Level Gloves and Biomex Wrist Guard Information

Level is an innovator in high performance, high quality, and innovative snowboarding gloves.

Snowboarding gloves have seen many significant improvements over the years, including outer layer materials, interior liner materials, new colors, and new features. One of most important advances to come to the snowboard glove market is the integration of high quality wrist protection into the glove design. Level BioMex snowboarding gloves may be the most innovative protective snowboarding gloves on the market.

Because wrist injuries are the most frequent snowboard injury (around 40% of all snowboard injuries are to the wrist), we are particularly keen on Level's protective snowboard gloves with the Biomex wrist protection system.

Level snowboarding gloves feature the Biomex wrist protection system.

Built right into the snowboarding gloves, the Biomex wrist guard was designed by physicians and professional snowboarders for the needs of snowboarders.

Watch this 5 minute video for excellent information on snowboard wrist injuries and Level's Biomex wrist protection system...

The "Swallow Tail" design of the wrist guard (see photo above) provides better comfort and support for your wrist. These wrist guards are the result of an extensive, ongoing collaboration between snowboarders, the medical community, and engineers. A four-year study conducted by the St. Moritz (Switzerland) Orthopaedic Hospital involving more than 40,000 snowboard hours and more than 2,400 participants showed that snowboarders who wear conventional snowboard wrist guards are 4.5 times less likely to suffer wrist injuries over those who don’t wear wrist guards. Field testing by Klinik Gut, Center for Bone and Joint Surgery, showed that the Biomex wrist protection system reduces the risk of snowboarding wrist injuries by 7.5 times.

The Biomex wrist guard is flexible, shock reducing, and ergonomically designed. It is made from high-density rubberized plastic with a split "swallow-tail" wrist support that, upon impact, flexes to disperse the blunt force from a fall. The BioMex wrist guard also has a central pivot system at the base of the palm, so that you can position the two-piece guard in whichever way is most comfortable for you. Level Super Pipe snowboarding gloves and Level Half-Pipe snowboarding gloves also feature dual-density BioMex wrist guards, offering even more wrist support and protection when you fall.

Safer snowboarding comes from wearing proper snowboard protective gear, and riding within your limits.

Level snowboarding gloves can address the protective gear need. You, of course, have to address the "riding within your limits" thing. But armed with Level snowboarding gloves, you can learn and experiment with more confidence. Plus, you'll look good, and your hands and wrists will thank you.

Protect your wrists, upgrade your gear, and ride with confidence - get a pair of Level BioMex snowboarding gloves!
