Customer Rating: Summary: Perfect Derby Gear Comment: These are the perfect wrist guards for roller derby!! I have already been falling (it was part of the drill. . .really) and they give enough support that my wrists have felt no pain at all and I have used them to get back up. Customer Rating: Summary: Sufficiant but awkward. Comment: Before I say anything about this item I should put forward that I am using them for protection on a unicycle, which could have slightly different needs then a skater.
While they sufficiantly protect my wrists, these are some of the more awkward wrist pads I own. I am not able to make a fist or grab onto the seat of my Uni in these, though I can in other types of wrist gaurds.
The three straps is nice for custom fitting but involves a lot of adjustment and are sometimes more work then they are worth.
For the price, they are good stable wrist pads, but if the price isn't an issue, I would suggest going with a different design.
