the only problem with that is that i live in australia and pretty much every hand wrap that is good cost 20 dollars or more with shipping but i found a site where the wraps are only 13 dollars for 4 if i buy them in bulk with a few friends.

Very Flexible, mould to hand
closest thing to gauze which is what pros use for fights

*Brand new pack.


*Brand new roll


*Le Roys affinity for velcro


*The Damage from a single touch.

With repeated touching, holes form, and they become very "furry".

Note: During private lessons they are amazing. If I can convince my GF to put on my shin-guards they are amazing for sparring. Once I have to use products containing velcro, they become a pain in the ass.

No problem, but I forgot to do a tape test! It is basically like the Velcro, but, not as severe. Lots of professionals use these wraps once and cut them off, because of the tape damage.

I owned a few pairs several years ago, and only used them for sparring sessions. To avoid their "velcro affinity" I always put on my shin guards and headgear before wrapping my hands. I never replaced them because they wore out very quickly and offended my "cheap bastard" sensibilities.

Title Boxing sells a similar product that's somewhat less elastic, a little bit thicker, and a lot more durable: http://store.titleboxing.com/rmh.html. I used those for a while -- maybe a year -- before they wore out.

I prefer either Title or Ringside 180" Mexican wraps. They do the job and last a very long time.

Titles version is of le roy wraps are a joke, they are basically handwraps with no thumb hook and Velcro.


My sparring days go: dynamic warm up, wrap hands, shadow box, thai pads/focus mitts, heavy bag, then sparring.

Do you spar before hitting pads?
