A little background:
I ordered these (large size) to protect my wrists while snowboarding. Given I'm in the east, the trails here can be very unforgiving; we tend to get hard, icy, packed-down snow. As luck would have it, I sprained my left wrist before they arrived. Amazon said they would come in 3 days when I ordered them at 1am; they arrived the next day. *thumbs up*
Pros:
-Humbly priced
-Well made
-Provides comfortably firm support for my sprained wrist
-Performs its job function
Cons:
-The (p)leather rubs the skin between my thumb and index finger raw when I wear the guard for prolonged periods of time. However to its credit, it's very mild; perhaps it's just my big hands.
***This may be an issue for skateboarders, however as a snowboarder I wear under-armor gloves so it's not a problem.
-If you plan on wearing gloves over these you might want to consider getting the next size up. I have a very nice pair of Burton Gore-Tex gloves that *just barely* fit.
For the price, you can't go wrong!Get more detail about TSG Black Wrist Guard (Small).
