How well does this protect against bruising? I now have a more professional job and would like to stop going to work looking like I have been in a fight. A few weeks ago I bruised my wrist ridiculously bad. It is too hot to wear long sleeves but those buises were terrible. I think this is really hurting my confidence because no one likes falling but when you bruise extremely easy it is embarassing to explain later.
I hear ya...I had a pretty bad fall 2 weeks ago. My left leg/ankle is still very swollen and I have to limp when I walk. I also have bruises on both arms from my "tumble" Luckily most people that I work with know that I am an actvie person, although they were talking about banning me from my mtn bike. I hope in another week or so I can get back out on the bike.
