Josiah Posted February 2, 2023 Author Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) Flexmeters came in today. I got the small according to the sizing charts, but I can barely fit them on. Feels like it’s a tourniquet. They feel super tight and the Velcro barely goes to the fuzzy. I think I’ll return them for either medium or large. Any thought in the sizing?

Complements of my 8 year old daughter. She made me a history book. Complete with a metal wire binder. I’m a Bonapartist. And a Royalist. Bit of a contradiction.

Josiah Posted February 2, 2023 Author Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) Seems like they’ll be tight against the Leatt body armor if not overlapping a lot. @Cerbera Do you have a work around for this? Edited February 2, 2023 by Josiah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cerbera Posted February 2, 2023 Share Posted February 2, 2023 (edited) Yes. I didn't buy the flex jobbies I have these ones. If it makes you feel any better I bought Both Leatt GPX boots and their mega expensive single wrist-guard thinking they would work, but neither did, either with the wheel or the top armour. We live and learn, and now I am trying to sell both the mistakes ! I don't imagine you'll have any problem selling your flexmeters on, presuming you don't like them so much you change the suit instead ! In fact there is another option... remove the arms from the bodysuit ! But I wouldn't do that - I value the elbow / forearm protection too much.

Josiah Posted February 2, 2023 Author Share Posted February 2, 2023 Oh yes I remember you posting those before. I can disconnect the lower arm portion of the body armor bit then I lose the elbow pads. I’ll get it all together and report back. thankfully Amazon takes returns for free not even a shipping or restocking fee. I’ll return them and switch to medium or large. Just not sure which one yet. I think @litewave had some thought on sizing. I’ll check above. Hope it’s not too much trouble selling the extras. Right price takes a while to sell. Good luck!

Cerbera Posted February 3, 2023 Share Posted February 3, 2023 Of course we should probably mention that doesn't actually matter if bits of armour overlap, unless it is particularly uncomfortable where they do ! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't imagine you'll have any problem selling your flexmeters on, presuming you don't like them so much you change the suit instead ! Gotta love these 7$ wristguards. I got two pairs. One bigger/smaller. For winter ridding bigger pair goes over gloves. One point i wanted to buy flexmeters. (Still kinda do..) But sadly i don't know which size would fit me better. Large or Medium.. Following their sizing chart im right in middle. My hand/forearm are kinda chunky.. (Also returning would be pain in ass - as i would be ordering them from different country.) My country sells only single sided ones.. - Without the sliding puck. Edited February 3, 2023 by Funky 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, sometimes cheapest really is best, at least as far as hyperextension and sliding palms goes - these, over gloves, have saved my hands and wrists on a good few occasions. 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I’ll throw a tape measure over my hand take a picture and send that with the sizing chart for you guys to illustrate the point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For now ill keep the cheap ones. As i don't plan on falling. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Josiah Posted February 3, 2023 Author Share Posted February 3, 2023 (edited) I’m so confused about this. According to my tape I’m below a small but the small was crazy tight. I might switch to medium next. My hands are hulk hands from construction. Maybe that’s my issue. Edited February 3, 2023 by Josiah Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(Large.) If i measured like you did - my hand would be 9 Cm big..... See the blue line in image - you need to go around it. (I measured like that.) Otherwise no measurements would fit even in small. -Smallest are 16 Cm or 6.3 inches. Edited February 3, 2023 by Funky 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I might switch to medium next. My hands are hulk hands from construction. Maybe that’s my issue. The width of my hand is the same as yours as measured from outer edge to the thumb-forefinger split. There is no way a size small will fit your hand and wrist comfortably and safely. As for their size chart, Demon isn't the best at updating its website, and I have requested corrections to two of their other product pages before. Again, I suggest you go with medium. If you can fit thin 'under'-gloves comfortably without overstretching the mesh, then you're good year-round. If not, then purchase a size large for winter. However, I feel that large does not conform to my lower arm and wrist as well on bare skin and would likely provide less protection. I think most riders will agree that wristguards and helmet are essential items you should not skimp on. *************************************************************************************************** Edit: I see what the problem is. The measurement diagram is WRONG. The measurements are correct, more or less, for your wrist. You should be measuring the CIRCUMFERENCE of your wrist. The width of your hand as depicted in the diagram and in your photo is almost irrelevant. Edited February 3, 2023 by litewave 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
