Very surprised at how much better this works when compared to an elastic wrist band. I work in a hospital and part of the job includes moving patients in and out of bed to CT scanners etc. Like the rest of America our patients are getting larger and I sometimes would get pain in my right wrist from pulling them sideways. An elastic band helped but most of them need replacement after several weeks. A leather band seems to work much better, gives better support and is easier to clean, just wipe down with alcohol. I also like it on long motorcycle rides, much more comfortable and seems to fight the fatigue soreness in my wrist much better. I recommend this type of band for anyone experience sore or stiff wrist from repetitive use. I did add a Velcro strap to hold the loose ends of the straps, which tended to rise up.
