A must have for snowboarders or parkskiers; the Dakine Wrist Guard is there to break your fall when it really counts. These wrist guards fit snuggly under your gloves and you won't even know you are wearing them until you take a fall. Build with breathable Airprene fabric and supported with a lightweight internal aluminum stay, the Dakine Wrist Guard is better than having insurance.

super comfortable
These wrist guards fit perfectly. The sizing chart was really helpful and I was able to pick the correct size with its help. It does make you a tad bit bulky so make sure to buy larger gloves to wear them with.
Perfect
First pair of wrist guards, and there's nothing I would change. Very comfortable, great support, just make sure you buy gloves big enough to fit over them.
Very comfortable, very comforting
The wristguards are an outstanding product! Comfotable and comforting to know that they could help avoid an injury. Looking forward to more speed (and tumbles) in another season of snowboarding!
Safey never takes a vacation
These wrist guards are comfortable and I actually ordered the right size. Wearing wrist guards is a lot better than having to wear a cast for a few months after a fractured wrist. This is cheap insurance.
Great fit; solid protection
I think Da Kine really got it right with these wrist guards. Compared to typical inline/skating wrist guards, they are much more streamlined and easy to wear under gloves. Compared to several other brands of snow sport wrist guards, they are much more protective. The aluminum bar is quite stiff, and though I haven't had a hard wrist landing since using them, I have no doubt that they would protect well (as well as wrist guards can). I actually tried another brand which, while sleek and comfortable, seemed to have bars made like those dress shirt collar tabs! I don't think those would have protected me from a fall out of my chair much less on the slopes. The only slight negative is that they impair use of your hands somewhat, but it isn't a problem for typical downhill snowboarding. I have used them for kite snowboarding, and while they work, they do make handling the safety lines, depower strap, etc. a little challenging. I did not have trouble gripping the bar once up and going though. All and all, these are really good wrist guards.
