Abstract
A wrist pad for protecting the wrist of a snowboard rider from adverse rotation and consequent serious injury. The wrist pad comprises an elastic body portion of nominal thickness generally defined by an inner and outer surface which is bounded by a plurality of elongated side edges, said body portion having integral means for lending structural rigidity to the entire pad assembly, said structural rigidity means comprising an elongated semi-rigid support member having a profile approximating the wrist-hand junction of a wearer, and a plurality of opposing flaps and straps having alternate faces of hook and loop material respectively, thereby forming a releasably securable structure around said wearer's wrist.
