Rival Boxing Gear Mexican Stretch Handwraps

The Rival Mexican Stretch Handwraps are the foundation of any serious boxing training. Before you put on your gloves, handwraps protect your knuckles, metacarpals, and wrists—the most vulnerable parts of the hand during intense training. The Rival Mexican Stretch does this better than most handwraps on the market.

Mexican-style stretch—the perfect amount of elasticity

The Mexican-style handwrap stands out from a regular cotton handwrap thanks to its slight elasticity. The Rival Mexican Stretch is made from a luxurious blend of cotton and nylon that provides exactly the right amount of stretch—enough to wrap the hand comfortably, but not so much that support is lost. The result is a handwrap that conforms to the hand and moves with you during every movement.

Thinner than conventional handwraps—more room in your gloves

Rival handwraps are deliberately thinner than conventional handwraps. This offers a practical advantage: they take up less space inside your boxing gloves, allowing the glove to retain an optimal fit. Despite their thin construction, they provide the full knuckle and wrist protection you need during intense training.

Essential support for your wrists, hands, and knuckles

Handwraps provide a layer of essential support that holds the small bones and joints of the hand together with every punch. The Rival Mexican Stretch is soft and elastic, providing maximum support and a secure fit around the wrist—comfortable enough for long training sessions, yet firm enough for the hardest combinations on the punching bag or pads.

Available in 380, 450, and 530 cm—for every hand size

The Rival Mexican Stretch is available in three lengths: 380 cm, 450 cm, and 530 cm. The right length depends on your hand size and the level of support you prefer. Smaller hands can use 380 cm, while larger hands or boxers who want additional wrist support should choose 450 or 530 cm. Sold in pairs and available in various colors.

Specific features

+ 50% nylon, 50% cotton

The combination of 50% nylon and 50% cotton offers the best of both materials: the strength and resilience of nylon combined with the breathable comfort of cotton. This makes the material suitable for intensive use where both durability and wearing comfort are important.
+ Durable hook-and-loop closure

A durable hook-and-loop fastening ensures quick and reliable fastening that maintains its grip even after intensive use.
The fastening is easy to adjust for an optimal fit and stays firmly in place during the toughest training sessions and competitions.
+ Mexican style

Mexican style refers to the traditional Mexican approach to boxing, where equipment is designed for maximum support, protection, and feel. From the construction of gloves to the way handwraps are wrapped, Mexican style represents a timeless technique trusted by boxers worldwide.
+ Thinner with more protection

The Mexican handwraps are Rival thinner than traditional handwraps, but thanks to their specific weave construction and material composition, they provide more protection.
The compact construction ensures a better fit inside the glove, while maintaining optimal wrist and knuckle support.
+ Washable

This product is washable and therefore easy to clean after use. Boxing gear absorbs sweat and can quickly start to smell— a washable product keeps your equipment fresh and hygienic without having to replace it.
Always check the care instructions on the label before washing the product. Also see our care advice section on this page for the best tips to keep your gear in top condition for as long as possible.
+ Thumb loop

The thumb loop ensures correct and consistent wrapping during every training session. By securing the handwrap over the thumb with the loop, the wrap stays firmly in place and prevents shifting during boxing.
This provides a stable foundation for optimal wrist and knuckle protection.

Rival - Designed in Canada

In 2003, Russ Anber Rival Boxing Gear founded it—not as a businessman, but as someone who had spent decades in the gym and knew exactly what was lacking in the equipment available. He began innovating, patenting, and building, permanently changing the boxing world with patented designs in gloves, punching mitts, and handwraps.

“My gift was the ability to coach, break things down, analyze and make people understand how things work.” — Russ Anber
