187 Killer Pads Derby Wrist Guards – Slide-On Wrist Protection for Roller Derby

I grew up rollerblading and wore traditional wrist guards with the hard plastic splint. I bought some K2 Moto wrist guards a few years ago when I got back into rollerblading. I got back into skateboarding this year. I never wore pads on a board, but I’ve really grown to like the derby style wrist guards. I bought the 187 Derby guards after my K2’s got too stinky. These offer a bit more comfortable fit and higher build quality. You can flex your wrist a bit more and they offer a wider impact surface. One thing to know, these wrist guards run a bit small in size. I wear a size medium glove, the medium sized wrist guards were really tight and I opted for a large.

These are so much better than your standard wrist guards. They add protection to a wider area of your palm and last longer due to this wider area distributing impact better. These also stay in place much better than a standard wrist guard and will, therefore, be more comfortable. They can be a little difficult to slide on, but fight perfect once in place. A nice benefit to these guards, is the benefits they add to sliding. Because of the wide plate, you can slide on these when doing hard turns, slides for roller derby, jam-skate dances, or even inline skate slide tricks. These wrist guards will help add tricks to your library and, of course, help protect that precious wrist from damage.I would say one downside to these is they can make planting on quarter pipes more difficult as the plate has less friction on a coping. So planting is still possible, but takes practice to get it right again. Don't worry though, cause you have plenty of finger movement to compensate for this.If you like using wrist guards, then these are probably the best ones you can get. They last a long time and are only like $20. Very much worth the cost. So get them already. Your wrists will thank you and you might start sliding with the best of them.

Bought this for my husband for Onewheel ride. It saves him getting hurt. Great product!

Go up one size if your hands swell :)Usually they will when active and when you fall; they don’t cut off circulation but they’re snug on purpose to help keep you safe.So your best to size and fit them properlyThe material is super comfy (soft) and mine haven’t torn.They don’t hurt my wrists despite being snug and I can use my phone just fine with them onI can easily grab my board tooHappy skating!

I skate every single day. I was burning through the other style of 187 wrist guards with the plastic splint, repairing them constantly with shoe goo and STILL purchasing several sets per year. These Derby style guards seem much more sturdy and resistant to skids on concrete. They fit smaller/tighter than the splint style so the medium I purchased is a pain to slip on and off but no biggie. The full palm sized skid plate seems way less likely to tear through the fabric the way the splint style always did. These hurt a little more when you fall on them, the skid plate edge bruised my palm for a few days after a slam but the medium is a little small on me, so perhaps thats why the edge got my palm? Ive skidded across the concrete a few times with them and the plastic plates seem to be holding up and preventing my palms from being meat crayons, I wish they were maybe a little thicker so they dont sand through too fast but so far way better and sturdier than the splint style.

Love these wrist guards as they feel less bulky than other guards. The curved plate helps when falling to feel more secure/protected than normal wrist guards. The slip on feature helps the wrist guard stay fitted with 2 strong velcro straps. They are a little hard to slide on or off when sweaty but made from a great material. Feel like these will last me a while and will buy again when they fall apart.

Better protection. I slammed a couple times, they did better than the standard wrist guards. If they don't wear or tear quickly, I would definitely buy again. They run kinda small and may seem a little difficult to slide them on at first. After a few days, you will figure out how to slide them on quickly. I think they loosen a bit as well. My only problem: I've been called Robo Cop at the park.

These are comfortable to wear and even better when your hands hit the pavement they save your palms and wrist i think These are the best ones to have the fit very snug and youll keep your skin where it belongs you also have good mobility in your wrist when just wearing them, top quality for your hands and wrist

Produto excelente, valeu cada centavo, proteção máxima da sessão

É m ótimo wrist guard. A pesar de feito originalmente para patinadores, a placa maior protege muito bem o punho também no skate.

had to come up with plan B after my wrist injury. oh man .. saved me already at least twice 😅 fits perfect (went for size S - but very small wrist), perfect for skating (especially after a fracture).

So much better than the ones with the curved plastic placed on the wrist as that is what ends up hurting you. These ones are flat against your wrist/palm and snug.
