Roller Skating Wrist Guards

Ordered these after I was tired of busting up my hands while skating the hilly Colorado sidewalks and roads. Chilly in cold weather (warranting the addition of mittens during the winter months, which actually works) while being comfortable in blistering heat, they're ultimate palm-savers. I was once going what felt like 30-40 mph down a steep neighborhood hill on my quad skates when some resonant frequency was hit and my right foot just had to sing along. The result (as relevant to the review, ignoring the gore) is what you see in the image attached. About 5% of my left side remained on the road while I feebly rolled home, but my hands were totally unscathed. It took weeks before I regenerated enough of that 5% to lift and go out skating again. Thanks to these wrist guards, though, my hands were spared. Several months later, these wrist guards remain in working condition while the scars remind me not to try anything as stupid again. 10/10. Worth the investment.

Super comfortable and well made and it actually is breathable

Wanted a new set of wrist guards to replace an older bulkier pair and these work great! They allow a great range of motion, they fit while wearing a watch and they have a decent amount of flex. I’ve only taken a slow fall while skating and they’ve held up well. I hope to never have to test the max limits of these, but they do feel like they’d certainly help me avoid a more serious injury than going without them.Just a note: If you carefully remove the label from the bag they come in and pull off the paper bits, you have a a mesh bag for storage. They fit as the size guide suggests. The back strap is a little shorter than the front, maybe I have bulky wrists, but they still work great and stay in place. All in all, a solid purchase at a decent price. Win win!

Took a fall and felt nothing!

Love it, I have an electric skateboard that has the potential to go 25mph! I get scared going 10mph on it sono go about 8-9 and when I fall I needed wrist protecting, so I bought these before I ever tried the thing, and ever since, I’ve fallen twice. Wearing these. I used them to slide a bit on my hands rather than my body , and it was like falling with such grace, I fell and instantly thought “my knuckles are gonna screwed up if my wrist lands wrong” and I did that open your hand and bend them thing, and my wrists just floated as that hard plastic took the scraping my hands would’ve endured, and amazingly, no hand injuries !Just dirty scuffed up shoes and scraped knee.Amazing wrist guards;

Ok these are a decent wrist guard, good padding and decent support, and good skid protection.. and they fit good... Kinda here is the issue.. the guard fits perfectly feels good in my hand.. big problem.. the fricken straps are not even close to fitting I have real wrists.. the rear strap won't even reach the Velcro on other side.. and the front one doesn't even get 1\4" of Velcro to hold it on.. I don't get it, I measured and my hand fits well in them.. don't know why the straps would be so short.. I would not buy these again..

These wrist guards have been great in the 90F/32C and up heat while skating in July in my city. They are light and comfortable. Air flows through them well. I recommend you measure both of your hands before you choose your size. My right hand is wider than my left. I bought the medium size but I think now I would have been fine with a large. My Velcro strap just makes a complete fastening on my right hand. I drew over the no-name company advertising on all my gear with a black permanent marker. It turned out okay. I have not fallen at speed so I cannot speak to the effectiveness of these guards In a fast moving situation. Nevertheless, I think they are worth the premium price.

I roller skate and was hesitant to get wrist guards because I hate feeling restricted and hot. But I fell and hurt my wrist and realized I'm to old to break my wrist roller skating. These are perfect. Not to restrictive and they don't get too sweaty. I have since fallen multiple times and they have saved my wrists every time. If you have small hands you may need to add a little extra Velcro to them.

Bought these for my son who was taking up snowboarding. We started out with standard wrist guards. The standard ones you by at Canadian Tire or SportChek seem to be a bulky and hard to fit into gloves and he felt they were uncomfortable on the top of his hand. I bought these and my son said they fit nicely into his gloves and protects his wrist well but is less restrictive on the top of his wrist.

They look cool and are great for the price. Just remember to use them. Got a broken wrist because I forgot them at home 😅

Bought these for skateboarding, only a beginner but they have saved me from landing directly on my wrists multiple times. Have the scratches on the guards to prove it. Falls happen a lot as I'm learning and I feel grateful the guards have prevented serious injury. The hard plastic part sends the impact elsewhere and I'm good to get up and go again.

As much as it’s a brand new item which I had ordered, the item came with scratches. Not to mention, the item took forever to arrive with delivery date changed a few times!

Seems like the top female-velcro strip's position-ANGLE is a-little-off.
