TSG Black Wrist Guard

I have been searching for a good pair of wrist guards since I always seem to catch myself when I fall off my skateboard. I went to a few sporting good stores and tried on the large wrist guards and they were way too small. Then I tried my friends mediums which were almost too big! I was a little confused as the sizing didn't seem standard. I am a adult male and have good sized hands and wrists thus I was hesitant to order something that I couldn't try on first. I went ahead and ordered them (large) and to my relief they fit great and when I took them out for a test run and they held up great. Again , the sizing seems to be for adults so if you are looking for kids try the pads that are labeled for kids or try the small.

A little background:
I ordered these (large size) to protect my wrists while snowboarding. Given I'm in the east, the trails here can be very unforgiving; we tend to get hard, icy, packed-down snow. As luck would have it, I sprained my left wrist before they arrived. Amazon said they would come in 3 days when I ordered them at 1am; they arrived the next day. *thumbs up*

Pros:
-Humbly priced
-Well made
-Provides comfortably firm support for my sprained wrist
-Performs its job function

Cons:
-The (p)leather rubs the skin between my thumb and index finger raw when I wear the guard for prolonged periods of time. However to its credit, it's very mild; perhaps it's just my big hands.
***This may be an issue for skateboarders, however as a snowboarder I wear under-armor gloves so it's not a problem.
-If you plan on wearing gloves over these you might want to consider getting the next size up. I have a very nice pair...Read more

These wrist guards are exceptionally well made. With a built-in metal bar protecting the wrist, I feel much better sbout my son avoiding injury if he falls off his ripstick.
