Hey, if your a guy or girl who's learning to board or looking to save your wrists (or both), then these are for you. They protect well, I've got them in a size small (cuz I'm a skinny dude) and used them underneath my small size men's gloves, and they still fit just fine. Word of warning, this protects the bottom of the wrist with a long sturdy natural fitting piece of plastic. This means that they won't protect the top part of your wrist/back of the fist if you back hand a tree or a rock by accident. The top part only has 2 smaller separate pieces of plastic that will protect a small percentage of the top of the forearm. This is fine for me since I don't do terrain park stuff, but if you do rails and what not, beware! My only complaint (as with a fair number of other gloves) is that while walking around, trying to grip your snowboard with the wrist guard on will get annoying and difficult at times if your already tired after a day on the mountain. Still, they're relatively low profile, good colors, protect the wrists at the point of impact great and you'll appreciate how your wrists don't hurt while your friends are all sitting around complaining about how they wish they had these wrist guards instead of all those colorful bruises.

They do fit under gloves, although it's a little tight. I think the only way it could be better is if it's got a brace on the other side of the wrist. Never snap your wrist on a jump again.

Demon snow wrist guard are very affordable and they fit snuggly inside medium Burton Gore (ladies glove) - its super hard for me to find gloves that fit my hands perfectly... I can gets mens glove but the fingers length would be all wrong.

I strongly recommend investing some money on good goggle (eyes), wrist guards (wrist), snowboard body armor (general body: colar bone, elbow, kidney and whole back), impact shorts (kidney, thighs, tailbone or bum), knee guard (knees) and helmet (head). You don't necessarily need to have all the things i mentioned but it would be best if you have all of them and are completely protected, right? Beginners most specially need to get good helmet, goggle, wrist guard and impact shorts... You will understand what i mean after falling on your bottom a few times... And who knows it may just save your life.

I wiped out quite a few times more than i would like to mention... a couple really bad falls that might have broken my wrist if i weren't wearing wrist guard.

Buy protective gear... Save yourself from the pain... It is not macho or cool to not wear it; the most important thing is you have fun and enjoy the full season of snowboarding in one piece.

Now go and snowboard... ;p
