Gel wraps XPRT EZ Padding Grey

The story of XPRT Fight Gear begins in 2005. An enthusiastic martial artist and entrepreneur has been dreaming for years of a shop full of the finest fighting gear, available and accessible to everyone.

Through personal experiences in the form of training camps, seminars, competitions, and research, he gained a clear vision of how to offer martial arts, combat sports, and martial arts equipment to a broader audience in the new millennium.

With extensive experience in Thai boxing, boxing, karate, and especially ITF Taekwon-do, Fight2Win takes its first steps toward a complete product range. Initially, this consisted exclusively of ITF Taekwon-do uniforms and safety equipment under the Taekwon-do.nl brand and website.

Then came the slogan: Fight2WinAnd eventually, with the help of other martial artists and graphic designers, a logo and name emerged for a groundbreaking and affordable martial arts brand: XPRT Fight Gear!

Polycotton is a fabric made from a blend of cotton and polyester fibers. The ratio of fibers can vary, but 80% polyester and 20% cotton are often used for handwraps. For our karate and taekwon-do uniforms, the ratio is usually 65% polyester and 35% cotton.

Polycotton combines the benefits of both materials: the breathability of cotton and the durability and quick-drying properties of polyester.

Why is polycotton used?

• More durable: polyester makes the fabric stronger and more resistant to wear than pure cotton. 
• Wrinkle-resistant: polycotton is much less prone to wrinkling than 100% cotton. This is especially useful for martial arts uniforms, as they require less ironing.
• Quick-drying: polyester fibers dry faster than cotton, which is useful for sportswear and sports equipment. 
• Economical: polycotton is cheaper than 100% cotton. 
• Versatile: polycotton is suitable for various applications, such as clothing and handwraps.
• More elastic: handwraps are more comfortable with a little stretch. 100% cotton has no stretch at all.

What is the background of the XPRT brand?

Yes.

Gel-wraps are a good alternative to traditional handwraps, wraps, or windings. Gelwraps are a type of inner gloves, usually with extra padding over the knuckles.

Yes.

Gel-wraps are best washed in a laundry bag or bra bag at 30°C or lower in the washing machine. Hand washing is actually even better.

It is important to fasten the hook-and-loop closures together before washing to prevent them from catching on other clothes or on each other. After washing, let the gel-wraps air-dry naturally. Do not put them in the dryer, as this may cause them to shrink and crease unnecessarily.

• Partially roll up the gel-wraps and place them in a laundry bag or bra bag. 
• Wash the gel-wraps in the washing machine at a maximum of 30°C or hand wash them.
• Let the gel-wraps air-dry, preferably hung out fully extended.
• Do not put the gel-wraps in the dryer. 

Additional tips:

• Wash the gel-wraps regularly (after every training session) to keep them hygienically clean and fresh.
• You can use a mild detergent if desired, but rinse the gel-wraps thoroughly to prevent soap residue.
• Let the gel-wraps dry completely after washing before using them again.
