Handwraps Rival Mexican Stretch

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, in which equipment is designed for maximum support, protection, and feel. From glove construction to the way handwraps are applied, 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
