Burton Impact Wrist Guard True Black Adult with Flexible Splints

Description

Product Overview

Burton, a name synonymous with high‑performance snow and skate gear, brings the Impact Wrist Guard to athletes who demand both protection and freedom of movement. Constructed from a robust polyethylene (PE) shell, the guard offers a hard‑wearing barrier that absorbs impact while remaining lightweight enough for all‑day wear. The True Black finish not only looks sleek but also resists scratches and UV fading, ensuring the guard looks fresh season after season. With dimensions of 9 × 11 × 2 inches and a weight of just 0.18 kg, the guard fits comfortably under gloves or alone, making it an unobtrusive addition to any skate or snowboard setup.

Key to the guard’s performance is its flexible tapered top splint system, which follows the natural curve of the wrist and distributes forces across a broader area during a fall. The soft palm pad, positioned on the interior, cushions the wrist against pressure points, reducing fatigue during long sessions. A low‑profile design means the guard sits close to the skin, eliminating bulk that can interfere with grip or board control. The hook‑and‑loop closure system provides quick, micro‑adjustable fitting for a range of wrist sizes, from small to extra‑large, ensuring a snug yet comfortable fit for every rider.

Every Burton Impact Wrist Guard comes with a lifetime warranty, reflecting the brand’s confidence in its durability and craftsmanship. The guard is engineered for unisex adult use, making it a versatile choice for anyone who spends time on the skate park, street, or mountain. The included polyethylene insert adds an extra layer of rigidity without sacrificing flexibility, and the guard’s construction meets rigorous industry standards for impact resistance. Whether you are carving a half‑pipe, cruising the urban landscape, or tackling backcountry powder, this wrist guard delivers the protection you need without compromising performance.

Usage

Designed for both skateboarding and snowboarding, the Burton Impact Wrist Guard excels in a variety of environments. In the skate park, the guard’s low‑profile silhouette allows riders to perform tricks, grinds, and slides without the bulk of traditional protective gear getting in the way. The flexible splints adapt to rapid wrist movements, providing stability during high‑impact landings while still permitting the full range of motion required for technical maneuvers. On the streets, the guard’s durable PE shell protects against sudden falls on concrete, while the soft palm pad keeps the wrist comfortable during long rides.

When transitioning to the slopes, the guard’s waterproof‑resistant coating ensures it performs reliably in cold, wet conditions. Snowboarders benefit from the guard’s ability to absorb the sharp impact of a fall on icy terrain, reducing the risk of wrist fractures and sprains. The adjustable hook‑and‑loop straps make it easy to don and remove the guard over gloves, and the breathable interior prevents overheating during intense runs. Whether you are a beginner learning the basics or an experienced rider pushing the limits, the guard’s versatile design supports a wide range of skill levels and activity types.
