Customer Rating: Summary: OK Wrist Guards, Cheap price and Inferior Materials Comment: I needed to replace a 15 year old pair of RollerBlade wrist guards of the same style. These are not nearly the quality of my old wrist guards. They will do the job of protecting ones wrists and palms, but the materials just don't have a nice feel. Material is stiff, seams are sharp. Also the sizing runs small. I ordered an adult large and velcro straps nearest the elbow barely makes it around my forearm. Customer Rating: Summary: Perfect Derby Gear Comment: These are the perfect wrist guards for roller derby!! I have already been falling (it was part of the drill. . .really) and they give enough support that my wrists have felt no pain at all and I have used them to get back up. Customer Rating: Summary: Sufficiant but awkward. Comment: Before I say anything about this item I should put forward that I am using them for protection on a unicycle, which could have slightly different needs then a skater.
While they sufficiantly protect my wrists, these are some of the more awkward wrist pads I own. I am not able to make a fist or grab onto the seat of my Uni in these, though I can in other types of wrist gaurds.
The three straps is nice for custom fitting but involves a lot of adjustment and are sometimes more work then they are worth.
For the price, they are good stable wrist pads, but if the price isn't an issue, I would suggest going with a different design.
