The Nash palm lining is a high-quality synthetic material known for its exceptional abrasion resistance.
The lining protects the palm from friction and heat during intensive use, while retaining its structure and grip even after many hours of training.
+ Wrist wrap with angled hook-and-loop closure

The angled hook-and-loop closure runs diagonally across the wrist, allowing it to fit more closely to the hand’s natural position.
This ensures even pressure distribution around the wrist, more stable support on impact, and greater freedom of movement than a straight closure.
