K2 Moto Men's 2012 Wrist Guard, Small

They didn't last very long (<2 months, approximately 10 sessions at 2 hours per) before one of the plastic rivets ripped through the fabric. Now the guard won't stay in place. They're also pretty hot and sweaty.On the plus side, they protected well while they lasted and the company that shipped them was on the ball. They initially shipped me the wrong size, but were very quick to correct their mistake.Let's call it a 2 for the product and a 4 for the company.

The outer and inner sides of the wrist are braced with a strong stiff material. The braces are contoured to the shape of the hands, so you don't even feel you have them on. There is no way you can bend your wrist with this thing on. I love it. I already fell on my left hand once, bent my fingers backwards, but the wrist did not even move. I suppose I should relearn to close my fingers when I fall? It is a natural instinct to spread your fingers when falling. But because your wrist will not give, all weight will be on the fingers. Ouch. This is not the fault of the wrist guard.

I usually use the K2 Alexis for roller derby, but these were available when I went to replace. I assumed that since they were men's sizing I could order my regular size.... Ohhh I was wrong. These run super small, I'd say on par with the women's sizing. Otherwise, they're great. a fabulous little wristguard for the price.

Great protection even though I have not fallen just yet.but I will say I'm new to skateboarding and have been practicing how to fall as recommended by some of my skater friends. Now it is on grass but it does have a significant feel to the naked hand. I have small hands and have always bought small gloves for everything but as mentioned in other reviews it does run small. I ordered a medium and it fits snug, small would not have fit. So go a size up.

Got this for the snowboard season. They fit great and the plastic pads are strong.These are comfy and if you are planing to use them for skiing or snowboarding my only advice is to use mittens because they won't fit with regular finger gloves.

These are the best wrist guards I've ever found. I put over three thousand miles a year on my roller-blades and get over a year out of these guards. I highly recommend them for safety and ease of use. They are the extremely comfortable to wear and will prove themselves the first time your hand hits the ground.

X-large? more like extra small and narrow! Maybe this is extra large for a boy? But the package and advertisement says x-large for "men" and it is not! Way too narrow, and the bands of Velcro are very short, not much room to loosen up.

I bought size large for my hands that measure 19 3/8" around, just below the knuckles. I bought these to use with my air-trekkers. These are pretty stiff around the wrist when tightened, which is good, but when I fell using mine, I felt a lot of lateral pressure halfway down my forearm, which means this might just change a potential wrist break to a potential forearm break, which is a likely issue with all wrist armor of this type.

If you do skating (inline, skates or ice) you must get these. I am a beginner inline skater and I crash a lot and thank G I had these, there saved my wrists from serious damage.I went for the XL since nothing else was available and it was still a bit right (my hands are not that big and according to their measurements it was a bit over my recommended size

Algo aparatosas para ponerlas, pero luego son cómodas. De estética bien. Si las ves a buen precio, son una opción válida.
