Looking for the best wrist/hand protection

SNES350 said:

What is the best cheap (<$40) wrist protection for primarily road
riding, but with some XC? I have a 29" Yuni, so I will have some
speed. I've fallen off and I'd rather save myself with a little
inconvenience than injure my hands.

Unicycle.com's listing of wrist protection is 'here'
(http://tinyurl.com/y9fbby).

I was going to go for the KH Pulse gloves, but some of the other
protection they have looks to reduce damage from falls more, like the
Harbinger products. Which is best for road riding on a 29'er?

Well i use normal biking gloves but they dont add any real protection
to my wrist so if i was u i'd go for the KH pulse gloves but thats
cause when i ride i like to use full figer gloves...but i would have to
say they be the best to use...

I've been using the Harbinger Wrist Wrap 230W
http://www.unicycle.com/shopping/shopexd.asp?id=395 along with Iron
Clad gloves. http://tinyurl.com/y8sjfh The gloves offer general
protection and the wrist wraps protect from hard impacts. What I like
about having separate gloves and wrist protection, is that, if I want
warmer gloves for winter riding, I can swap them out. The other thing
that I like about the separates is that If the gloves get damaged, I
can replace the gloves and not the whole wrist guard.
I can also have a spare set of gloves to change into incase the first
set gets wet or really dirty. When they get dirty, I throw them in the
washer and hang up to dry.

The 1st listed are ment for children.
The "Harbinger 230W WristWrap (R) Wrist Guards" are good (as they lock
your wrist; and you can not break it).
The 661 are described as "flexible", so I doubt those.

Thanks for the input; I'm getting the "Harbinger 230W WristWrap (R)
Wrist Guards", because of the protection and since I don't believe I'll
need gloves for anything but cold weather, when I can use any set I
want.
