ved-bad Posted December 28, 2012 Report Share Posted December 28, 2012 Guys i am just recovering from 2 fractured fingers on my right hand so can you suggest me some wrist guards for that type of injury pls Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lowrider Posted December 30, 2012 Report Share Posted December 30, 2012 If you had actual digit injury i don't think wrist guard will be much help as far as covering the finger. but they will help to prevent over extension of wrist and that may help with pain. Splinting the fingers in conbination with wrist guards may be the best option fitting a mitt or glove over the guards is an issue if you have large hands but i find a gauntlet style leather mitt works good . Visit skateboard shop for wrist guards. Pushing yourself off the snow with splayed fingers isn't much fun with injured digits. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mucknbullets Posted January 13, 2013 Report Share Posted January 13, 2013 Which fingers as some "Lobster" gloves might help. (What they have been called over this side of the pond by bikers). Mainly done for heat/thermal purposes but having the 2 fingers in same place would allow some strapping as per lowrider's comment. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lafcadio Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 Dakine Nova mittens with integrated wrist guards: http://www.rei.com/product/842040/dakine-nova-wrist-guard-mitts Not sure if they would help in your case, but they would probably provide some level of protection.

jp1 Posted January 14, 2013 Report Share Posted January 14, 2013 I agree with lowrider, get some wrist guards that fit you properly. As extra insurance at times I've taped all four fingers together (KT Tape works great) and use mittens thus keeping all digits together lessening the chance of injury to them (IMO).

Gcarve Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 Check out Level snowboard gloves, with built in wrist guards. They look well engineered. Although I don't have any personal experience with them, a friend I ride with is buying them, so I'll be able to provide his feedback soon.

iLikeSnow Posted January 15, 2013 Report Share Posted January 15, 2013 A wrist guard will not prevent injury to your fingers! As others already said, a good glove will help some way with that. What you really should do to prevent injury to your wrists, and fingers, is learn how to fall! Dont extend your arm behind you when you fall on your back! Keep your fingers together. Make fists if you feel uncertain about the terrain/if you will go through upright. This may also help you increase body tension, and improve your riding. Another note on wristguards: they don't exactly prevent injury at all. If you have a bad fall, they try to save your wrists, but the power doesn't just disappear. The way they work, they may instead break your lower arm! (which is generally preferable to a broken wrist, but still hurts!) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
