Wrist fractures are the most common snowboard injury, and almost all of them happen the same way: rider falls backward, puts a hand out to catch the fall, and the wrist takes the full impact. It's an instinctive reaction that's almost impossible to train out — especially when you're learning. A wrist guard redirects that force through a rigid splint rather than letting it concentrate in the wrist joint. We carry snowboard wrist guards from Dakine, Demon and Burton, covering under-glove, over-glove and integrated glove-guard systems. Full range in stock, free shipping Australia-wide on orders over $90.
Frequently Asked Questions
Because both feet are fixed to the board, so a backward fall goes straight onto your hands. Putting an arm out is instinctive and nearly impossible to train away, which is why the wrist takes the impact so often, especially while you are learning.
A rigid splint spreads the load along the forearm instead of letting it concentrate in the wrist joint. That is the mechanism, and it is why guards are standard issue in learn-to-ride programs where falls are frequent.
Over-glove guards. They offer more protection and suit riders spending real time on the ground, which is exactly a first week on snow. The cost is slightly less dexterity handling bindings and zips.
Yes. Under-glove guards are designed for that, sitting against the skin beneath your normal gloves and staying invisible while you ride. It is the most popular option among snowboarders.
For a lot of riders, yes, because there is nothing extra to put on or forget. The practical argument is simple: the guard that gets worn beats the one left in the car because it was fiddly.
They are most valuable when you fall most, so beginners and anyone returning after a long break get the clearest benefit. Experienced riders learning new tricks fall backward too, which is the same mechanism.

The guys at Twelve Boards just helped me to purchase three new Carver surf skates for my self and two sons, they helped advise me on what would work best for all of us as we are all at different heights, weights and ability levels, unlike other shops/websites you get to talk with experienced people that know their stuff. I got a great price and the boards turned up quickly and packed really well with no damage. Couldn’t be happier with the service and gear, very happy to recommend this business to anyone interested in these sort of sports. My next purchase will be snowboards and I will be going through Twelve Boards for that purchase also. Great shop.

Been running the MTE boots for years lift ops and maintenance, better than Sorrels now that they've got a zip side!

Jones Howler 160W
There is a reason I always keep coming back to Twelve, the service and the brands. The team are super helpful, patient and don't push their preferences, they listen to your needs and experiences and help you decide from there.
Had a couple of Jones boards previously and they recommended the Howler. Who am I to say no!

Top boards...Top service 👌
I purchased two Jones snowboards on-line for my next trip to Japan. Ordering through Twelve snowboards was a smooth experience and they kept me up to date with my order from the time I placed the order to delivery. I would highly recommend Twelve for the best gear, customer service and I wouldn't hesitate to order through them again. Thanks guys!
