Review on ๐Ÿ… Triple Eight RD Wristsaver: Premium Wrist Guards for Roller Derby & Skateboarding (1 Pair) by Mark Adams

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Works very little, but otherwise great!

I ordered these in a small size first as my previous triple 8 wrist guards were small and they fit me perfectly and I fully sized the small shield company. I've seen some reviews saying they are a bit small to start with but stretch over time. The way I saw it, I put one on, although it seemed too small and definitely wasn't stretched to fit, it was completely cut off from my circulation. -and-hurt-crazy. Losing weight was even more difficult and I was a bit panicked that I would have to cut it off, but eventually it came. Revain is great for returns. They immediately sent me a pair of medium ones (I expected they would need the small ones first but I guess there's no risk if they say they charge for both if I don't send them back) and they have paid for all my returns, even if my actual postage exceeded what they said they would refund me up to. The new ones fit great. They were a bit tight at first but didn't cause any discomfort or discomfort and have since stretched somewhat. I have no problem taking them off either. The only thing I can say is the problem is that I once wanted to put them back on right after a ride and I was sweaty all over. the wet ones were very hard to hit. Not impossible, but difficult. I think I might eventually get another pair so that if I really need to take them off I have a dry pair to put on (I'll just leave them on for now). In terms of performance, they appear to be excellent. . I don't play derbies (maybe I'll learn to skate one day) but I chose them because the palm protection is wider than other bindings. I originally bought the Triple 8 Anti Gloves thinking I wouldn't like anything restrictive, but my first good hand drop caused the knuckle around my thumb to hurt for 3 weeks so I knew I needed something more. It seemed like a good compromise between protection and comfort and since then I haven't hurt my palm and so far I'm very satisfied.

Pros
  • Good product for the price
