Handwraps

Post by Batboy2/75 »

I've tried a variety of boxing hand wraps lately, standard cotton weave and the mexican elastic cotton ones.

As far as durability and utility they all do the same fucking job. Why some manufactures sell over priced BS ones is beyond me.

examples of overpriced:

The cleto reyes handwraps are 192" long which is nice if you feel you need the extra protection, but at $19.99 a pop, you better be fighting on PPV.

Essentially you're buying a brand name.

I've been using title or everlast mexican style handwraps and the feel and wear are the same as the above overpriced brands:

http://store.titleboxing.com/hw.html

http://store.titleboxing.com/plathan.html

http://store.titleboxing.com/mhw.html

At $3.99 or $4.99 a pair the Everlast & Title Boxing hand wraps are the best bang for the buck. BTW- Everlast and Title are the same compnay.

All this shit is made in China, but it's nice to see an American Classic like Everlast put out a nice product and at good price. I should note that not all of Everlast stuff is top grade. The shit you find being sold at the sports stores is crap for the idiot consumers that buy tredmills to hang their XXXL clothes on. Although, Everlasts Professional line is top notch stuff.

Arms are the only true badge of liberty. The possession of arms is the distinction of the free man from the slave.

I prefer dangerous freedom over peaceful slavery.
