QA Lacking but Well Designed Otherwise
I’m giving 3 stars because while mine were defective (right thumb hole was narrower and the top rubber plate was sewn crooked) it seems well-designed to save your wrist from very serious impact otherwise. So if I had received a good pair, I would rate these a 5. I just picked up roller skating again after quite some time and only plan on the casual putter around my neighborhood and maybe a trick or two. If you plan on doing roller derby or are a serious worry wort, these wrist guards are for you. I bought these just in case because I was worried about the hand I make my living with but my regular degular Triple 8s have been pulling their weight.i’ll add that sizing wise, the chart is pretty solid. I may be a big girl but I have tiny, childlike wrists and hands and still had a little room in the small around my palms even with the compression.As an aside, I’m waiting for the Smith brown leopard small wrist guards to come back in stock. They’re way more ME than these were.

The quality is great good room for my thumbs , the straps are stretchy to adjust tightness around wrist. These wrist guards slide up into the wrist that’s why there’s a small loop on the bottom by the palm plate so it’s not like other brands that strap in but I don’t mind it at all.
I was hesitant to purchase as it’s my first time buying this protective gear but I’m so glad I went for Scabs brand.
Going to use these for roller skating to prevent breaking my wrists in a fall I think these will do just great.
Only thing that bugs me is I can’t wear my Apple Watch with it comfortably since it goes past the wrist but will try to work with it for now.
Planning to update after use but so far upon receiving, I love them!

4.0 out of 5 stars Wondering if I got the wrong size
Reviewed in the United States on July 3, 2020

I'm a 4'11" female and thought my hands were pretty small; pretty sure I measured before ordering. I ordered Medium so in theory these shouldn't be too snug, but man these guys are not very comfortable. They feel quite tight and my thumb just doesn't seem to line up well in these wrist guards. I'm just a casual (albeit clumsy) roller skater so I guess I'd recommend something smaller and less obtrusive if you're not doing any serious skating. I think I'm gonna switch to the atom palm guards if these bug me too much.

I am in love with these wrist guards. They fit like a grove and you don't have to mess around with three different strips of Velcro like a lot of the other types of wrist guards on the market. The only thing that someone should be aware of before buying this product is the fact that you have to pull these over your hands and writs to get them securely on your wrists. This isn't a problem for me because I have really slender wrists but for other it could be a problem. Lastly, these wrist guards are very flat which I love they don't make the swooping motion under your wrists which is actually a relief for my wrists.

2.0 out of 5 stars Poor durability and questionable design
Reviewed in the United States on August 26, 2014

Having been a roller derby referee, I have owned other Smith protective products and have been satisfied with them. These wrist guards however fall short of the quality I would expect from them. The materials seem to be decent enough, with a snug, padded sleeve construction and sewn-in upper and lower shock absorption. The top is exceptionally appealing, as it is a somewhat rubberized, jointed version of the typical molded hard plastic inserts found in most other brands of wrist guards.

Unfortunately, this is where the Smith guards appeal ends. After one session of use skateboarding at an indoor wooden bowl (and taking no major spills or otherwise compromising the pads with contact to the ground), the stitching has come loose on one of the pads, exposing the bottom insert. This would possibly not be a problem if the inserts were not sewn in, but they are, and there would be no reasonable way to bandage these to make them last longer and keep the insert in place. On the other guard, the material (a leatherette material) holding it in place is wearing through, and the plastic is about to poke right out of it.

Fit is another concern I found with these. Unlike some other brands, which use a wrap-style fit (utilizing Velcro® on straps that wrap around your wrist) the Smiths guards have a fitted sleeve. My wrists are rather skinny, whereas my hands are pretty wide. This makes it difficult to get a size that fits well, and I struggled to get the guard over my hand and into the thumb and finger holes. Once on it feels fine, but getting it over that stretch is a chore. Spend an hour sweating in them, and it's curtains for ya.

For the cost, I could not justify recommending these guards. I would suggest a budget pair of Triple 8, or 187s, before I would spend another 10 or 15 dollars more on these.

They DO get sweaty, and are difficult to get off and on, but are quite comfortable overall, and definitely seem to give the perfect amount of shock protection in case of a serious fall (broke my right wrist earlier this year- without guards on!). They're fraying already, just because they're so hard to pull off and on though. I like 'em anyway.

Got these for the freshmeat roller derby program. The first leason was how to fall. These did an amazing job. Im almost 250 pounds and that much weight during a fall could break a bone. With these I dont even notice.

1.0 out of 5 stars Mis-aligned stitching makes for very uncomfortable and awkward fit
Reviewed in the United States on May 24, 2017

I don't know if it was a manufacturer defect, or what. But these wrist guards were terrible, and that's pretty sad, considering I have loved their knee pads and their elbow pads.

The stitching and placement was so crooked on the right hand, that the right hand wrist guard fit improperly. It was practically sideways on my wrist. I hope that this was a one off, as smith scabs other products have been spot on for me.

I was super disappointed. I actually needed these for practice today, and with the fit on the right hand, not only is it improper, it's super uncomfortable, so I will be sending these back.
