So check it out, earlier this year, I broke my left wrist again. Radial distal fracture, nothing major, still in a cast for two weeks, about eight weeks for it to be totally healed and riding at full strength again. I talked to EVS, and my doctor, about the WB01 wrsit guards from EVS, simple design, soft foam backing that moves, but supports when needed. My frist impression...what a pain in the ass to put these on.....Gotte get them on, rotate to proper position, then strap them down. Second impression.... Damn, I cant tell I have them on while I am riding....
So after riding with them for about two months, I have an incedent at woodward west. Took a hell of a hit, I got bucked off the little kicker right byt he finish line, ended up with alot of injuries, but...life is good and goes on. I was contiplating not wearing the wrist guards, but decided I need to have them on. Now, aftger the hit, My wrists are fine, couple small bruises were the straps hold on, and a very small bruise on the top of the hand were the backing plate gives teh support. All of that is negligable. My wrists are in great shape. Nothing broken, no pain over over a day. They did there job well, and are ready for another round.
So here is the breakdown, Its a soft system with an adjustable amount of support, they come with two paltes, one thicker than the other, offering three levels of support, they sit static untill they are needed, and breathe well.
Upsides.
easy setup
light
work well<personally crash tested>
stay in place
budget minded
Downsides
you have to put your gloves on first
they leave some small bruised when they are used<not worn>but actually used
They are not as cool looking at the 661 units.
Easy to get too tight
Well I hope I gave an unbiased reveiw, if anyone has more questions feel free to PM me, I will answer as best I can.
