Shad0z Posted December 13, 2017 Share Posted December 13, 2017 (edited) i was looking around and i found a box of some pretty hefty: Kneepads, elbowpads and wristguards that were laying around the kneepads look well enough they have thick foam and a hard platic shell but what about the wristguards look at photo its like a glove made of durable fabric and fake learher and hard peice of platic but is this good enough? If not what do i need to look for in a good pair of wristguards? Edited December 13, 2017 by Shad0z Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Popular Post litewave Posted December 13, 2017 Popular Post Share Posted December 13, 2017 This topic has been covered at length before. The short answer is that they are better than nothing, but low-grade, nonetheless. I believe @dbfrese and @radial both sustained wrist fractures while wearing a similar product. I wore the Triple8 wristsavers for over a year but have since upgraded to the Demon Flexmeters. I had only one low-speed stumble where I fell forward onto my arms with the Triple 8s, and I really felt the compression shock. The metal splints in this design will transfer the impact forces almost directly to the heel of the hand, into the wrist and up the arm, which is why the Flexmeters with D3O really are a much better choice from a safety perspective. 3 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
