Hockey Wrist Guard : What is it?
| Hockey wrist guards are protective bands worn around the wrist to prevent injuries when playing hockey. They are also designed to absorb sweat and allow smooth, easy movement when handling the hockey stick. Some wrist guards cover just the wrist, while others include part of the hand.

Kinds of Hockey Wrist Guards include the following: |
Terry cloth hockey wrist guards
Terry cloth wrist guards are made of absorbent terry cloth, and are usually elastic. They are often fitted with polyethylene inserts for added protection.
Nylon hockey wrist guards
Nylon wrist guards are made of woven nylon, a tough synthetic fabric. They are fairly light and durable, but are not very absorbent. This makes them a poor choice for players who tend to sweat a lot.
Gel hockey wrist guards
Gel wrist guards consist of a gel filling inside a rubber or fabric casing. They usually extend to the back of the hand, offering the most comfort and protection.

Comfort: Choose a wrist guard that feels comfortable on your wrist. Make sure it does not constrict or limit your movement. Look for one with a stretch or adjustable design to help you find the most comfortable fit.
Protection: Make sure your wrist guard adequately covers your wrist. Look for one that is soft or lightly padded to protect against impact. If you play an active position or are subjected to a lot of rough contact, choose one that covers a large area of your hand as well. |
