Level Protective Gloves - any thoughts???

Hi

I broke my wrist last season and it sucked so thought I should start using protection on my wrists.I looked into wrist guards but they seem too bulky and uncomfortable so i have just bought a pair of the Level Butterfly Protective Gloves from the US, which have built in guards.  I have been told that they dont sell them in Australia for legal reasons….....just wondering if anyone knows why and if you have used these gloves lately - what do you think of them??

 

I have no idea Noah - maybe it is just a distribution issue??? But would be interesting to know in case it is safety related.

Welcome to Boardworld, @EllieMay!

I have no idea about the Level gloves, to be honest.

We do sell wrist guards and wrist guard gloves for snowboarding. Link.

The only legal thing I could think of is if they aren’t tested to actually help your wrists. If @rider26 is selling them in the BW store, you know they will be legit and actually protect your wrists.
