Less money than a hospital bill for a broken wrist...these gloves are well worth the money. I had regular wrist guards under my gloves before, and they were so bulky and uncomfortable. These gloves are a much better choice. They aren't bulky, and while they are stiff to protect your wrists, they're not uncomfortable at all. They're as warm as my fleece lined gloves, and waterproof. The picture makes the fingers look like something out of Robocop, but they’re comparable to the fingers on my regular pair of gloves. Plus Burton put little bungees on the end of the gloves so you can hook them to your sleeves.

Very functional gloves. Kept the fingers warm but good breathability. Very secure wrist guard and knuckle guards. Only down side is that they are an under the jacket glove not gauntlet over style. Overall, very pleased with the product and would buy again.

These gloves are tight. I've got some aftermarket titanium in both bones of my left forearm and really liked the way the wrist support in the Burton Impact Gloves protected that area. I didn't need to be favoring that arm while concentrating on the mountain and these gloves really did the trick. They were the only gear I bought at full price this year and was glad I did. The only drawback is that they were a little difficult to get on and off - but that just kept me from being the dude who dropped his cellphone off the lift.

these are good gloves - i do bruise the upper part of my wrist when i fall hard because it hits the plastic wrist guard but it's not as bad as a broken wrist - very warm gloves as well

These gloves are awesome and provide great protection for my wrists. They keep my hands warm too on even the coldest of days. Try them and you won't be sorry! Wurd

Really warm, and definitely keep your wrists in check. Be sure you have a coat to go over top of them, if you plan on only wearing a t-shirt they may stand out as a little awkward.
