Dakine Wrist Guards Low Profile Wrist Protection Pair

Comfortable and protective. Fit in my dakine mittens. Much less expensive than a broken wrist. Get a size up.

I bought the size small (I wear women's size medium gloves) and put these under size large women's mittens for snowboarding so that I'd have pently of room. Worked great! Great support, maybe just a smidge tight but not noticeable once I got going, and actually kept my hands plenty warm. Wouldn't be able to wear these on top or below glove inserts. I fell one time without them on and instantly regretted it, so they went right on after that and I no longer worried about hurting my wrists.

Unless you are a pro, you MUST wear some type of wrist protection. I’m really comfortable on a surfboard and skateboard, so figured my first snowboarding day should be a breeze. But I got these just in case. I’m not exaggerating when I say I would have SNAPPED MY WRISTS like PRETZEL STICKS if it wasn’t for these wrist guards. Even a minor fall on hard packed ice will absolutely break your wrists. These bought me total peace of mind knowing I could beef it and not end up with 2 casts. I took some HARD falls and these totally held up and protected both of my wrists. Very low profile and fit comfortably as described according to dimensions. $20 vs hundreds of dollars in the ER.

There are only so many options out there for proper snowboarding wrist guards with Dakine and Burton being the main two--I have tried them both. Dakine's are far superior and cheaper. I wear these every time I ride since it's easy to slip to your back wrist when riding down steep and icy slopes or while getting extra surfy and far back on the board.I've been knocked around while wearing these and gone down on the wrists but have felt protected each time. When I was forced to buy and wear the Burton guards in Park City after losing one of my Dakine, I immediately realized how unsubstantial and lacking the Burton brand's are; they offer little to no protection, are extremely soft and short, and when I came down on my wrist I felt pain that I would not have felt if I were wearing Dakine. So I made sure to order another pair of Dakine after that trip.I wear a size small (note I'm a 5'1" woman with small but muscular wrists), the neoprene around the wrist can feel tight but will slightly stretch out over time to be more comfortable. I knocked a star since the thumb hole is the tightest area and it can cause irritation around the crease of the thumb after wearing all day. You'll also need to wash these every so often as the neoprene material makes you sweat around the wrist and yes they will smell :)

Got these to wear atthe skating rink since wrist guards are mandatory. These being neoprene, are so much more comfortable and they absorbed the sweat well too. I would buy these again

Fit was good and I like that they are slim enough to fit under a normal pair of gloves.I wore these snowboarding and on my first crash hurt my left wrist. These do a good job of preventing hyperextension but the large metal brace dug into my palms. At first I thought it might of just been a fluke but on the 2nd fall it did the same thing. Both falls were nothing serious. I have been snowboarding a long time falling all the time and have never had this happen so I blame the wrist guards.

I snowboard poorly and have prior wrist injury, so wrist protection is a must for me. Prior to having these I had to opt for summer sports wrist protection under large size snow gloves, was very not comfy. Got these and they are amazing!They are made of super sturdy rubberey-coated material that won't fall apart quickly, unlike 3 pairstof gloves that each lasted me 1 season.The wrist guards are hidden in pockets and can be removed for washing or when you wanna use the gloves for non sport activities, like winter hiking and whatnot.Guards definitely work, I fall alot and this weekend was very icey, I kept falling on that one icy spot, one time fell to the point where my knees got bruised through knee pads, would probably be some major injury w/o them and no issues with wrists regardless of how the fall went. Amazing!I wear size 7 gloves in Women sizes and S in Dakine (grey + teal color option) fit great: snug around wist and comfy perfect length in fingers. There is additional strap that secures wrist guards to where they belong.Putting these on and taking them off is pretty easy.They do look bit bulky but not horribly so.They were warm enough for -10C/13F. Would probably need glove liners if it walls below that.All and all highly recommend and quality gloves. And definitely wear protection not just for wrists, but for you knees, head and butt! Stay safe!

Ordered a large based on size chart. It was way too small. Cuts of circulation in my thumb and squeezed my hand to hard. My wife tried them on and they were still to small. I expected more from Dakine.
