Surgeon designed Flexmeter wrist guards provide maximum protection against snowboarding wrist injuries. To prevent snowboarding wrist injuries, they use a upper wrist 'Flexmeter' splint which has been specifically designed by a leading French sports injury surgeon, based at the medical centre in Avoriaz. The “Plus” model comes with a molded plastic under palm splint and the added feature of a palm impact plate which allows the guards to also be used for other action sports such as mountain boarding, skate boarding or rollerblading. . The removable palm impact plate is optional to use when snowboarding! 

The Flexmeter Wrist Guards Plus offer the maximum protection and support so are particularly recommended for those with any previous wrist injuries, those who are learning to snowboard or for those who also like to roller blade, mountain board, pro-jump etc etc! 

• All the benefits of the original Flexmeter wrist guard with the unique upper wrist splint, to prevent hyperextension of the wrist. This surgeon designed splint protects and covers the full wrist and top of the forearm to prevent wrist hyperextension and to absorb compression forces.

• The Flexmeter upper wrist splint is flexible and durable, allowing high mobility of the wrist while protecting it against fractures and breaks.

• The upper wrist splint is made of thermoplastic Hytrel® by Dupont, which provides enhanced flexibility and shock absorption.

• The wrist guards are cushioned against the wearer’s skin by softer materials including cotton and DuPont Lycra®, making them very comfortable to wear.

• The wrist guards are secured by two adjustable strong Velcro straps for a precision fit.

• The “Plus” features of this wrist guard include a molded plastic under splint and the added feature of a palm impact plate for enhanced protection and/or use in roller sports. The palm impact plate is removable and optional to wear when snowboarding. 

• Especially recommended for beginners and a must have for those with previous wrist injuries! Also the wrist guard to select if you snowboard and/or participate in other sports such as roller blading.

• Intended to be worn under snowboard/ski glove. Note: the gloves will need to be suitably sized to allow the wrist guards to be worn underneath. The palm impact plate can be removed for snowboarding if that helps fit the gloves more easily. 

• Please Note: The black colour wrist guards shown are the Large size. Small size is Red, Medium size is silver!
• If you are in the research phase about wrist guards, please do not compromise on safety and buy cheaper wrist guards that were originally designed for skateboarding (typically shorter and the splint is on the palm side only). We have had a very large number of customers come to us who have broken their wrists wearing these .. The cost, pain and inconvenience of a broken wrist (which often can happen on the 1st day of an expensive snowboarding holiday ... ) far outweighs the small extra cost of purchasing surgeon designed Flexmeter wrist guards, specifically designed for snowboarders. 
• To best fit the guards, pull them right up, then secure the strap around your wrist firmly first. Then secure the second strap further up your arm (this one does not have to be extremely tight, it just needs to hold the guard in place).
