Wrist guard sketches

[designer]

Hey, thanks for all your opinions.. Check these sketches.. and try and give me some feedback. I try to take in consideration that they have cushion in the part of the wrist, that they are breathable of fabrics like cotton or something like that.. i tried not to make it too stiff and provide hard plastic areas only where needed.. which are the most common impact zones of the hand.. i also considered the flexibility of the hand, since you want your hand to move and not be stiff all the time.. if you look closely you can see that these sketches have differente levels of safety.. some are more protective than others.. i also tried to consider the fact of getting cuts and scratches when you fall, that is why the glove-like guard is better.

Note: all sketches are of the left hand so you dont get confused.

but i hope to hear some feedback.. thanks to all, again

orange and black one looks cool

The second ones are good. But...is there any way to make it a little more low profile? The reason I don't wear protective gear is because it restricts my movement like hell.

i wouldnt mind a pair...lol

yea they look good but would it stop your wrist bone moving place ...

my hand went like up above my wrist when i broke it...

The black and orange is the best, but could probably be improved by extending the hard plastic a little towards the thumb across the palm. If you feel your wrist at the bottom of your palm, you can feel where your two arm bones meet your wrist. You want both of those protected. Many breaks happen when someone falls and tries to catch himself with his hands; the impact on the end of those two bones causes the bones to buckle and break. That's what just happened to the drummer of my band, and after the doctor explained it to me, I thought you might want that info to help your project.
