Wrist Protection… separate Wrist Guard or Built-in Protection

Posted: 16 April 2010 06:04 AM

Hi everyone, i already have wrist guard and snowboard gloves.  my favorite wrist guard is my Demon Snow guard… with Burton Goretex snowboard glove.

I read that the wrist guard provides protection to the wrist but it moves the affected area to the upper arm… then i read about biomex http://www.xsportsprotective.com/level-gloves.html

Level Super Pipe Pro Protective Snowboard Gloves - What do you think?  Is this a good buy?  Are you using separate wrist guard and glove or snowboard glove with built-in wrist guard?

Thanks

Hi Rick,

check out my previous thread (http://www.snowboard-review.com/forums/viewthread/19/) for some informations about the rumour with the upper arm thing.. That’s just not true!

I am using a Level Halfpipe glove with integrated wrist protectors. I’d say there is no need to buy a new protector if you already got a high quality one you are feeling comfortable with.

Cheers, Tobi

Yeah this question is forever going on… lots of urban myths surrounding the argument.

To be honest, the stat’s speak for themselves… looks like Level Biomex works…. and providing you can fit the glove cuff and gauntlet under your jacket sleve there should be no style reprocussions! :-)
