Boxing wraps for extra reinforcement of fist and knuckles

Handwraps are used in boxing and kickboxing under the boxing gloves. A handwrap ensures you make a compact fist and provides extra protection for your knuckles and fingers. It also absorbs the sweat from your hands. This keeps your boxing gloves in good condition and smelling fresh.

The standard handwraps are wrapped around the hand, and then the boxing gloves are put on over them. We usually sell them in 250 cm (100 inch) and long versions of 450 cm (180 inch).

For women and girls, we have special fun colors like purple and pink. Alternatives are inner gloves or Gel-wraps. These have a gel padding on top so the knuckles get extra protection.

Nowadays, there are also various brands and models of knuckle-guards on the market. For people who experience knuckle pain or punch very hard, these knuckle protectors are a great invention. They are almost always used in combination with a regular handwrap. Check them out in the knuckle-guards collection in our webshop.

Benefits of using handwraps in boxing and kickboxing

We always recommend people use handwraps. The main advantage is that your fist becomes compact. This allows you to punch harder and reduces the chance of annoying injuries. Another big advantage is that the handwraps absorb sweat. This prevents sweat from getting into your boxing gloves, so they also smell less quickly! And that is very pleasant.

Some advantages of boxing wraps:

Reinforces your wrists. This reduces the chance of injuries and wounds.
Protects your knuckles. Prevents bruises and damage.
Reinforcement of your metacarpal bones. These are the vulnerable small bones in your hands.
Stabilization of your thumb. Prevents bruises and injuries.
Absorbs most of your sweat and thus extends the lifespan of your boxing gloves.

Alternatives to handwraps:

Gel-wraps and gel gloves
Inner gloves
Tapings (professionals and competitive fighters)

Should I choose 250 cm or 450 cm?

The size 250 cm is ideal for children and adult women with narrow hands. That length is really enough for them.

Adult men should definitely use the 450 cm. Only then can you optimally protect your hands. And if you quickly get wrist pain, you should also use 450 cm. Some people even train with a double handwrap.

What is the correct way to put on handwraps?

There are many ways to put on a handwrap. Everyone has their own method. We have posted an interesting blog post on our website about the use and benefits of handwraps: "How to put on handwraps".

The most important thing is to wrap the striking surface extra well. You also need to stabilize the wrist. Additionally, you can choose to include your thumb. This video shows how to put on 250 cm. And in this video, a super easy way to put on 450 cm is demonstrated.

Washing boxing wraps?

Handwraps you use should be washed after every training to keep them hygienically clean and soft. Hand washing is best, but you can also wash them in the washing machine at a low temperature and low spin cycle.

They should not be put in the dryer. Before washing, it’s best to fasten the Velcro closures to prevent them from sticking to other materials.

How to maintain your handwraps?

Wash them before first use
Wash them after every training, or at least regularly
Wash in the washing machine at 30°C and low spin speed
Fasten the Velcro during washing
Do not put in the dryer!
After washing, roll them up and store them to prevent wrinkles and tangling
Use a laundry bag to prevent the handwraps from tangling during washing

How can I best wash boxing handwraps?

The best way to wash handwraps is by placing them in a laundry bag or bra net and washing them in the washing machine at 30°C or lower. Hand washing is actually even better.

It is important to fasten the Velcro before washing to prevent it from sticking to other clothes or itself. After washing, let the handwraps air dry naturally. Put them not in the dryer, as they can shrink and wrinkle unnecessarily.

Partially roll up the handwraps and place them in a laundry bag or bra net.
Wash the handwraps in the washing machine at a maximum of 30°C or hand wash them.
Let the handwraps air dry, preferably hung out for a long time.
Do not put the handwraps in the dryer.

Extra tips:

Wash the handwraps regularly (after every training) to keep them hygienically clean and fresh.
You can optionally use a mild detergent, but rinse the handwraps well to avoid soap residue.
Let the handwraps dry completely after washing before using them again.

What material are Winning handwraps made of?

There are three types of Winning handwraps: VL-B Extension, VL-C Non-Extension, and VL-H Amateur Fight.

VL-B Extension:

100% rayon: this is an artificially made fiber based on the cell walls of plants (cellulose). These are the fibers from the eucalyptus tree, bamboo, and wood that make the fine threads of the yarn. The yarn resembles cotton but is stronger, more flexible, and softer. As a result, the fabric feels almost like silk.

VL-C Non-Extension:

100% cotton: for a sturdy, thick handwrap without stretch: this is mainly for advanced boxers, competitive fighters, and kickboxers

VL-H Amateur Fight:

100% elastic cotton: these handwraps are made of natural cotton but with a very strong stretch.
