protective wrist/forearm splint that can be used during skiing

[weeanniemcd]

Thanks for your advice! I've had a look on the net at different types that are used specifically in skiing/snowboarding. I have found one called a 'Flexmeter Wrist Guard'. It prevents wrist hyperextension and absorbs forces - seems to be quite a good make. For some reason the forum will not permit me to post the link to show you the splint but if you google it, it should appear.


Any comments?

The flexmeter look pretty good. i'm not personally familiar with them, Dakine are also worthwhile checking out as they make gloves with inbuilt guards or separate guards too. if you don't find something where you are, most of the ski resorts have a ski shop which will sell the basic product for boarders and skiiers.
