Pro-Tec Street Wrist Guards

These wrist guards are exactly what we needed! My 14-year-old required solid wrist support after breaking their growth plate this summer, and these fit the bill perfectly. The quality is excellent, and they’re comfortable to wear while still providing reliable protection. They’ve been a great help in allowing my child to safely continue with other sports activities. Highly recommend for anyone needing durable and effective wrist guards!

Great and comfortable.

Needed guards because I took up rollerblading again after almost 20 years off skates. These guards are good, will serve the purpose, but the length of the plastic bracing piece on the palm area is too short to provide maximum protection.

This is my third pair of these wrist guards. It is true that the stiffener is plastic rather than steel, but they seem strong enough to keep my wrists in 1 piece. (I did break a bone in my wrist 5 years ago when I fell and did not have these on! On that one day I had decided I didn't need them. Da!)). Anyway, what wears out is the elastic velcro straps. Over time they stretch until they become too long to keep the guards snug. That takes a few years to happen though and I use them about 3 times per week. My only caution is sizing. My wrists are 6.5" in circumference and I wear a size medium. When I first put these new guards on, I thought they were a bit too small - the velcro straps were just long enough to reach around and secure. Now that I've used them a few times, I am happy with the fit.

Not bad, I'll continue to use them. Support seems fine, quite functional. Just hardly quality I expected from the brand and price. Clearly designed *just* well enough to do the job. Flimsy, smaller than expected. I have large hands, if you have huge hands, beware

1/23/2020By "too thin", I mean the width of the bottom plastic piece was not wide enough to protect my entire palm as I hit the ground. I do think that that Triple-8's plastic piece would have saved my bone, because it is wide enough to cover my palm.Additionally, the large Protec would pull the plastic piece to one side of my palm instead of being centered on my palm. I highly suggest the Triple-8 wrist guard over this product.-----------------------------------------------I crashed my electric unicycle going 22mph, totally my fault.My left radius broke and requires surgery.The plastic plate is too thin and didn’t provide any protection for both the radius and the ulna.

I got these pads last year when I thought I would start practicing to roller blade in my 50s. My wife is much younger than me and she and our son would ride on their kick scooters while I tried to keep up. So I got a scooter when I figure out the roller blading was going to take quite a bit more practice than I had thought.So, I got a scooter so I could keep up with my wife and son, and it is a lot of fun. But, some would ask, "Who falls off of a kick scooter." and the answer is me. I took three falls last year, sprain one or both ankles, wrists and the last time smacked my forehead on the asphalt pretty bad. I had a huge egg above my right eye within a minute or two and a day and a half later my right eye was pretty black and my left eye followed a couple of days later.From that point forward, I decided that even when riding my scooter, I would wear my pads. Magically, when I am wearing my pads I do not fall. It is as though the devil knows when I am not wearing my pads.In any case, I do recommend these pads especially if you are refusing to get old like me.
