There was a problem filtering reviews right now. Please try again later.
In the end - if they were a little more true to size - it would get a full five stars. Build quality seems to be excellent.
In general, i'm a bit overprotective of my hands as I write a lot and have had issues with repetitive strain from that, so after a few falls at the skate park I can confidently say that the metal plate will keep your hands safe!
They're going to feel a little bulky and eventually a little sweaty, but it's for the best and I wholeheartedly recommend them to my skater friends!

If you measure close to one of the size thresholds I would suggest choosing the larger size. My hand measured at exactly 9", and the large fits me well.
I pro: tutto, è davvero perfetto e senti che le tue mani (e polsi) sono al sicuro.
Volevo prendere i flatland 3d ma non si trovano da nessuna parte, e per fortuna dato che il non trovarli mi ha portato ad acquistare questi. che sono molto meglio.
