Comments: I like these a lot for the protection they offer, but I've found that the fuzzy side of the velcro seems to wind up wearing out after a few months. I've run through two sets.

Comments: Just bought these and am covered in arm bruises. With all of the tripod bracing our team is using for defensive formation, I'm finding that these guards not only bruise my forearms and thumbs because they are so rigid (I cannot bend my hands to brace...), but they are also digging into my teammates' arms because of the deep bend at the palm splint. YES, they protect the wrist against falls.

Comments: These wrists are well-made, really secure and offer a high level of protection but they run really small. I take a medium in Smith's, Protec, and Triple 8 but medium in these were like a small in others. They are hotter and sweatier because they don't have mesh panels than the basic models of the brands I listed, they just pull on neoprene.
