Best Skate & Skateboarding Wrist Guards of 2025

“I recently purchased these wrist guards along with a Onewheel, and I couldn't be happier. I opted for the Large size based on reviews about sizing, and it fits me perfectly at 5'9 with medium hands. After two years of use and several falls, I still stand by my 5-star rating. They truly saved me during a nasty spill at 18 MPH; I just slid on the asphalt but my wrists were intact.”

“On a recent ride with my son, I almost skipped wearing wrist guards since I thought it would be an easy day. Luckily, I decided to wear them at the last minute, and I landed on my hand. The scuffs didn't show up until I got home, but I’m really glad I wore them. I highly recommend these for anyone riding.”

“I’ve tried various wrist guards, but these stand out for their protection. While the bump of the guard is a bit too large for my needs, they’re definitely high quality and protective. If you don’t require a grip for activities like skiing or biking, these are an excellent choice.”

"I find these gloves fantastic for hand protection, especially during roller skating. The thumb pads take the most impact, and these gloves have saved my hands many times. They still hold strong after months of use, but they do start to smell after a while, so I recommend soaking them in a vinegar solution before washing."

"As someone who rides a Onewheel, I can confidently say these gloves provide excellent protection. They fit snugly and have kept my hands safe during falls. Although they can be a bit tricky to get on and off, the level of protection they offer is worth it. I haven't experienced any dye staining on my hands, which is a relief!"

"I bought these gloves for roller derby, and they've been great for my needs. They protect my knuckles well, and I've had some hard falls without injury. However, I did notice that the fabric wears out faster than I'd like, especially after heavy use, but they are still usable."

"I find these pads nicer than other pads. They are the perfect length and the curved palms feel so much more natural and comfortable, making it easier to hold things."

"After a fall while inline skating, I landed on my left side. Thanks to these wrist pads, I had zero injury or pain in my wrists. They barely showed any sign of damage afterward. I highly recommend them!"

"These wrist guards are sturdy and well-made. They fit my hands well, but I wish the sizing was a bit more accurate. I ordered the wrong size, and although they are functional, I'd have preferred the correct size."

"I bought these for my kids' snowboarding adventures. They work well and are comfortable under gloves. After my daughter broke her wrist without support, I got these for her. So far, no injuries!"

"I use this to immobilize my strained wrist. It does the job well and keeps my wrist stable. It's not a cast but offers solid protection. I hope I never have to test its limits!"

"These wrist guards are fantastic! They fit perfectly even under my snowboard gloves. I feel confident using them while skating or snowboarding. A great investment for my safety!"

"I’ve been searching for the ideal safety gear for esk8ing, and upon trying these wrist guards, I feel like I’ve found the holy grail of wrist protection. They have an incredible cuff design and the most comfortable padding, allowing for natural movement. After trying multiple brands, these Flexmeter guards combine perfectly with my motorcycle gloves, providing the ultimate blend of comfort and protection. I can't wait to test them further!"

"After trying a few low-priced wrist guards, I finally got these and I’m beyond satisfied! I've been using them for over a year without any wrist pain, even after some serious falls. The length of the splint and three straps make them extremely robust. If you've been on the fence about spending a bit more, trust me, they're worth every penny!"

"I purchased these wrist guards after breaking my wrist earlier this year. They provide superior protection compared to any other wrist guard I’ve seen. They feel comfortable and secure, making me confident enough to ride again. Yes, they are an investment, but protecting my body is priceless!"

"I think these are the best wrist guards available. With my large hands, the XL size option is perfect. The Derby version offers better 'grabability' while protecting more of my wrist and palm. The design reduces impact on my hand and arm, making it a great investment for anyone who loves skating."

"I feel confident in these guards' durability. I previously had a similar design that protected my wrist well during falls. I opted for size XL this time, and it fits great, allowing for glove use underneath. Comfortable and snug without compromising protection."

"These guards are better than standard options. They cover a wider area of my palm, distributing impact effectively. While they can be a little tricky to slide on, they fit perfectly once in place. I appreciate the added ability to slide during tricks. Totally worth the cost!"

"I was initially hesitant to purchase this set of protective gear, but I’m so glad I decided to go with Flybar. The price was just right and the pink color is pretty. At around 212 lbs, the knee pads fit perfectly with some room to spare. They are soft and provide enough padding if I fall while roller skating. I really don't have any complaints about this set. I’m happy with my choice!"

"As a 5'4”, ~145 lb woman, I found the large blue pads fit me just fine. I used to be great at roller skating indoors, but outdoor inline skating was a different story! I felt a bit goofy wearing these pads, but I was grateful I had them the first time I fell. My wrist guards got scuffed, but thankfully, my body skated away unscratched. They are made of polyester, so they do make me sweaty, but for now, they’re an affordable option to keep my body safe!"

"My teenage daughter has been using the Flybar Knee and Elbow Pads along with the wrist guards for skateboarding, and I am thrilled with how happy she is with the quality and comfort. As a parent, I feel extremely satisfied with the value for money this safety gear offers, knowing she is well-protected while enjoying her sport."

"As an avid e-scooter rider, I depend on my RollerBlade Wristguard for excellent protection and comfort during each ride. The robust build keeps my wrists safe from impacts, while the ergonomic fit enhances my overall experience. I love the easy-strap closure system, which ensures they stay in position throughout my rides. Plus, the breathable mesh lining prevents overheating, even on longer journeys. These wristguards are a perfect blend of quality and affordability, making them essential for my safety gear. I highly recommend them to anyone who prioritizes safety without sacrificing comfort!"

"I recently purchased these wrist guards to wear over my motorcycle gloves while riding my EUC to work. They fit perfectly over my gloves, unlike my previous wrist guards, which left my knuckles bruised after falls. I'm really pleased with this pair!"

"I've tested out several brands, and these wrist guards are fantastic for roller skating. They have provided excellent protection for my wrists during multiple falls. I appreciate that they are lightweight and don't become too hot like some other bulkier options. They are minimal yet effective—if only I could stop misplacing them! I've owned about four pairs so far!"

"I love these wrist guards! I use them for ice skating. Not bulky and no rigid plastic guard means I don’t slide on the ice. The mesh edge makes them easy to slip on, and they fit over my slim gloves to keep my fingers warm."

"As a 76.5-year-old, I’m learning to ride a V11 unicycle. I ordered XL orange gloves and Large CTHOPER Impact Wrist Guards. Delivery was fast, just three days! I found the best way to wear them is gloves first, then the wrist guards. They feel comfortable enough to wear for hours, and I’m keeping them!"

"I started snowboarding this year and wanted protection. At first, these felt sturdy, but on my third trip, they seemed flimsier. They helped save my wrists after many falls, but I’m not sure how much longer they’ll hold up, so I give them 3 stars."

"I tried other brands in the $20-$30 range, and it's night and day in terms of quality. These wristguards are sturdy! I paid close to $100 on Amazon, but they feel great and supportive, especially as I'm recovering from a broken wrist. If I could do it again, I'd buy the gloves with guards incorporated. They barely fit my gloves, so I bought XL mittens, which lose some finger dexterity. I definitely recommend getting something to protect against the other fools on the mountain!"

"After a severe wrist sprain, I was searching for the best wristguards available online and settled on these. I’m thrilled with my decision! They are bulkier than most, but they do not impair my skating ability at all. I've taken numerous slams on my wrist, and I haven't felt a thing. My confidence has returned, and I can skate like I used to. Durability is impressive, and I would never skate without them again!"

"I've been using these wrist guards daily for EUC riding and have found them to be the best I've tried. The fit was perfect based on the recommended measurement. They provide support on both sides and allow for free fingers. However, getting gloves over them can be a challenge. I think it would be ideal if there were a way to attach a skid plate to the gloves. Despite the price, I believe these guards are worth it due to their merit and value."
