Wrist Guards

Wrist Guards for Skateboarding and Roller Sports

Wrist guards are almost as important as a helmet, as your wrist is often the first thing to hit the tarmac in a fall. Here you’ll find carefully selected models for skateboards, scooters, roller skates and other wheeled sports. They are designed to stabilise the wrist and distribute impact, reducing the risk of sprains and fractures.

Most wrist guards combine a hard splint with supportive straps and padding. This provides both shock absorption and controlled mobility, allowing you to grip, brake and perform tricks without compromising safety.

How to Choose Size, Fit and Materials

A good fit is essential for wrist guards to offer proper protection and remain comfortable during longer sessions. Use the size guide on each product page and measure the circumference around your wrist or hand, if specified.

When choosing a model, focus particularly on the following points:

• Size and adjustment: Select the recommended size and ensure the Velcro straps can be tightened securely without cutting in.
• Splints (front/back): Some guards feature splints on both the palm and the back of the hand for extra stability, while others have only a palm splint for greater flexibility.
• Material and padding: Breathable mesh fabrics and foam padding provide better comfort and reduce sweating, especially during summer or intensive training sessions.
• Closure system: Wide Velcro straps enable quick on and off, while elastic cuffs provide a snug fit around the wrist.
• Level and use: Choose sturdier models for skatepark and street sessions, and lighter, more flexible guards for cruising and commuting.

If you are between two sizes, most riders find better support by choosing the smaller one so the guard does not slide around. It should fit firmly without causing numbness in your fingers or hand.

Safety, Durability and Use Scenarios

The hand-picked favourites in this category are made to withstand repeated impacts and abrasion against asphalt, concrete and rails. Hard plastic splints absorb direct contact with the surface, while reinforced stitching and durable outer materials extend the product’s lifespan even with frequent use.

Some models are tested and certified according to relevant sports protection standards, such as CE certification for skateboarding and roller skating. This can be advantageous if the guards are used in skateparks or club environments where specific equipment standards apply.

Wrist guards are ideal for beginners practising basic balance and braking, as well as for experienced riders tackling ramps, rails and technical tricks. Use them together with a helmet, knee pads and elbow pads for complete protection. Choose the model that suits your level and riding style, add it to your basket, and keep practising new tricks with extra peace of mind.
