187 Derby Wrist Guard

187 Derby Wrist Guard

Low-profile, slide-on wrist guard developed for roller derby.

The 187 Derby Wrist Guard is designed with skating in mind, keeping the athlete well protected and less restricted. It's built for roller derby, where you need full use of your fingers, and it works just as well for skateboarding, longboarding and rollerskating.

A cupped, contoured protective plate covers a wider area of the palm and wrist, expanding the protective zone to spread out the energy of hard impacts. It slides on quickly, leaves your fingers free, and uses a padded, perforated interior with a sweatband for a quick wipe-off.

Size Guide

Wrap a soft tape measure around your hand at the knuckles, fingers together. That's the measurement 187 uses for its wrist guards. 187 says its chart is a guide based on averages. If you're between sizes or unsure, size up: customers generally do better with the larger size.

The Derby Wrist runs a size smaller per measurement than the standard 187 Wrist Guard, so check the chart rather than going by your usual size. 187 publishes this chart in inches; cm values are converted and rounded.

About 187 Killer Pads

187 Killer Pads started out in an upholstery shop run by a single family, and that sewing-room background still shows in every pad: ballistic nylon, industrial-weight stitching and shapes refined over years of feedback from riders. The Pro Knee is the flagship, and 187 calls it the trusted choice of professional skaters and top athletes worldwide for bowls, vert ramps and heavy sessions.

The pro connections run deep. Keegan Palmer and Steve Caballero have both had signature 187 pads, and Lizzie Armanto worked with 187 on what it calls the first women's pro model pads in skateboard history. On the roller derby side, the Pro Derby Knee was developed with input from top derby skaters, and collabs with Independent Trucks keep the skate culture front and centre. From a first six pack to full Pro gear, it's the pad brand riders trust when they're going big.

FAQs

What size 187 Derby Wrist Guard should I get?
Measure around your hand at the knuckles and match it to the chart: S fits 18–20cm (7–8in) up to XL at 25–28cm (10–11in). If you're between sizes or unsure, 187 recommends going up a size.

Derby Wrist or standard Wrist Guard?
The Derby Wrist is lower profile with a wide cupped plate across the palm and wrist, and it leaves your fingers free for derby and rollerskating. The standard 187 Wrist Guard uses a thick splint at the base of the hand and suits skateboarders and beginners.

Can I use these for skateboarding?
Yes. 187 designs them for skating in general, and the slim, slide-on shape suits skateboarding and longboarding as well as derby and rollerskating.

How do I care for them?
187 doesn't publish care instructions. Use the sweatband to wipe off mid-session, air them out after skating and let them dry fully before packing them away.
