187 Derby Wrist Guards
5.0
Overview
The 187 Derby Wrist Guard is designed with roller derby in mind. Many exceptional features have been developed to keep the athlete well protected and less restricted. The contoured protective plate covers a wide area of the palm and wrist, but the pad also allows for unrestricted finger movement and a more natural feel.
The shape of the protective plate is cupped, contoured and covers a wider area of palm and wrist. They slide on easily into the perfect fit. There is a conveniently located sweatband on the back of the wrist which allows for quick wipe-off action. They feel very comfortable on with a padded interior and perforated materials that keep them very breathable.

Super protection and finger flexibilityThese wrist guards are really perfect for derby. Allowing your fingers to protrude more allows way better finger flexibility when your are the bridge. They are difficult to squeeze your hands into, when you size them for the perfect fit for your hand size.

Comments: Love the fit of these but as someone else said, the exposed metal inside has hurt me more than any actual fall on more than one occasion. I took a really hard fall at a skatepark yesterday and the exposed metal rivet destroyed the part of my hand between my wrist and thumb. I won't be wearing them again.

Comments: Why are the rivets exposed on the inside of these wrist guards? One mild fall and the rivets cut into the flesh. One side is padded, one side is not. The rivet closest to the wrist is the culprit. Check it out. Maybe you could let the manufacturer know. I am not using mine again.

Comments: These are the first wrist guards I've used. Have tried on many others, but found these to fit with the most comfort. I even forget I'm wearing them. Have fallen a few times and they definitely work without fault. The also look well made and designed unlike many other cheap looking clones. I recommend these for slalom, freestyle and fitness skating. Happy safe skating!

Comment: I bought these at Christmas. While I love the low profile, and smaller fit, I find that I'm not quite as protected. I've hurt my wrist a couple of times while wearing these. They allow too much movement. I'll be getting another pair that has both front and back protection.
