Why Choose Hand Wraps?
Hand wraps are essential equipment for any combat sport athlete. They provide crucial protection against injuries, stabilize your wrist and hand bones, and enhance striking power. Using hand wraps offers several key benefits:
- Injury Prevention: Hand wraps help absorb shock and impact, reducing the risk of fractures, sprains, and other hand injuries.
- Wrist Support: They provide crucial support to the wrist joint, preventing hyperextension and other wrist-related issues.
- Knuckle Protection: Wraps cushion the knuckles, minimizing the risk of bruising and cuts.
- Enhanced Power: By stabilizing the wrist and hand, wraps allow for more efficient power transfer during punches.
- Hygiene: They absorb sweat, keeping your gloves cleaner and fresher for longer.
Types of Hand Wraps Available
We offer a range of hand wraps to suit your individual needs and preferences:
- Traditional Cloth Wraps: These are the most common type, offering a customizable fit and excellent support. They are typically made from cotton or a cotton blend.
- Mexican Style Wraps: Known for their elasticity, these wraps provide a snug and secure fit, often preferred by experienced fighters.
- Gel or Quick Wraps: These convenient wraps offer a quick and easy alternative to traditional wraps, ideal for those short on time. They are often used in conjunction with traditional wraps for added protection.
Choosing the Right Hand Wraps
Selecting the right hand wraps is crucial for optimal performance and protection. Consider the following factors:
- Material: Cotton wraps are breathable and comfortable, while elastic wraps provide a more snug fit.
