Flexmeter Flexguard : the first wrist protection for all summer and winter riding sports !

Why should I wear protection ?

In in-line skating, wrist trauma due to falls happens frequently.
The radius fractures are always located on the radius’ inferior extremity, just above the highest part of classic wrist protections. Theses fractures are caused by the fall on the heel of the hand and the wrist in hyperextension (or dorsal flexion).

Flexmeter’s protection concept

Thanks to its thermoplastic Hytrel® by Dupont™ protection -resistant but flexible-, Flexmeter’s protection prevents wrist hyperextension from happening and absorbs compression forces.
Flexguard is a comfortable splint covering more than the half of the forearm. It was conceived specially for complex anatomy of the wrist’s area.

Flexguard allows for the wrist’s mobility, unlike the old-style in-line skate wrist guards which are short and rigid, and are even more dangerous because they cause fractures upper on the forearm.

Flexguard’s innovation

A clever removable piece allows Flexguard to be used both in summer for in-line skating, skateboarding, mountain-biking, and in winter for snowboarding and freeride activities.

A proven efficiency

The field studies comparing snowboarders wearing Flexmeter Snow to snowboarders without any protection showed a decrease of 67% in wrist fractures.
