BODYPROX Impact Wrist Guards (1 Pair) - Slim Protection for Boarding

In this review of the BODYPROX Impact Wrist Guards the bottom line is simple: these are a practical, no-nonsense choice for riders and skaters who want reliable wrist impact protection without bulk. Designed with flexible ribbing to reduce overextension and a larger high-density EVA palm pad, they protect the hands that usually take a fall. The guards balance mobility and safety well, making them a sensible upgrade for beginners learning to carve, intermediate skaters practicing tricks, or recreational rollerbladers who want extra confidence on pavement.

Key Features

• Flexible ribbing: built along the top of the wrist to limit overextending in a fall while preserving range of motion for active maneuvers.
• High-density EVA padding: a thicker palm pad absorbs impact and protects the skin and bones when hands hit the ground.
• Larger padding coverage: a wider protective area covers more of the palm than typical guards, reducing the chance of a glancing injury.
• Adjustable Velcro closures: two straps across the wrist and top of the hand let users fine tune fit and keep the guard secure during activity.
• Multiple sizes: available in four sizes so users can measure palm circumference and pick a closer fit for better protection and comfort.

Who It's For

These wrist guards are best for snowboarders learning to carve, skaters practicing tricks, and rollerbladers who fall forward and naturally put hands out to brace themselves. The slim profile and flexible ribbing suit riders who need protection but do not want bulky gear to limit wrist mobility.

Users who require long cuff support for wrist immobilization after injury or those who want top-tier, heavy-duty competition-level guards should look elsewhere; these are built for impact absorption and everyday protective use rather than medical immobilization.

Pros & Cons

Pros

• Effective impact absorption from the high-density EVA palm pad that guards against hard falls.
• Flexible top ribbing reduces risk of wrist overextension while maintaining freedom to move the hand.
• Adjustable Velcro straps allow a customized fit across the wrist and hand.
• Available in multiple sizes to help users find a closer, more secure fit.

Cons

• Some users report the fit can feel tight or the Velcro quality is inconsistent, so sizing up and checking strap wear over time may be necessary.
