I'm a beginner skateboarder and i found that i often catch myself with my hands and recently, i hurt the bone at the bottom of my thumb. I've never used any other wrist guards and went with tsg for their reputation. these guards have two hard plastic pieces that protect the front and back of the wrist. the one on top has a really big bend that makes the two ends really poke into your hands- luckily it's removable. the other plastic is not uncomfortable and cannot be removed. the wristguards themselves are made really solidly with materials that look like they would last. the padding is pretty good. another thing is that the thumb holes are a little smaller than average (i bought the small one), but if not wrapped too tightly, it does not play a huge problem.
Lastly, the wristguards are not at all flexible and really force your wrist area to bend downwards a bit. this may be a problem because when i fall, i tend to bend my wrist the other direction so i that fall on my palm. i'm not sure whether the guards are built to protect such a fall, which seems to be a pretty common way to catch yourself when you do fall backwards. if anyone knows, please comment. thanksGet more detail about TSG Black Wrist Guard.
