    Mobius x8 is the best... not sure why it's not in this comparison

      You are correct, it's a great brace! I reference it along with the Leatt brace and it's linked in the description. Just didn't have one to show when I recorded this video.

    I’m having sharp pain from my thumb to the center of my wrist( from a big slopestyle crash) wondering if u had any ideas on how to get back riding faster ❤, 🙏

      Sorry to hear about your crash. First make sure you see a medical professional to investigate any potential fractures or ligament injuries. Once you're sure rehab exercises to gain range of motion and strength won't make it worse gradually build up over a few weeks. Once your wrist is strong enough these braces can help get you back on the bike sooner and start progressing to more. I can;t stress enough to have a proper diagnosis so you can have an estimate of what recovery should look like.

    I had a very bad open fracture of the radius june 2023 after the surgery I was supposed to be two months in a plaster cast after that I was to wear a wrist brace for a couple if months anyway I got the cast off after 3 weeks which is already too much since it took way too long before volar plate surgery, just getting back full mobility, anyway I didn't wear the wrist brace and I wonder what it was supposed to do? I felt like it would prevent me to regain mobility and strength, and if I listen to my physio and orthopedic surgeon I made a "miracle recovery" very fast.
    So, was I right?! Surgeons still made condescending comments and said this wasn't okay 😂

      wrist braces are usually worn to protect the wrist as it gains mobility and strength so it doesn't become painful or suffer another injury if something happens it is not ready for. I always advise to gradually wean off a brace as your body allows. First daily activities, then activities which place more stress on the wrist. The braces i suggest in the video are designed to be worn during activities like mountain biking which forces through the wrists and hands are very high. I wouldn't wear any of them around all day.
