Wrist Brace/Wrap

Some of you guys know a took a spill earlier this year. I still get a small pinch on the left wrist when bent back a bit.
I was wearing once of those Ace Badage Wrist Wraps which really helps but doesn't work for riding.
The splint that runs under the palm of my hand makes it uncomfortable and hard to shift.. So I'm looking for something that works.

I see EVS & SixSixOne make a few. EVS | Store :: SixSixOne Protection ::
Any one have eperience with their wraps? Neither one is expensive but I want the right one & lookin for feedback. Thanks!

I've used simular ones and like them. The neoprene keeps alot of heat in the area. Just use a little ice at the end of the day. Just not the ice for the Margaritas!

No way man, you kidding me?? Ha haa!
I'm good for the most part till we good dune ride going or catching jumps, even going thru whoops at the drags..
When the wrist bends back I feel a pinch, no swelling or major pain.. But it can be so I'm trying to prevent it!

I'd be affraid to ride to hard with any type of splint that would completely stop movement. It could make bad things happen in a pinch. The SIXSIXONE would limit alot of movement but would allow flex if absolutle needed. Imagine a hard left to avoid someone on a trail. Don't overlook how much your wrist flexes at full lock on the bars. Most of the time you could ride in a cast, but that one time... Just my.02

Been riding 4x's since the incident and it keeps getting better and better. I don't have to ride hard but the Banshee insists!!
But I know the limits on it and when not to push it.. That wrap is definately going to help. Now I have to ride this Saturday so I have find one fast!!
