A wrist guard to protect against injury to a person's hand or wrist when engaging in active sports. The guard comprises a body having a palm portion which carries a palm splint, a wrist portion having a cuff edge which fits about the user's wrist, and a flap portion which carries an elongated strap. The body carries a back splint secured to its backside as well as a thumbhole which fits about the user's thumb. Fasteners are provided for releasably fastening both the flap portion and the strap in a closed position about the user's wrist. The outer edge of the flap portion is configured so that when in a closed position it is substantially out of restraining relationship with the little finger side of the user's hand to enable the hand to laterally flex.
