electricpen Posted February 1, 2018 Share Posted February 1, 2018 Good thing I have two pairs! There are issues in some parts of the construction (I wear mine daily) where some of the elastic straps are not sewn in very well and they start unraveling over time. They still work but definitely things to improve on. Plus the skid plate on the palm still has some detachment issues under heavy use even after the redesign. That being said I would almost certainly have seriously injured myself at least once if I didn't have them so I hope they do improve them and make them available again soon. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Probably better than M. Will tell if they fit. Small update: I got them (L) and they seem to fit well (maybe 5mm shorter would be ideal). Going by @WARPed1701D's really helpful pictures on the first page, the M are significantly smaller, and I'm pretty sure they would be borderline too small for my measurements. So the "in doubt go bigger" worked for me. Edited February 4, 2018 by meepmeepmayer clarification 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So the "in doubt go bigger" worked for me. I'm glad this thread is proving helpful. And thanks for posting your experience to confirm my findings. It will help the next guy/girl to feel more confident in their sizing decision. Yes the mediums were significantly smaller as you can see in the pics. It caused discomfort around my wrist bone and the flex hinge on the upper plate was in the wrong place. Like you I'd prefer the upper plate to be just a bit shorter over the top of the hand but the fit of the large size was much better than the medium. I really must do my G-Form review, especially in light of Dan's fall and injury. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
meepmeepmayer Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 Very helpful! Maybe the length of the M might juuuuust have worked for me (not sure exactl where the flex zone is supposed to be), but they would probably too tight as well. The L is nice in that regard, and I can still get cloth gloves underneath them as they're flexible enough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mezzanine Posted February 4, 2018 Share Posted February 4, 2018 I'm about to get these myself and will report back on whether I'm correct on sizing. Currently using a pair of Triple 8 Hired Hands. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_fuel Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Just ordered a pair. Holy moly these are hard to find where I live. All shops only seem to carry the snowboard type with gloves ... Had to resort to ebay.co.uk to find a pair. Only 1 seller on Amazon in France and he doesn't ship to my country. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully you find them worth the effort to get. I still love mine. I'm on my second pair because one of them got damaged badly during my faceplant crash in November. The second pair is of the same quality, so they have consistent manufacturing processes. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meepmeepmayer Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 Bought them here. It's a German adress but a Dutch shop, I believe. Very fast delivery and they asked to confirm my selected size was the right one for my hands, which is a nice extra. https://wintersport-online-shop.de/snowboard-wristguard-flexmeter-d3o 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ir_fuel Posted March 8, 2019 Share Posted March 8, 2019 I googled a bit but couldn't find them, and the official website has no list of resellers. They want you to buy from their online store. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucas Alexander Oliver Posted June 30, 2019 Share Posted June 30, 2019 I am currently hunting for wrist protection. My supplies ewheel guards are getting passed on to my wife and I need something a little more robust. Are these flexmeter really the best way to go ? As a bartender I can’t break a wrist or I’ll be going hungry. Lol. So wrist protection is a must when I ride my nikola full out. Will these handle a 30mph fall ?

Anyone have a link for large size flexmeters They sell out from time to time. I'd call Demon and ask for an ETA for the next container shipment from China. They can be hard to reach by phone, so keep trying. They are located in Utah (mountain daylight time). Btw, I suggest you order two pairs when they come back in stock. The stretch fabric wears out rather quickly, and it's easy to poke holes in it with your nails or create a tear if you overstretch it, e.g., wearing thin gloves underneath them. Be sure to ask for a 15% discount if you order direct from them over the phone. I think regular shipping is free if the order is over $100.00 USD.

Guest Posted September 26, 2019 Share Posted September 26, 2019 https://www.backcountry.com/demon-united-flexmeter-wrist-guard-double Is $55.97 for Demon Flexmeter double sided without the D30 worth it? Any major difference from the D30? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
