Zone Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 Main difference to me is the thumb protection. As many of us like to reach down low, the thumb can get caught and get ripped behind. Hence the idea of the Gomer which was designed specifically for thumb protection (Dr. Mark Borzecki, who suffered such injury while snowboarding came up with the idea post injury, and developped it with the help of a physiotherapist- can't remember his name). Esthetic is in favor of the Flex. Both are designed by MDs. The Gomer has not been clinically tested but should work for wrist injury just as well as any regular wrist guards.

skategoat Posted January 7, 2005 Report Share Posted January 7, 2005 FYI, the No Gomers are now made by Auclair or at least have the Auclair name on them. I saw a single pair at Skiis and Biikes in Mississauga. I've always wondered why the No Gomers were so hard to get. I guess distribution was a challenge for a coupla doctors. Maybe Auclair will make them more available. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
