Are the wrist holes tight? I bought a rash guard a while back that strangled my wrists, and hated it.

No they aren't super tight. They are nicely fit to the wrist. They are comfortable. The top fits like a normal long sleeve shirt would. Nothing too tight. Snug but comfortable.

I have to agree with Richard A. and Kathleen C. (see their responses below). I've not used my wrist band because I've been using the chest harness.It's especially good when riding my horse on trails.

actually it is not all about tightness which is, of course, the main reason, however, you need to adjust it 1/3 inch below your wrist joint edge (line) so that when you bend your wrist outward, it wont limit your angle which helps you use more power than you can actually use without wristband.

I'd agree on ordering a size up, if you happen to have wide hips and don't like things too fitted ... but be careful. I found the material doesn't breathe, and if you've got the extra layer of bathing suit underneath it might get really claustrophobic. ... I've been much happier with Coolibar rash guards, which fit my broad back and wide hips, as well as being sun protective and lightweight at the same time, keeping you warm when needed and cool when you're wet and it's hot out there.

The snugging on this is the same as the wrist guard Yes. But it only covers right above the wrist bones.

I also have a 7 1/2 to 8'' wrist and I have 4 holes left to fit and it is just fine and very accurate. It does have a large face on your wrist. Not to be worn with "DRESSY" outfits, just my opinion.

I'm very sensitive to circulation issues, and the Bauefeind Genutrain is fantastic in that regard if you size it per their instructions. I wear it to play pretty competitive table tennis with a lot of pivoting and footwork , and frankly, I forget I have it on. I have worn a number of smaller knee bands that are far more restrictive. I highly recommend the Genutrain if restricted circulation is a concern.

Michael, I'm not a gamer, but I find the wrist braces don't impair the movement of my wrists in any way. Needlework, however, is slower than gaming, so I might be comparing apples and oranges. On the other hand, doing needlework for hours on end with finicky little movements is pretty demanding of the entire wrist musculature and the nerves that pass through the wrist, so perhaps my experience can give you a little guidance. Also, they're worth trying---the price is certainly reasonable enough!

Should be fine, just don't wrap around the wrist with one piece, a few longitudinal before you put a few transverse on

Sorry to hear that. I haven't had that issue with mine. The way I set the chest strap on my GS, is loose enough that you can run 1 but no more than 2 fingers under it, there will be some slack, however, I don't think is that significant; the other 2 abdomen straps w/buckle, loose enough so you can run 1 finger under them. I hope this helps.

It's not as thin as a rash guard but is perfect for me. I don't put my face in the water but do swim back and forth with ease. I think you'll really like it!!!

I don't have wrist problems so I can't say, I can say though that the band did help with the outer bone on my elbow pain, I am having a few problems with it though, one is, if I wear it for any length of time I get a rash from the upper pad & the velcro tends to dig into my arm & actually caused a cut/sore, i tried putting a piece of a cut sock under it to help with both, but that only causes it to not stay in place for more than a couple of hours, with it being winter & extremely cold here in New England I'm wearing lots of long sleeves so it's not easy to get it back to where it should be without just giving up & taking it off for the rest of my work day.

I don't believe these rash guard style shirts are designed to keep you warm like a thick wetsuit would, I bought mine to keep from getting sun burned while snorkeling. They are thin and dry very quickly.

It's fairly small before putting it on but once on the wrist it fits snuggly. I don't have huge wrists but I didn't have any issue with these feeling to tight and I wore the for 36 hours straight before taking them off.

I have an average size wrist and although its kind of bulky it does wrap securely, it stays in place. I primarily got these for just above my knee area so I needed them to have a further reach. Also keep in mind that amazon only sends one of these unless it specifies that the price comes with two. When I ordered the 3 pound ones I didn't notice it and I had to re-order the 2nd one and wait for it to come in the mail. Hope this info has helped.

It fits around mine and my boyfriends. It isn't adjustable so it wont fit tight but with it being stuffed and stiffer it doesn't just want to fall off either. We put it on our wrist a lot while taking pics on moving boats, kayaking and I carry it on my wrist. Hope this helps

Tight enough to keep your wrists from bending. Loose enough to keep your blood circulation from constricting :)
