I think the Tuff-n- Lite Hockey skate socks and wrists guards are a great product. As an emergency physcian who has also been involved in hockey all my life as a player and coach, I have seen and treated a number of serious lacerations over the years, some from hockey skates. The lower leg and forearm/wrist area have a number of important structures including tendons and blood vessels. Tendon lacerations are devastating injuries. The patient requires surgery, casting for a number of weeks followed by long periods of rehabilitation. Some patients never return to full function despite the best treatment. For the small price of the Tuff-n- Lite Hockey skate socks and wrist guards, hockey players can protect their wrists and lower legs from serious lacerations, including tendon lacerations. I fully endorse the Tuff-n-Lite Hockey skate socks and wrists guards.
