Beginner skateboarder May 12, 2010

I'm a beginner skateboarder and i found that i often catch myself with my hands and recently, i hurt the bone at the bottom of my thumb. I've never used any other wrist guards and went with tsg for their reputation. these guards have two hard plastic pieces that protect the front and back of the wrist. the one on top has a really big bend that makes the two ends really poke into your hands- luckily it's removable. the other plastic is not uncomfortable and cannot be removed. the wristguards themselves are made really solidly with materials that look like they would last. the padding is pretty good. another thing is that the thumb holes are a little smaller than average (i bought the small one), but if not wrapped too tightly, it does not play a huge problem.
Lastly, the wristguards are not at all flexible and really force your wrist area to bend downwards a bit. this may be a problem because when i fall, i tend to bend my wrist the other direction so i that fall on my palm. i'm not sure whether the guards are built to protect such a fall, which seems to be a pretty common way to catch yourself when you do fall backwards. if anyone knows, please comment. thanks

A little background:
I ordered these (large size) to protect my wrists while snowboarding. Given I'm in the east, the trails here can be very unforgiving; we tend to get hard, icy, packed-down snow. As luck would have it, I sprained my left wrist before they arrived. Amazon said they would come in 3 days when I ordered them at 1am; they arrived the next day. *thumbs up*
Pros:
-Humbly priced
-Well made
-Provides comfortably firm support for my sprained wrist
-Performs its job function
Cons:
-The (p)leather rubs the skin between my thumb and index finger raw when I wear the guard for prolonged periods of time. However to its credit, it's very mild; perhaps it's just my big hands.
***This may be an issue for skateboarders, however as a snowboarder I wear under-armor gloves so it's not a problem.
-If you plan on wearing gloves over these you might want to consider getting the next size up. I have a very nice pair of Burton Gore-Tex gloves that *just barely* fit.
For the price, you can't go wrong!
 bar + stitching in back is uncomfortable December 8, 2009

Pros:
* The material construction is of good quality.
* Good protection with supports in front and back of wrists.
Cons:
* Kind of bulky.
* The metal bar for the back of the wrist is very uncomfortable for my wrists. For some reason they designed it so the stitching here is very thick and uneven, so juts into the back of your wrist. I'm not sure this surface which is intended to contact the back of the wrist isn't smooth.
Unfortunately, these wrist guards are uncomfortable enough that I'm going to have to return them. :(

These wrist guards are exceptionally well made. With a built-in metal bar protecting the wrist, I feel much better sbout my son avoiding injury if he falls off his ripstick.

I haven't had to use a wrist guard in quite some time, so I don't really have anything to compare these too. I purchased these because I wanted to start rollerblading again and wrist guard were the most important padding for me. The only complaint I have about them is that I get very sweaty underneath them, but I am assuming that is an issue with all wrist guards since there isn't really any way to vent them. I am sure there is some sort of material that may soak up the sweat better, but I am not sure what it would be. I haven't fallen yet, so I am also not too sure on how effective they are, but they seem sturdy.
