At first glance this wrist guard seems good but as a woman my wrist has to be too small for it so it's NOT one size fits all, suits all or even suits most. Most likely, it is intended for men. The velcro seems strong, although after a week of use it does damage the black fabric of the protector itself. The upper area around my thumb in particular rubs my skin leaving it red and irritated. When wearing this I have to wear a glove underneath to protect my skin. It also goes too far to my fingers and they can't move freely. This makes them stiff, especially my little finger. With or without a glove, my wrist was sweaty and clammy when I took it off. I do not recommend this product. I liked my old one more but after 10 years of use the velcro finally died. I will try to find another wrist guard.
