Previous Feedback
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.
From: Bre
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.
