Pro-Tec Street Wrist Guard

To find your fit, measure the circumference of your wrist and compare it to the brand's sizing chart. Since these guards rely on a secure fit to stay in place during a fall, you want them snug but not so tight that they restrict circulation.

The ergonomic design is specifically shaped to allow for natural hand movement, so you should still have enough dexterity for grabs and general board control. While any wrist guard adds some bulk, these are streamlined enough to keep your range of motion relatively open.

Yes, these are an excellent choice for beginners. The impact-resistant splint is designed to absorb shock and prevent hyperextension, which is critical when you are still learning how to fall safely on pavement or concrete.

Because of their low-profile, ergonomic shape, they can typically fit under loose-fitting long sleeves. However, they are designed to be worn directly on the skin for the best grip and stability, so wearing them over your sleeves is generally not recommended.

The best approach is to hand wash them with mild soap and cold water, then let them air dry completely in a shaded area. Avoid putting them in the washing machine or dryer, as the heat can degrade the materials and the structural integrity of the splint.
