The Wristguard Glove combines the cold weather protection of a gauntlet length DWR treated shell, DK DRY™ waterproof insert, and high loft synthetic insulation, with the added protection of removable rigid nylon plates in the backhand and palm. The Wristguard Glove is designed to minimize the impact on your range of motion, while also minimizing the impact on your wrist from a gnarly wipeout. So next time you say "hold my beer," you'll still be able to hold your beer once it's over.
