Great company, the biomex protectors are nice. However the inserts and the literature for biomex are somewhat unclear on the perfect placement. Seems a little odd considering ortho MDs tested and designed it, they are notoriously meticulous about how to do things to their specifications. What is more obvious when wearing the gloves on mountain is that there is only one position where they both fit well and the splint feels correct. They handled impacts like a champ and are far better than the cheap Dakine or Red single/dual splints. Even if the gloves shred or fail in a few seasons you can reuse the biomex splints, so all in all if you need a minimal splint with peer reviewed science backing it up then these are your gloves.

Fell apart after two days on the toe rope. Returned.

These offer the BEST WRIST PROTECTION FOR SNOWBOARDERS! I have researched the field and have found that these gloves contain the most advanced and most actively studied form of wrist protection for snowboarders. Best yet, this wrist protection is built-on so it can't be forgotten. The gloves are still very comfortable and keep hands warm and dry on the mountain. I can't recommend these highly enough for any snowboarder (or their parents...;-)!

I was sure the protection was a joke!
Until I fell that is. I have already broken both my wrists and have been riding with the Flexmeter protection. The Flexmeter is wonderful and gives a very good feeling of protection but it's a pain to put on. That and the gloves I had split open.

These gloves are excellent! Warm and seem very durable. I had a whole season with them and they seem to hold up nicely. The protection does work. I still recommend for absolute beginners to go with the Flexmeters but once you learn to pull your hands in you will not get hurt. I would not ride without protection though and these are an excellent compromise between comfort and protection.

2 Year update.
Even better! These rock! After 2 years of hard use they are barely showing their age. The lining has packed out a bit but they still keep me warm (I run hot anyway so this might not apply to all). Best of all they did not tear and the Velcro is still holding. I had some Hestra gloves that did not stand this long. And the wrist protection? Definitely works. Will buy again (if they actually rip ever)

Great glove, toasty inside yet breathable to the point you don't really sweat on warmer times. The protection seems fine, after a season and tons of wipe outs my wrists are still intact :)

My biggest problem is size that is on the smaller side. Generally large gloves fit my hands very well, but this large is a tighter squeeze. It is also on the expensive side, but it is a quality glove.
