Full details
The Dakine Wristguard Protectors are designed for snowboarders, skiers, and action sports enthusiasts who want to protect their wrists from common impact injuries during high-intensity sessions in the halfpipe or park. These guards offer a vital balance of structural rigidity and comfort, though users should note that the low-profile design is optimized for wear under gloves or mitts rather than as a standalone external layer.

FAQs
Can I wear these over my gloves?
No, these are designed specifically as an under-layer to be worn inside your gloves or mitts.
Are these suitable for rollerblading?
While designed for snowboarding, the rigid aluminum stays provide protection that may be useful for other board sports, though they are not explicitly tested for pavement abrasion.
Do these come as a pair?
Yes, the Dakine Wristguards are sold as a pair for both the left and right hand.
Will these prevent all wrist injuries?
No protective gear can guarantee complete prevention of injury. They are designed to reduce the risk and severity of common impacts.
How do I determine the right size?
The XL size is designed for larger hands; ensure the guard feels snug but comfortable, as a loose guard will not provide adequate stabilization.
Troubleshooting
Wristguard feels too bulky inside glove
Ensure the guard is pulled tight against the skin and consider wearing a glove with a larger palm or removable liner.
Hook and loop strap loses stickiness
Clean the hook and loop surface with a stiff brush to remove lint or snow debris.
Aluminum stay feels uncomfortable
Check the position of the stay; adjust the guard's placement on the wrist to ensure the stay is centered and not pressing against bone.
Pros and Cons
Pros
- High-impact protection with internal aluminum stays
- Fits easily underneath most gloves or mittens
- Easy to adjust without needing help from others
- Breathable and flexible materials ensure comfort for long days on the slopes
Cons
- Not intended for use as a standalone outer garment

Setup, Compatibility & Care
- Setup: Simply slide your thumb through the designated hole and pull the guard up over your wrist. Use the adjustable strap to tighten for a secure fit.
- Compatibility: Compatible with most snowboarding and skiing gloves. If your gloves are exceptionally tight-fitting, you may need a glove with a larger volume or size.
- Care Instructions: After a day in the snow, remove the guards from your gloves and allow them to air dry at room temperature. Do not force dry with high heat. If they become soiled, hand wash in cool water with mild detergent and lay flat to dry.
