of settlers to leave their homes and move to Canada in search of a better life. Dan Palsson’s grandparents were one of the couples (Bergthor & Helen Palsson), that settled on Hecla Island, Manitoba. The company name is paying homage to that Icelandic spirit.

Through strength, hard work and ingenuity those settlers thrived.

ASKJA now builds on the heritage of those settlers, through strength, hard work and ingenuity, ASKJA is changing the face of protection, disrupting industries that have remained static for decades. Specializing in protective technology, ASKJA is creating game changing equipment in the sports, military, police, fire and construction markets.

Honestly, if you do, you won't regret it! Our team at Askja has worked hard in developing the best skate protectors on the market. Plus, we have a 30 day guarantee where we will buy your first pair if you are not 100% satisfied. With many of the players of the NHL wearing our products, you can ensure that we designed a product made for the pros.

ASKJA’s Helskore Skate Armor stands out in strides! Our protectors are the only skate guards to have been 100% tested and verified in a rigorous testing facility. While other brands will not post their test results (yes, we tested them too and wouldn’t either if we were them) we are proud of how much of an improvement our technology provides. Besides being the lightest, most durable, and best looking guards on the market, these guards hands down perform the best. Guaranteed!
