Review on Demon Snow Flexmeter Wrist Guard by Omar Thorndike

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Already paid

I recently bought a OneWheel +XR; After riding it at almost 20mph I realized I might need more than a simple wrist guard for impact and ordered them urgently. So far in the last week I've eaten about 3 times so badly and 2 times so fast that I didn't have time to think before hitting my face on the sidewalk. Rather than snapping or badly stretching my wrists, I only have a few scratches on the detachable hard panels and I'm no tiny squeaky whistle. Even if I just want to wear my lightweight riding helmet, I use them. They have a fairly low profile so they fit well under all but the narrowest of sleeves. I can also hide my FitBit near my wrist. This is probably unwise, but so far it hasn't caused any problems. I bought them for $60 on the Black Friday sale but would happily pay the usual $80-85 for them knowing how grippy they are. I think for experienced skaters and snowboarders, wrist protection is usually overkill when you know how to stand up or roll into after a fall, but for people who move faster, like electric skateboards, or people who are tall and clumsy, They save you weeks of treatments and stress. doctor's prescriptions and pretty pennies if you live in the US or other commercial healthcare countries. If only they had these for their feet/toes!

Pros
  • Easy setup
Cons
  • There are other interesting options.
