I'm a Spa Practitioner and need more than awsome wrist protection while im learning to ride powder. Would you recomend a regular wrist guard or this too good to be true glove?
If I were to purchase this glove, what size chart should I go off of? mens or womens?

I would not recommend a wrist guard at all. It just transfers the shock to the forearm or the elbow. I've seen two broken forearms, one was a compound fracture, because of wrist guards. Best thing to do is get in the habit of falling on your forearms flat instead of using your hand to catch yourself.
