Review on Relieve Tendinitis Discomfort with Vive Wrist Brace Compression by Chris Owens

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Watch these wrist guards degrade before your eyes!

I am very disappointed in these wrist guards! I've had them for a little over a month and they're falling apart right before my eyes! I wish there was a way to give it 0 stars. First, the one on the left had a logo on a larger Velcro tab while the one on the right didn't, which already made me doubt the quality of the product. The pictures are incredibly misleading; The Velcro strap over the thumb is less than half an inch wide and doesn't curl as much as it needs to. Also, they cover about four inches of my wrist/arm, which is a lot shorter than the picture. And oh my god they stink in your arm and wrist! I stuff each palm with a paper towel to ward off the odor and absorb the sweat, but...yeah. no I thought of hand washing them lightly to remove the smell but as you can see they are already deteriorating! The right one, without the logo, seemed to break quicker, and the top velcro over the thumb didn't hold up in places. Time, hence my brilliant idea of securing it with a zip tie. I noticed layers of fabric and foam peeling off last week (less than a month after purchase) and woke up today to an inch of foam peeling off at one point. This was the final straw that made me write a review. The left wrist guard holds up a bit better as the layers aren't showing yet, but I still had to add a zip to secure the top Velcro thumb strap. The only positive thing I can say about them is that the large Velcro strap is incredibly snug on the wrist and that wasn't a problem. But that still defeats the purpose of buying them from the start! You should keep your hand and wrist straight so they don't bend, but the top useless thumb straps make them moot. Adding zip ties should never be the solution.

Pros
  • hand and wrist supports
