Don’t fall to wrist injury

There are two things I always take with me when I go snowboarding. One is a helmet. The other is a pair of snowboarding gloves with wrist protectors built in. I realized the need for both during my second-ever lesson, when I crash-landed on my back and hands while descending the bunny hill. My head hit the ground, but I didn’t suffer a concussion. When I realized this, my first thought was, “Thank you, God.” My second was “It’s time to get a helmet.”

While my head was fine, my right wrist were not. I sprained it. The injury gave me some action-sports-hero cred with some young cousins, but it made it tough to type for a few weeks. Sometime later I found Flexmeter gloves with built-in wrist protectors, and I’ve worn them ever since. I think they’ve saved me a few times, especially when I tried to use an arm to control my board in the trees.

I lost my old pair of gloves recently, and asked my supplier if she had any in my size. She volunteered to send me a replacement pair free, in exchange for a small mention in my blog. I have long sang the praises of these gloves to anyone who will listen, either on my website or on the slopes. I think they’re that good. If I’ve convinced you of that fact, visit Flexmeter.com, where you can buy a pair.

Now, here’s Lauren to give you a few details about the Flexmeter gloves.
