Pro-Tec Street Gear Skate and Bike Wrist Guards

I play roller derby and have been wearing these for several months. They wear very quickly and don't provide adequate protection. I took a fall last week while wearing these exact wrist guards and shattered my wrist. I required surgery to fix a plate in my wrist as a result. I would NOT recommend these wrist guards. Buy something better, even if it means spending more money. Your bones will thank you!

While they do a decent job when they're new, In a matter of about an hour I managed to completely destroy the left guard. I ride flatland bmx, and broke my hand twice this year, so as a precaution I bought a pair of these and as I said.. They do a great job of protecting your wrist when they're new. The plastic skids, and reinforcements are in great positions, they're comfortable to wear, but the vinyl/cloth/neoprene or whatever is very poorly constructed and will not last. Now again I'm a flatlander not a skater or regular bmx'er, so my hands/feet see more wear than anything, but they still will not last very long, fortunately they're fairly cheap to replace.(cause you'll be doing that often)

These are no good. The plastic inserts are flimsy and weak. I could feel it even when brand new - I didn't have to wait to break my wrist like some other reviewers to know these things are lame-o. Unfortunately I bought them in a set, and can't return because I wore the rest of the set fine. These guys need a slap.
