Nope, the wrists are fine. But I stopped bicycling for about a year
which is insane because up to that point I was a hardcore every-day cyclist. Long story. But anyway, I started back into cycling again recently and now my hands hurt badly from even modest length rides. The long-term solution is just to build those muscles back up by continuing to bike regularly. In the short term, I wanted some extra padding, and the
other product that company makes is a big neoprene palm pad that attaches to the wrist straps, and it looked like it was worth trying, because regular bike gloves have lame inadequate padding.
I posted the wrist strap link/question here just because of their page all about musicians using the wrist straps.
Anyway I got a pair of the pad/strap "gloves", and they're pretty good. Anyone with a heavy-duty sewing machine could DIY them quite easily, but I don't have a heavy-duty sewing machine. The padding is not like "heavenly" or "cushy", but it
is better than typical bike gloves. The straps are secure yet not uncomfortable. The open top/backs are nice in this hot weather.
The straps are just stiff/heavy cotton (not stretchy hardly at all) with velcro closure. I imagine they would actually be a lot more supportive than an ordinary flexy sweatband, for anyone who needs that kind of support.
All in all I pretty much got my money's worth, but I'm not raving like they're the best thing ever.
