These wrist-brace open-finger gloves are top-quality construction and excellent fit. Have emovable reinforcing brace on top (back of hand) and well as on the palm side. I prefer them without the top brace installed and simply removed them, still leaving a thick piece of reinforced leather for abrasion resistance. Have a nice pull loop on the wrist end making them easy to put on. My only complaint is that they are very difficult to remove. Because they conform so well to the hand and have individual finger holes, they just about form a vacuum on the hand when trying to remove them and have to be worked off slowly by pulling each glove finger in sequence repeatedly to move them down millimeters at a time. If Triple-8 would add a second pull loop to the top of the glove in the knuckle area to ease removal, I would enthusiastically give them a 5 of 5.

Great wrist protector. Have legit saved me several times. Well worth the low cost and are well built.I bought mine on Sep 3, 2022. It's Feb 7, 2025 and the material has finally expired at the edges of the palm support on both of them. After countless cycles of being drenched in sweat, dried, sprayed with Enbac, and then a few trips up to the mountain snowboarding, I'm finally on the search for replacements! For the price, I'm very very likely to just get another pair of these guys.

Easy to wear and fit my hands snugly. Have a decent grip and my normally sweaty hands feel good in them for hours of non stop usage.

These protective wrist guards are pretty intense. They feel great, although they are tight to get on and off. Hopefully that will get easier as they wear in. I like having my finger tips available and usable. It seems like they will provide great protection in the event I fall. Cross fingers I never need to test them.

I am on my fifth (5th) pair of these in four years. I get under a year out of each set. I skate 2-5 times a week, dependent on the season. Summer more, winter less. I wish I got more life out of them, but thinking about it, this isnt bad.The sizing seems right.I fall a lot and I still have functional wrists and fingers. These gloves work!There is excess dye in the gloves. Expect to have stained hands after use. Maybe lotion up your hands before putting on, to limit transfer.Eventually the threads between the fingers come undone, and the thin material holding the palm splint on will rip. Or the leather will start to delaminate. I will do a few repairs with the thin gorilla tape, but those will tear out, and then its time for a new set.

These are fantastic gloves for anyone who finds standard wrist guards lacking in overall hand protection. I mostly roller skate outside, and when I fall on my hands the pads of my thumbs take the brunt of the fall way more than my wrists. Standard wrist guards leave that thumb pad wide open for injury. These gloves have saved my hands many, many times over since I bought them 6 months ago. I wear them at least 3-4 times a week and they’re still holding strong.You’re supposed to hand wash them but when you wear them as much as I do, I recommend a long soak in a water/vinegar solution prior to washing. Because WOW do these start to smell ripe after a few weeks of sweat.

I'd like to start off by saying I love this brand. I own their helmets, elbow pads and longboard slide gloves and have never an issue. They've always been well made and reliable, and in the event of a fall, I trust them to protect me.That said, these aren't it. The materials in these are crap. The leather is super thin, as is the elastic on the side of the fingers. I was suiting up for a ride when the wrist protector ripped out of the front of the glove (yay, thin leather.) I've had to resort to a mixture of shoe goo and super glue in hopes of salvaging them, and even then I'm not sure I want to wear them.If they can't even withstand the force of being put on someone's hand, how am I meant to trust them during a fall? Super disappointed in this, a massive waste of money, would not recommend.

Bought these gloves for riding my electric unicycle. I bought them as a backup because I love the product so much and they were very competitively priced on Amazon. Slightly tight at first, but now very comfortable, and provides the assurance I need while riding. Amazon delivery excellent as well. Very impressed!!!

I measured my hand as they said, and I matched with a large. When I received them and tried them on, they were too tight. I had a hard time getting them off. I exchanged the large for an X-large, and they fit and feel great. I haven't fallen yet, and I hope never to fall.

Les meilleures mitaines (je m'en sers en gyroroue). Bien finies, robustes, double protection dessus dessous. Les concurrents ne valent rien en comparaison (testé 2 grandes marques)

Iniziamo dai contro: il telecomandino degli skateboard elettrici non lo si può tenere normalmente ma si trova comunque una posizione comoda per usarlo.I pro: tutto, è davvero perfetto e senti che le tue mani (e polsi) sono al sicuro.Volevo prendere i flatland 3d ma non si trovano da nessuna parte, e per fortuna dato che il non trovarli mi ha portato ad acquistare questi. che sono molto meglio.
