We’ve moved! Check out our FULL article here. Summary below.

The Flexmeter D30 Double Sided wrist guards provide exceptional wrist protection, making them ideal for high-speed activities like snowboarding, inline skating, and riding Onewheel or electric unicycles. As someone responsible for their family’s well-being, the need to protect hands and wrists is crucial for maintaining one’s livelihood, making these wrist guards an invaluable safety measure.

Comfort:
These wrist guards are built for both protection and comfort. They feature two semi-flexible pieces made of patented Dupont Hytrel material that sandwich the wrist, secured with Velcro straps. Despite their protective design, they do not feel bulky or heavy. Wearing them is akin to having a splint or brace on your wrists, providing both protection and comfort.

Style:
In addition to their comfort, the Flexmeter wrist guards offer a stylish look. Their design not only keeps you safe but also earns compliments from others. The positive feedback from peers encourages consistent usage.

Protection:
While not tested in a fall scenario, the wrist guards offer high levels of wrist and palm protection. Designed by surgeons, they resemble a splint in their construction, instilling confidence in their protective capabilities. These guards are particularly effective in safeguarding against abrasions, ensuring road rash or “hamburger hands” is avoided.

However, the wrist guards may interfere with elbow pads due to their extended forearm coverage. They may also become uncomfortable when used with devices that require active hand control, making them less suitable for activities like biking and electric scooters. Additionally, wearing gloves over the wrist guards can be a challenge.

The wrist guards work best for hands-free, high-speed activities like snowboarding, inline skating, Onewheel, or electric unicycles. They might not offer protection for fingers, and users should not expect this feature.

It’s important to note that in humid climates, users might experience more sweat due to the wrist guards, although the inner fabric helps wick away moisture.

Overall, the Flexmeter D30 Double Sided wrist guards offer exceptional wrist protection without compromising style or comfort. However, users should be aware of some minor inconveniences and limitations, making them most suitable for specific high-speed activities.
