Black Wrist Guard by 187 Killer Pads

I am pretty sure I would have broken (or at least severely injured) myself without these guards - I can vouch for their efficacy. I don't skate much anymore, and formerly mostly used my longboard as a campus commuter back when I was in college. Recently I have been trying to get my husky to pull me on my old longboard, which is not going particularly well. She basically doesn't want to pull at all until there's an animal to chase and then she wants to kamikaze into it regardless of obstacles, traffic, her general safety, my general safety, etc. Usually I can control her, but there were wild turkeys in our neighborhood today, she goes to pull full speed, I figure I can let her because they are in a cul-de-sac, so whatever, but then a car was coming from out of the cul-de-sac, so I go to foot break, and as I am doing that she cuts perpendicular to me with all her force and just pulls me right off the board. 100% of that initial impact went into my left wrist and then I scraped up my arm a little bit too and hit my hip as I fully wiped out. So my arm hurts, my hip hurts, and I am quite sore, but my wrist feels fantastic. The guard's still in pretty good shape too.

I've been using these for several months now for longboarding and they've already saved my wrists in a few wipe outs. The material is holding up well with the velcro still holding strong and no rips or tears thus far. They're in use several times a week. I really like the fit and ergonomic feel while I'm wearing them. Overall I have zero complaints and I believe they will have a long service life.

I havea small hand, got the Small Size. Fits Perfectly, Feels Conformable, Feels Safety, Looks Nice !!!

We bought these Moxi leopard guards as well as the "regular" Triple 8 and Killer Pads wrist guards, in black. (They're all made by the same company.) The stitching and materials were superior in the Moxi version (although it had slightly less palm coverage), and the plastic "stint" was noticeably thicker and more durable compared to the other two, which definitely makes it appear more protective to the wrist. The only curious design choice aspect is--why the white plastic? The contrast makes it "stick out/stand out" design-wise, and not in a good way. (White looks "dorky," says my daughter, compared to the black.) It looks cheaper and less streamlined than the black plastic, and it also easily shows scrapes and scratches, making it appear dirty once actually used, whereas the black shows none of that. The black plastic would've made it appear so sleek, smooth, uniform and flattering! Would love to see the black plastic as a design-change in the next version. Sizing wise, the Moxi XS leopard was too big for my pre-teen daughter--but the XS/Junior in the turquoise rainbow version fit her perfectly. (Appears to be a slightly different design.) I have very small 7" wrists but long fingers and wear a size S glove and per the measurements the XS should've fit me, but it was too small and tight. The Small fit me perfectly. I would say size up, for adults.

I'm 68 and have tripped and fallen every two weeks lately, while I walk an hour at lunchtime. Clearly I'm not the spring chicken I used to be. My balance is shot. On the other hand, my wife claims that for our 42 years I've always been an unbalanced individual. Anyway... I'm thrilled with these! I'm reviewing the "Large" size of the "187 Killer Wrist Guards". They came in a package of two - one left, one right. (They will not fit people who have two of the same arm instead of one of each.) SO, I bought these. The piece of plastic which extends from my forearm over the ball of my hand is wonderfully thick and strong. I have little doubt that it will take my 140-pound frame hurtling to the ground with utter calmness (the *guard* will be calm, not my poor terrified toppling body). There are three really serious (e.g. they could restrain a Sherman tank) straps that wrap around this guard. Two wrap one way and the third goes the other way. They make it really easy to snug the guard up nicely against my skin. The manufacturing seems superb. Strong stitching. Very thick bullet-proof woven nylon cloth (well, small bullets). Excellent positioning of the hole for my thumb. Overall great tailoring to fit the curves and complexities of a human hand and arm. Naturally they arrived nearly instantly. Since that's how Amazon always behaves, I think we get used to it. It is pretty amazing, however. The packaging was excellent. Oh, btw, it was easy to open. That's important to me. I recommend these very highly. p.s. Maybe I'll add photos later. The wrist guards are at work right now and I'm not.

These wrist guards are highly recommended for high-impact sports like skateboarding, roller derby, and inline skating. They offer a level of stiffness and security that cheaper pads simply can't match.

Protects great. Have great wrist support. The padding is thing but that is good for hand movement. No super strechy, but has velcro for adjustment.

Quality is very good. I use these for my scooter. I know what it means when you fall... although it is a two wheel skateboard. If you have large hands, it may seem a bit small (Barely the velcro hits the area) They barely fit me.(11 inch). I really do need a 12 to 13 inch XL but they do not have that size.

Good quality, and protect the wrist well.

Exactly as described, great fit and sturdy wrist guards

Sehr robust. Gute Qualität

High quality wrist guard. Has prevented a few hospital trips. Comfortable, not too obtrusive and protective.

Super schönes Design. Keeping them wrists safe on the Track 🛼
