We used another brand because the company we normally buy from in town switched brands. The "other" manufacturer's pair lasted three months as opposed to 2-3 years for our last pair of Guardians! When I had to buy a new pair, I just went online and looked for a company selling the specific brand. I am pleased with the product [...]

Describe Yourself:
Long Term User.
I am a lifetime user of forearm crutches. I used to love Guardians until they replaced the metal cuff tube with plastic. The first pair I got with this quailty downgrade broke within a few months causing me to fall. I missed hitting my head on the fireplace by only a few inches. To use plastic in this stress point is dangerous. I would rather pay a few dollars more and be safe. If you use them be aware of this danger. I wrote the manufacturer about my concern but they never replied.

Pros:
There are none.
Cons:
Uncomfortable.
Best Uses:
Everyday.
Describe Yourself:
User for many years.
Inferior design - cheap imitation of the orginal crutch. Cuff diameter too large, no taper, opening too wide. No bushings under lock nuts. No longer made in the USA - just another questional item made in CHINA. Bigger profit for Sunrise at the user's expense.
