UPDATE: After talking with a few of you, it appears I needed to flip the plastic piece over to remove that wrist bone pain point. After doing this the gloves no longer have that issue and feel great!

I truly wanted to like them. Great branding, excellent customer service. Mine ripped on the second session and then the third session got them so bad that the pad came out of the palm. I also ended up hurting my palm worse than I ever had with other gloves. In my experience the plastic palm splints do a much better job of taking impact and also keeping you sliding instead of absorbing all of the force directly. I'm rough on wristguards, but these were destroyed way quicker than any of the others I've tried over the years. I will say they are comfortable and look great. If you don't fall often like I do, I think these might be an okay option.

Thanks for your insight! I could see the impact being worse without the plastic in the palm. Really surprised to hear about the ripping though.

Same experience. I reached out and they sent me another pair free of charge. They ripped immediately also. I really wanted to like these

I wanted to make sure you flip the plastic guard on the inside before wearing bc they do that to fit in the package. I almost sent them back before fixing. I've been using these for a while and I like them a lot more than the triple 8 wristsavers. better movement, more comfortable to fall with. easier to slide and get back up with. will def keep using them for the foreseeable future.

O no I did not. Are you saying to flip the plastic piece so it bends away from your hand?

@@ThirtyandRollin yes exactly. Once you put it on you'll be like NO WAY! it's so much better with how soft the leather is 👍

I'm not much of an inline guy, but i do wear them while im skateboarding, and they take impacts very well! I personally preferred them without the plastic wrist saver, which i know defeats some of the purpose, but they definitely kept my hands from getting messed up on the concrete . I can't wait for version 2 and the new colors!

i just got mine yesterday lol i wanted them mostly for the old skool aesthetic of paw gloves but they're decent for impact too. i was a lil sketched out by the plastic splint but my friends played with it and realized that they came backwards so switching that made the gloves way more comfortable and was able to move the wrist way more

Ya I am realizing I had them in wrong. Now they feel great!

Not gonna lie, it looks like these would cause more damage on the impact than it would protect you from... Although I would use them without that plastic part inside.

I used to have the original Pawns back in the 90s. Is this the same people doing this?

LOL i just bought some

The real question is... what would these be, for your wrist? Still sunglasses? Reproduction sunglasses? Imitation sunglasses? Tinted contacts? Ski goggles? Window tint? Those wooden glasses with the slit that natives wear in the Himalayas? Nostalgia pedants want to know.

Btw, not sure if these guys are paying you or not for promoting their product, but either way that info should be disclosed right before you make any comments about the product.

“Rook: for when you’re not a pawn but you ain’t the king, either.” 😂 These days I’m mostly speed skating and I like Rollerblade’s cheap “blade gear” wrist guard because it protects the wrist and palms but the back is mostly open. It doesn’t collect sweat. I’ve taken two gnarly falls and they’ve worked. Unfortunately I wasn’t wearing anything on my knees and elbows, and the scars from my last fall are going to be with me for quite some time!
