Flexmeter. From the early years to Demon.
A French design, distinctive splint colours and a long relationship with Play Trend. Our photographs and memories trace Flexmeter from its early years to Demon.
Our first years with Flexmeter
Our work with Flexmeter began in 2003, through contacts with Skimeter in France and, later, Docmeter. Our German website already named Play Trend as a distributor at the time. The old pages and catalogues record the beginning of a relationship that has continued through successive product generations.
Those early years brought conversations with the people behind Flexmeter and feedback from customers. We stayed in touch as the products and their presentation changed. Our Flexmeter history follows those connections from the French beginnings to our work with Demon today.
A wider world of protective equipment
Wrist guards were only part of the earlier range. Integrated gloves, the palm piece known as PalmPro on this English website, Helmeter helmets, Spinemeter back protectors and impact shorts all appear in the archive.
The photographs also record the changing colours: blue and red splints, followed by silver and light grey. Their shapes, ribbed sections and markings help distinguish the older versions. In our photo archive, these details sit alongside the articulated Spinemeter back panels and the former helmet collection. Each image belongs to the product generation it shows.
The story continues with Demon
The Flexmeter wrist-guard concept passed from Docmeter to Demon. Our connection with the product continued. The two models in our current range are Flexmeter Single-Sided and Flexmeter Double-Sided With D3O.
Demon products now fill many of the roles once covered by our earlier protective-equipment range. The original photographs remain part of that history. Our current Demon Flexmeter wrist guards have their own model numbers, size variants and product information.
