Handwraps

A handwrap is not an accessory. It is the foundation of every boxing or kickboxing training session—the first layer of protection that makes the difference between a hand that lasts for years and one that develops problems after three months.

Without proper handwraps, you risk injuries to your wrists, knuckles, and metacarpals. These are precisely the structures that absorb the impact of every punch. A handwrap counteracts this by keeping your fist compact, stabilizing your wrist, and distributing the force evenly.

At Fight2Win, you’ll find more than 100 different handwraps from the best brands in the world. From affordable polycotton wraps for the beginner boxer to handmade Japanese rayon handwraps for the serious competitive athlete.

Every brand, every size, every material—available directly from stock at our warehouse in the Netherlands.

Fight2Win carries handwraps from all major brands in boxing and kickboxing—each with its own character, materials, and target audience.

XPRT Easy Stretch is the ideal entry-level handwrap. Made of polycotton, slightly elastic, available in dozens of colors and two sizes. Reliable, washable, and competitively priced.

Rival Mexican Stretch and Guerrero are the best-selling wraps in our range. Thinner than conventional handwraps, yet offering maximum protection for the knuckles and wrists. The Mexican Stretch comes in more colors and sizes; the Guerrero is thicker and offers extra comfort and tension.

Hayabusa Perfect Stretch combines nylon and cotton for a premium fit. Available in 460 cm and several versions, including the Mayweather and Marvel editions.

Twins Special offers authentic Thai cotton handwraps (with a polyester blend for stretch) in 450 cm—soft, elastic, and available in a wide range of colors.

Winning is at the top of the range. Handmade in Japan from rayon and cotton, it is the choice of professional boxers worldwide. Three models: VL-B (rayon, stretch), VL-C (cotton, non-stretch), and VL-H (competition).

The length of your handwrap determines how much protection you can build up. More length means more layers around your knuckles, metacarpals, wrist, and thumb—and therefore more stability and protection with every punch.

250 cm is the right choice for children and women with smaller hands. Enough for a basic wrap, while remaining compact inside the glove.

300 cm is a short intermediate length, available with the Rival Mexican Stretch. Suitable for anyone who wants to wrap a little more than with 250 cm but prefers a compact wrap.

380 cm is the next step for adults who want to wrap less or prefer a more compact fit inside the glove. Also available with the Rival Mexican Stretch.

450 cm is the standard size for adult men and women. Enough length for a full wrap around the knuckles, metacarpals, wrist, and thumb. By far the most popular size in our range.

530 cm is the longest option, available exclusively with the Rival Mexican Stretch. The choice for boxers who want extra wrist support or wrap a double layer around the knuckles.

When in doubt, always choose the longer size. You can always wrap a handwrap that is slightly too long an extra time. A handwrap that is too short does not provide sufficient protection.

The material of a handwrap determines its stretch, comfort, and durability. The choice depends on your preference for how it feels around the hand, the sport you practice, and the level at which you train.

Polycotton (polyester-cotton blend) is the most common material. Slightly stretchy, washable, and available in most colors and sizes. This is the material used for XPRT Easy Stretch, Super Pro Combat, and King Pro Boxing Fifty Stretch—reliable for everyday use.

Nylon-cotton offers slightly more elasticity and a tighter feel around the wrist. Used in Rival Mexican Stretch and Hayabusa Perfect Stretch. Thinner than polycotton, but offering at least as much protection.

Polyviscose-nylon is the material used for the Rival Guerrero—a hybrid between the Mexican Stretch and a traditional cotton handwrap. Thicker, with superior tension and extra comfort during longer training sessions.

100% cotton is the traditional choice. Less stretch, but maximum control over the wrapping. Used in the XPRT Non-stretch and the Winning VL-C Non Extension Type. The choice of boxers who want to determine precisely how tight each layer is.

Rayon is the premium material from Winning Japan. Exceptionally soft, strong, and durable—resistant to intensive use and repeated washing without any loss of quality.

Handwraps are suitable for all martial arts where gloves are worn. The sport partly determines which length and material are the best fit.

For boxing handwraps are essential basic equipment. They protect the knuckles and stabilize the wrist for every jab, hook, and uppercut. Competitive boxers use 450 cm or longer for maximum support.

For cardio boxing the strain is lower than in competitive boxing, but the basic principles still apply. A 450 cm poly-cotton Easy Stretch is the most popular choice here—affordable, washable, and available in dozens of colors.

For kickboxing and thai boxing the same principles as in boxing apply, with extra attention to wrist support during clinch work and blocking kicks. A nylon-cotton handwrap such as the Rival Mexican Stretch or Hayabusa Perfect Stretch performs excellently here.

For MMA thinner handwraps are used because of the more compact MMA gloves. The Rival Mexican Stretch in 380 cm or 450 cm is a popular choice thanks to its slim profile and maximum protection.

Beginners are best off starting with a 450 cm poly-cotton Easy Stretch. Advanced boxers choose Rival or Hayabusa. Competition athletes and professionals choose Winning—the handwrap used in the corners of world champions.

Handwraps absorb sweat, skin cells, and bacteria during every training session. Regular washing is essential—not only for hygiene, but also to extend the lifespan of your boxing gloves A clean handwrap keeps your gloves fresh and prevents them from developing an odor.

Wash your handwraps after every training session, or at least regularly. Use a mesh laundry bag to prevent the wraps from tangling with each other or wrapping around other clothes during washing.

Set the washing machine to 30°C and a low spin speed. Fasten the hook-and-loop closure before washing—this prevents it from catching on and damaging other materials.

Never tumble dry. Hang handwraps up to dry at room temperature. Heat damages their elasticity and material, causing them to wear out faster over time.

After drying, rolling them up and storing them prevents creases and tangled wraps. Wash them briefly before first use as well—this makes the material softer and more comfortable from the very first training session.
