Dakine Wrist Guards Low Profile Wrist Protection Pair

Perfect snowboarding gloves! I've tried so many brands and this one i am by far the happiest with. There's just enough room in the fingers that allow some movement. I hate when they are so snug you can barely move your fingers. I just end up getting so cold and not being able to move my fingers at all makes it so much worse. These gloves have built in support for the wrist and also a band that straps around the wrist for added support. So between the extra room in the fingers and the added support for the wrist this is the best combo for a glove. There is also room to add in hand warmers which I always use. 2 battery operated hand warmers in these gloves will keep you warm for the entire day. I got a size small and they fit great! I'm 5'6" 127lbs.

Perfect! Love them!

Love these gloves but they lie about touch screen ability in the add. I have a pair from years ago and felt it was a hoax, it is lol. Super warm comfy and true to size. Also there is no such thing as women’s. These are only men’s but Large work great for my 8.5 female hands. I feel naked without these while snowboarding especially in the parks. Great wrist protection. These and helmets are a need!!!

Nice fit and well made.

I bought the size small (I wear women's size medium gloves) and put these under size large women's mittens for snowboarding so that I'd have pently of room. Worked great! Great support, maybe just a smidge tight but not noticeable once I got going, and actually kept my hands plenty warm. Wouldn't be able to wear these on top or below glove inserts. I fell one time without them on and instantly regretted it, so they went right on after that and I no longer worried about hurting my wrists.

I snowboard poorly and have prior wrist injury, so wrist protection is a must for me. Prior to having these I had to opt for summer sports wrist protection under large size snow gloves, was very not comfy. Got these and they are amazing! They are made of super sturdy rubberey-coated material that won't fall apart quickly, unlike 3 pairstof gloves that each lasted me 1 season. The wrist guards are hidden in pockets and can be removed for washing or when you wanna use the gloves for non sport activities, like winter hiking and whatnot. Guards definitely work, I fall alot and this weekend was very icey, I kept falling on that one icy spot, one time fell to the point where my knees got bruised through knee pads, would probably be some major injury w/o them and no issues with wrists regardless of how the fall went. Amazing! I wear size 7 gloves in Women sizes and S in Dakine (grey + teal color option) fit great: snug around wist and comfy perfect length in fingers. There is additional strap that secures wrist guards to where they belong. Putting these on and taking them off is pretty easy. They do look bit bulky but not horribly so. They were warm enough for -10C/13F. Would probably need glove liners if it walls below that. All and all highly recommend and quality gloves. And definitely wear protection not just for wrists, but for you knees, head and butt! Stay safe!

I ordered 1 size up to be on the safe side, However the thumb cutout is still way too small, and too painful to wear for more than a minute.

My research into wrist guards taught me that the guards should not be too stiff. Wrist guards that are stiff and inflexible could cause a fracture of the forearm instead of the wrist. These Dakine wrist guards appear to contain a metal insert that does not allow for any wrist flex. I felt like my forearm would be at risk if I used these. I didn't want to take that chance so I sent them back for a refund. Others reviews regarding the small size of these wrist guards are accurate. I wear and size 9 (large) glove and the XL wrist guards fit me OK. If you want a better protection for snow sports, Dakine still makes a glove (as of 2024) with a built-in wrist guard that does flex. I used these gloves for several seasons and experienced no injuries despite several good crashes on the slopes.
