Burton Impact Wrist Guard True Black Small with Lifetime Warranty

Description

Product Overview

Burton, a name synonymous with high‑performance snowboarding gear, brings the Impact Wrist Guard to athletes who demand both safety and freedom of movement. Engineered for adult riders, this guard combines a low‑profile silhouette with robust protective technology, ensuring that the wrist stays secure without sacrificing style. The guard is finished in a sleek True Black hue, a timeless color that blends seamlessly with any board‑or‑skate outfit, while the Small size is tailored for a snug yet comfortable fit on a wide range of hand dimensions.

The core of the guard is a 100% polyester shell that resists abrasion, moisture, and the harsh impacts typical of skate parks and mountain runs. Inside, a flexible tapered top splint follows the natural curve of the wrist, distributing force across a larger area and reducing the risk of fractures. A soft palm pad cushions the hand, preventing bruises from repetitive contact with the board or skateboard deck. The adjustable hook‑and‑loop strap system allows riders to fine‑tune the compression level, providing a custom fit that stays in place even during aggressive tricks or high‑speed descents.

Usage

Designed for both snowboarding and skateboarding, the Burton Impact Wrist Guard excels in a variety of environments. In the backcountry, where icy conditions can amplify falls, the guard’s reinforced splint absorbs shock and keeps the wrist aligned. On urban skate parks, the low‑profile design prevents the guard from catching on rails or ledges, while the flexible strap adapts to rapid movements, allowing riders to pop ollies, grind rails, and land tricks with confidence. The guard is also suitable for freestyle snowboarding, park sessions, and even casual rides on groomed runs, making it a versatile piece of protective equipment for any rider who values safety without compromising performance.

Because the guard is lightweight—just 0.18 kilograms—and compact, it fits easily into a backpack or gear bag, ready for the next session. The durable polyester exterior stands up to repeated exposure to snow, salt, and street grime, while the internal padding remains resilient after countless impacts. Whether you are a seasoned pro or a weekend enthusiast, the guard’s easy on‑and‑off design means you can gear up quickly, focus on the ride, and trust that your wrists are protected.

FAQ

What size should I choose if I have a medium hand?

The Impact Wrist Guard is sized based on wrist circumference rather than hand length. For a medium‑sized hand, the Small size typically fits wrists measuring 6.5–7.5 inches in circumference. If you are between sizes, the adjustable strap allows for a comfortable fit, but we recommend measuring your wrist and comparing it to the size chart on Burton’s website for the most accurate selection.

Can I wear the guard on my right hand as well?

Yes, the guard is designed for left‑hand orientation but can be comfortably worn on the right hand if needed. The flexible splint and strap system are ambidextrous, and many riders use the same model on both wrists for symmetrical protection. However, for optimal ergonomics, Burton offers separate left‑ and right‑hand versions, so consider the intended primary hand for the best fit.

How does the lifetime warranty work?

Burton’s lifetime warranty covers any manufacturing defects in materials or workmanship for the life of the product. If the guard develops a defect under normal use, you can contact Burton customer service with proof of purchase, and they will arrange a repair, replacement, or refund at no additional cost. The warranty does not cover damage caused by misuse, accidents, or modifications.

Is the guard suitable for beginners?

Absolutely. The guard’s low‑profile design and easy‑adjust strap make it user‑friendly for riders of all skill levels. Beginners benefit from the added protection during learning phases, while the guard’s comfort ensures it does not hinder the development of proper technique. Its durability also means it will last as the rider progresses to more advanced maneuvers.

Can I use the guard for other sports like BMX or rollerblading?

While the guard is optimized for skateboarding and snowboarding, its protective features are applicable to any activity that places stress on the wrist, such as BMX, inline skating, or even parkour. The flexible splint and adjustable strap provide a secure fit across a range of motion, making it a versatile piece of safety equipment for multiple extreme‑sport disciplines.
