Flexmeter Glove and Wrist Guard Testimonials from Satisfied Customers
EXCELLENT! I am going to your site right
now to order! (Flexmeters.com)
I really appreciate all the helpful super speedy
replies!
Hopefully, we will both enjoy the trip- she; because
of better protection and me; as long as we don't end up in the ER again.
I know, I know- nothing is guaranteed
Be well and Happy New Year!

"Boy, am I glad to get my
Flexmeter #3s!!! My husband and I are both Trikkers (a 3-wheeled,
human-powered cambering vehicle; see videos at www.trikketampastore.com).
Since both of us make our living typing and working on the computer,
Flexmeters are mandatory protective gear in our book, right up there with
helmets! If you stop to think about it, the cost of a pair of
Flexmeters is heckuva lot less than just one visit to the emergency room."

Hi Lauren,
The gloves just arrived by FedEx so will be able to take them with me
to London tomorrow.
Once again thank you for your amazing customer service and for
caring enough about people that you have a website focusing on boarder
safety.

Hi Lauren:
I've received the AZZPADZ I ordered but I think I need a smaller size as my
AZZ is not that large.
By the way, love the wrist guards. Had some bad ice at windham last weekend
and they worked great! Plus, unlike regular wristguards, you can actually
pick up things with these on.
Thanks

Hi Lauren,
Thanks for the quick and positive response. My daughter won't be
snowboarding again this season as she lives in London and this was her first
try at snowboarding.
She did pretty well and got up the first day and was trying easy blues by
the fifth day. She said that without all the protective clothing I bought
her (.., Azzpadz, Flexmeter gloves and a helmet) she would have given up at
the end of the second day because she was so sore even with all the
protection. She also had some serious head bangs so the helmet was critical.
If I had not read your website I would not have bought her this gear.

Hi Lauren,
Thanks again for all of your information and help with my wrist guard
questions.
I just placed the new order to get the Double Wrist Guards and also the
Azzpads.
You are great to work with; I really appreciate the customer service and
the great products you offer!
Thanks!

Hi Lauren,
I wanted to email you and add my testimonial to the huge list of positive
feedback already on your site. Since receiving them, I have certainly put my
Flexmeter gloves through their paces.
While riding last weekend, I accidentally caught my front edge, fell forward
at full speed and landed on my left palm hard. Hard enough to hyperextend
through the plastic splint and sprain my wrist. I shiver to think what would
have happened without my Flexmeters on.
I am absolutely convinced they saved me from a very painful and detrimental
break. I cannot stress how lucky I feel to have been wearing Flexmeter wrist
protection; I was spared! Everyone who rides should wear wrist protection
and if you ask me Flexmeter is the best in the business.
Have fun and always ride safe,
Patrick G.

I purchased a pair of the Flexmeter double protection wrist guards
last year which I wear under my normal mittens and I will never snowboard
without them again. I would really like to buy a pair of the gloves with
the DOUBLE protection integrated within. Can I buy them from your site?
Thank you for your kind attention.
Sincerely,

Lauren -
Thanks for the information. I bought the Flexmeter for my son who was coming
off his second broken wrist (one from boarding). He had a successful season
after using the Flexmeter and he wears them every time out.
Thanks for endorsing the product, it is a great product!!!!

My son used the Flexmeter wrist guards while playing
football( middle linebacker) after getting buckle
fractures on both wrists during middle school football
season.
They worked great. He played three games at the end of
the season with no additional wrist injuries.

Thank you for sending the
Flexmeters
priority mail.. We got them last Wednesday.
This was my daughters 1st snowboard lesson and so I wanted to make
sure she had every opportunity to enjoy herself. The
Azzpads keeping
her tail bone pain freent a long way toward her enjoying herself.
I am very pleased with the glove wes, pads, and customer service. I
appreciate
your personal touch in dealing with orders. You have been wonderful to
work with.
Thanks Lauren.

Lauren says "didn't you just order Flexmeters from me,
now you are ordering again?"
Hey, ya I already ordered two different times. But
I need some skate ones and some snowboard ones. I just gave my old pair to a
buddy. These guards are the s__t, coming from a guy who broke both arms last
season! So whenever you get a chance to get some more large's in just send a
pair my way. No hurry. Thanks,

The Flexmeters work great. I fell 6 feet onto my wrists dropping
into the pool i've been skating and i felt them dissipate the shock. So they
do seem to work. Can't wait to try my luck snowboarding with them. (Flexmeters.com)
thanks again, ~ harrison NY July 2007
Thanks for Everything, including the amazing GLOVES, I
love them! When
i broke my collar bone I believe they saved me from breaking my wrist!

Hi Lauren,
The Wrist Guards arrived today in the post - PERFECT!!!!!
They fit great and I can't believe how much support they give! Can't wait to try
them out - hopefully heading to the indoor snow dome on Friday morning :o)
I've got my wife wearing one of them, while we wash her removable arm splint to
help her broken wrist and stop her moving around while her own splint dries. I
actually think the Flexmeter is better than her own splint!!!!
Did you get the Azzpadz in stock yet?
Thanks again for ALL your help! Superstar!
Cheers,

I love the
Flexmeter gloves! People always ask me about
them, and I tell them about your site and encourage them to purchase a pair. I'm
certain they've prevented a few broken bones already, and since I started
wearing them, I don't even think about hurting my wrists anymore. And thanks,
too, for the excellent customer service.

Hi Lauren,
Thank you for such an immediate response and for waiving the service charge. I
wasn't expecting the refund to be initiated so quickly. I mailed the wrist
guards today and they should arrive in approximately 2-4 days. Besides the tight
fit around the thumb I really liked the wrist guards and look forward having the
gloves.
It's been a refreshingly positive experience working with you and your company.
Thanks again.

The Flexmeter gloves have worked out well for my son, and kept his hands
warm enough even during last Thursday's bitter cold and windy spell.

"As a physician, I am always looking for ways to make my own sons sports
activities safer.
After reading of the origin of Flexmeter in the New York Times, it didn't
take long for me to order them. Now both of my kids have worn them as their
sole snowboarding glove for the past four years.
These gloves are something my boys will wear without reminding. They find
them warm and comfortable. I find them a simple safety aid. As beginners the
benefit of the Flexmeter was for multiple off-balance falls. Now that the
that they are more experienced boarders and ride at high speed, velocity and
force of impact for even rare falls are the worry.
Sadly, people don't realize the true anguish of a wrist or forearm
injury. The pain, time lost, and ‘overall’ cost of these injuries can be
shocking. In my medical practice I care for patients every year, who need weeks
of recovery or surgery for fractures that this product can help minimize or
prevent. I would estimate the cost of a wrist injury at $10,000 or more,
with medical care, rehab, and lost income figured in."
While the initial cost of Flexmeter is a bit higher than some products, the benefits
of reducing or preventing this type of injury is worth it. I buy this
product at retail prices without any financial backing from the manufacturer
or distributor."

As a beginner snowboarder, your data on wrist injuries, protection with
your glove/wrist guards, and lack of protection with rollerblading wrist
guards (which is what I wore last year) is extremely interesting and well
presented on your website.
After using your wrist protection gloves, I feel that they are truly
excellent, and I have a comfort level with continuing to snowboard and not
risking major injury.

I am a physician involved for many years with
trauma surgery. When I changed from many years of skiing to the new sport
for me of snowboarding, I researched the potential dangers in great detail,
especially the Canadian data. I feel so much safer using your Flexmeter
device. A wrist fracture is not something I need in my line of work. Clearly
the risk is much lower using the Flexmeter, and the competing splints I have
seen at ski shops are a waste in comparison.
The only problem is that using the Flexmeter obviously caused me to ride
more aggressively, but that is so much fun. You can just feel the force in
the Flexmeter, supporting the wrist and hand, when you take a radical fall.
Thanks for making this available in the U.S. I insist on my children using
them as well.

My daughter and her boyfriend are taking up snowboarding and as a nurse I
know that wrist fractures are big with first time snowboarders. I was
researching wrist guards on google and saw information about your flexmeters
as well as others. I was impressed with yours and that's why I purchased two
of them for Christmas presents for my daughter and her boyfriend.

Lauren,
What a great surprise for you to check in on me. {after pre-Flexmeter
mountain biking accident.} I'm back in the saddle again. I'm 95% recovered
and wearing my Flexmeter wrist guards religiously. Thankfully, I have not
tested their efficacy. I've been recommending them to everyone, though. Now
that I have them, I may take up snowboarding this winter. I'm sure the wrist
guards would then get a full workout. Hope your well and enjoying the
summer. Thanks for your concern.

I just wanted to say thank you for all your help with
my wrist guard. I didnąt expect it to be that easy and am very pleased
for it. I have told everyone that I know that snowboards about your
site. I know a couple of them will be buying the wrist guards next
season. I noticed that they have made improvements to the construction
of the wrist guards too. Namely the strap having the plastic on the
end. Which is great since it keeps the strap from coming out of the
buckle.
Again, thank you for the exceptional customer service. I
am an extremely happy customer.

Hi Lauren!
I just wanted to let you know that the [Flexmeter] gloves worked very
well - there were several falls (especially the first day) where I felt that
the braces saved my wrists from severe injury; thanks!

Hey Lauren,

been a huge success. I have also been telling other parents about them whenever
possible. My girls continue to grow and the smalls are now tight on the 12-1/2

While its water dynamics aren't stellar, the wrist guard wears well and still

best wrist protection currently available. As for me, I've proven its not just
for snowboarding.
I would recommend your company and the Flexmeter product to anyone.

I found your site while looking for snowboard gloves with wrist guard
inserts. I had a freak accident two years ago and broke both my writs on an
ice patch. After 8 weeks of casts and 2 months of physical therapy I decided
to get back on my board and hit the slopes. Been using rollerblading gloves
since then but I've been looking for a better option. Your site is full of
tips that will help me bet over the fear of getting hurt and actually
improve my current skills. Thanks!

Hi Lauren,
I just wanted to thank you for creating SnowboardSecrets.com. I'm 45 years
old and I had tried snowboarding before finding your site but I got so beat
up from falling, I was afraid to try it again. I thought I was too old or
something. Then I found your site and followed your advice and got kneepads,
an Azzpadz, flexmeter gloves and a helmet. My
next snowboarding experience was completely pain-free and was much more fun!
Now I'm hooked! So thanks!

Hi Chris,
So nice to get your letter. I do work so hard on the site! Glad the
protection is working. That is why I started the site. To share the info
that no one else will tell you because they think you have to get beat up
snowboarding to pay your dues. Balderdash!
Thanks again!

I loved your recommendations on protective
gear - I can't tell you how many times I was told that "falling will
toughen you up". Maybe when I was 16 - many, many moons ago - but now it
just leaves me bruised and battered. Thank you for bringing proper
perspective on this - lack of proper padding would have finished me before I
had even given snowboarding a chance! That article alone convinced me that
this was a site worth reading "cover to cover" so to speak.

Dear Lauren,
I'd like to compliment you on your product and service.
1) You took my call after business hours to answer my
questions.
2) You shipped my order w/in 1 business day.
3) My order arrived in Singapore, by regular mail, 5 business days later.
4) The quality of the flexmeter wrist guard is excellent and it is very
durable.
My broken wrist was still in a cast when I ordered the
wrist flexmeter guard from you. I needed it specifically for a vacation I
was taking with my family. We went to Phuket, Thailand, two weeks after the
cast came off. I used the brace while canoeing, jet-skiing, horse-back
riding, body surfing, boogie boarding, and most risky of all... playing with
my two kids. Since then I've worn it while swimming laps and jungle running
here in Singapore.
While its water dynamics aren't stellar, the wrist guard
wears well and still looks new. Most importantly, I have 100% confidence
that you have sold me the best wrist protection currently available. As for
me, I've proven its not just for snowboarding.
I would recommend your company and the flexmeter
product to anyone.

P.S. If you recall, I am a large man with a small frame.
The large size is a good snug fit on me. I'm glad you told me not to go with
the medium. The medium would have been too small.
Thanks again, it's always nice to get such great service! [re: Flexmeter
