Triple EightRD Wristsaver Wrist Guards for Roller Derby and Skateboarding (1 Pair)

I first ordered these in a size small as my previous wrist guards from Triple 8 were smalls and they fit perfectly and I am well within the company's measurements for small guards. I have seen some reviews say that they are a bit small at first, but stretch to fit with time. Because I had seen this said, I forced one on even though it seemed like it was way too small and it was definitely not in a stretch-to-fit sort of way, it was in a completely-cutting-off-my-circulation-and-hurting-like-crazy-way. Getting it off was even harder & I panicked a little that I was going to have to cut it off, but it finally came.Amazon is awesome about returns... they sent me a pair of mediums right away (I expected they would need the smalls back first, but I guess it's no-risk when they say they will charge me for both if I don't send them back) and they paid for all of my return shipping, even when my actual postage went over what they said they would reimburse me up to.The new ones fit great... they were a bit snug at first, but not uncomfortable or concerning and they have stretched out a bit since. I don't have a problem getting them off, either. The only thing that I can say is a problem is the one time that I went to put them back on right away after skating & getting all sweaty... moist ones were really hard to get on. Not impossible, but hard. I think I might get another pair of them at some point so that if really need to take them off, I have a dry pair to put back on (in the meantime I'll just leave them on).Performance wise, they seem great. I don't play derby (maybe some day, I'm still learning basic skating), but I chose these because the palm guard is wider than those on other guards. At first I bought Triple 8's Anti-gloves as I thought I wouldn't like something restrictive, but my first good fall on my hand made the joint around my thumb hurt for 3 weeks, so I realized I needed something more. These seemed like a nice compromise of protection & comfort and I haven't bruised my palm since, so so far, I'm very pleased.

I love these wrist guards from Triple Eight; they make me feel secure enough to get back into skating. After several wrist and hand surgeries, I was skittish to get back on wheels lest I fall, but these sturdy, well-fitting guards make me feel covered enough to give it a go! Highly recommend if you are looking for a high-quality, durable set of guards.

I love the design of these wrist guards with the support on the back and front of the hand, but the smalls were ridiculously tight at first. Like cutting off the circulation in my hands. They only fit well once they'd stretched out so much that the holes in the material ripped (I have friends that cut theirs to speed up the stretching process!). The elastic and velcro were pretty much done after a year, so I ordered mediums this time and am not loving the fit. I plan to fashion some gaskets to wear with them so they'll fit better and might not stink so bad this summer.

I bought a ton of different types to try on and these were the keepers. Other ones weren’t as comfortable and didn’t protect enough or were too restrictive. This is the best balance.I’ve landed on my hands in these without wrist pain. The splint is a great size and shape to protect and the material covers one’s hands and fingers enough to prevent scrapes. They’re very comfortable for what they are. They provide good coverage and protection yet didn’t feel too restrictive, especially compared to others.

I own multiple pairs of these wrist guards as well as other brands. I have used them snowboarding and skateboarding for many years now, and these are the best I've ever used. They are a little bulky, but that is because they are sturdy very functional. I could not recommend more, particularly for larger males who tend to hit the ground harder.

As stated, I use these for roller derby. The difference between these and the run of the mill Triple 8 wrist guards is the plastic insert that runs along the palm of the hand/underside of the wrist. That plastic insert has an extended span acrosss the heel of the hand area, which means more protection should you end up really biffing it and sprawling out on hands and knees. I’ve bought three sets of these over the years I’ve been skating (eventually, the elasticity of the materials this wrist guard is made of gives out from all the times it is put on and taken off and all the sweat. I’ve never sustained a wrist or hand injury in all the years of skating, and these wrist guards play a big part in that.If there’s one thing I don’t like about these, it’s that my wrists are one of my body’s heat points and wearing these does make me feel more like overheating after a heavy skating session. However, I don’t think there are any wrist guards that offer the same level of protection that wouldn’t feel the same with regard to regulating body temperature. I’d rather sweat a bit more than end up with a broken or sprained wrist.

These are higher-quality than the old triple-8 wristguards. They feel a tad snug but that's a good thing as 1) that protects better, and 2) they will inevitably stretch out a little. These are well worth the few extra bucks over the cheaper ones.

This product sets wrist safety back 40 years. I was really excited about getting new wrist braces for skateboarding. I have been skating since 1963. For a long time there was no safety equipment and I sprained my wrists so many times they are really skinny. My hands are normal size, when I tried on this brace I could barely fit my hand inside, the size was right for my wrist but because they are a struggle to fit on I returned them immediately and ordered wrist guards from a company that makes them the right way. You wrap them around your wrist to put them on and then tighten them with Velcro straps. Don't buy this product, you might be very disappointed like Iwas

I really like these, they work and are really confortable. I usualy wear xxxl gloves or more and the biggest size fits perfectly.

Originally i had bought these a size smaller and even though they were tight they were comfy but now they're the right size they are much more comfortable. They are well made and its got nice padding around the wrist. I got these for skateboarding but they are marketed for roller derby and apart from the actual wrist guard base that's wider than a normal wrist guard. I don't think there's much difference to a normal one, so i have no idea why triple 8 has market this just for roller derby.

I need the very strongest wrist guards I can get, and Triple 8 Roller Derby is it! The size guide works well for me, if you have thicker arms/wrists, go one size up. These things have to be snug in order to protect you. I am very happy with the purchase and would not use any other model or brand

Big fan of the single strap to fasten. It's quick and easy. Found it to be secure enough in my opinion, although I'm not trying to do big tricks
