Elastic Wrist Support

I was looking for a good wrist band for a firm support. I recently started playing tennis and started feeling pain in my wrist as well as fingers after playing for an hour or two. This wrist band does it's job so well that you can feel the firmness and support while playing or performing any other activity. I ordered a small size (as my wrist is small) and it fits firmly on my hand even without strapping the band. Though the strapping band will give you more support and firmness as required. Also it cured my wrist pain quickly as it support the wrist firmly, so though you perform any activities with the same hand the pressure is reduced on your wrist. Pros: -- Strong and firm support. 100% recommended. 5 stars, no doubt -- Good for wrist pain -- Good for sports where you have to use your wrist a lot (specially racquet sports). -- Quality material. May last long, looks durable. -- Fairly priced and does it's job well. I haven't seen this brand in any store which is really sad as consumers may benefit with such a good product. I am using it always while playing tennis and it has played a part in improving my game and make me last long on the court without any worry. As its job is to firmly support your wrist you may feel it is bit tight. But still is fairly comfortable to wear it for several hours. I don't think this is a point to snatch a star because we need that firmness to perform day to day activities while it is on our wrist. Next I am going to try it while Bowling and am pretty sure it will give me the firmness and support that I need. Cheers... Update May 24th 2012 2:00 PM EST: I ordered small but they shipped me Medium and it fits well. I have a small wrist, so my suggestion would be to order medium because small would be actually for tiny wrists. Though it's a wonderful product.

I had a very bad sprain to my wrist and needed a support so I would be able to play a tournament that was only 4 weeks away. I am a 125lb woman and my wrist is 6.5 inches. I originally ordered this wrist support in a large after reading so many reviews that it runs unbelievably small. Well, the large came and it practically spun around on my wrist without the strap velcroed. If I velcroed the strap then there was a small "fold" of the material, which wasn't all that comfortable. So I quickly ordered the small/medium. The small/medium was snug to pull on and stayed snug on my wrist and then the strap added that additional support. Yes, it is snug but that is what you want with a support I would expect. The small/medium gave me the support I need to play the sport. I then took the large one and put it on behind the small. So I had the small support at my wrist and the large one behind it on my forearm towards my elbow. It is a very well made wrap and certainly offered my wrist the support I needed for this tournament weekend. I hope this helps those trying to decide on a size.

Overall this brace is excellent, and makes my wrist feel strong. It has helped me both at my desk using a trackball and at work using kitchen knives and general tasks. Here is my summary, good and bad: Good: very easy to put on since it is just an elasticized tube that easily slips over your hand onto the wrist area. I tried a competitor where the brace is a long strip and you have to try to wrap the strip around your wrist. That was nearly impossible to do since you have to do it with only one hand and matching the ends plus trying to stretch it was crazily frustrating so I returned that one. On this the tube is easy to slip on and the fabric is very comfortable against my skin. Once it is on the wrist all you need to do is adjust the velcro strap as snug as you want for the support level that is most comfortable. The velcro is super strong so once set this brace is going to stay put. Bad: As mentioned the velcro is super strong but that is also a bit of a drawback because it is really difficult to get it loose again for removal. It is impossible to get it loose if you start at the end because there is not a tab to grab, you just have to try to peel it back but there is nothing to grab onto. I saw other reviewers who mention this also and the best technique is to slip your finger in where the velcro strap goes through the plastic loop and leaves a bit of a gap you can wiggle your finger into. Then start working it loose back up to the end. Even that is not easy but it works. Overall 4 stars because the brace works very well and is comfortable and easy to install. 5 stars for that but I'm docking a star overall because of the difficulty in loosening the velcro once it is attached McDavid, if you read reviews I would suggest making the velcro a little less grippy and/or incorporating a tab at the end you can actually hold on to in order to strip the velcro back.

Well made with great fit and support, immediate help for a slight wrist issue from golf. Small and easy to store in the golf bag.

I tried one of these wrist supports for my surgically repaired wrist...the surgery was years ago, but it never healed quite right. I already have a neoprene wrist wrap that works pretty well (McDavid also makes a neoprene version of this wrist support that is very good), so I decided to give this elastic-type wrap a go. After three weeks of constant use in the gym (for both weight training and racquetball) I can say that this support has perfomed exactly as I expected. The outer velcro strap allows me to make it as loose or as tight as I want, and I don't get the level of persperation that happens with neoprene wraps (which is a plus for racquetball). These do get a bit wet after playing an hour of singles, so when I went back to Amazon to get a pair of the smaller size wrist wraps for my son (a true "gym rat"), I also got a second wrap for myself. So I just alternate between the two, and I always have a dry one to wear. I you want a simple wrist wrap that gives you varying degrees of support (based on your own choice of how tight you wear it), go ahead and pick this up.

So here is a novel use: I am a beekeeper and favour thin nitrile gloves (double gloved) to keep the beens from my hands, whilst giving great dexterity (most bee gloves are really thick: not quite boxing gloves, but not far off). The nitrile gloves are great, but leave the wrists exposed. I bought these velcro supports to 'close' the exposed joint between the gloves and the sleeve of my bee suit. The work brilliantly, securing the glove and sleeve join and the bees are totally confounded! Dexterity is great with the nitrile gloves, and my sting rate is zero at this otherwise chink in my armour.

Afin d'éviter des douleurs au poignet , j'utilise ces bracelets pour tous travaux de bricolage , jardinage , sport........ enfin à chaque fois que les poignets peuvent être sollicités

Fast schon die beste handgelenksunterstützung die ich ausprobiert habe. Wir betreiben exzessiven sportakrobatik und die handgelenksbeschwerden sind auf ein minimum reduziert. 10/10 würde sofort wieder kaufen

Not at all good.

Ich benutze diese Bandage schon seit Jahren und immer noch erfüllt sie ihren Zweck. Gutes Produkt.
