anyone else like trying new handwraps?

I figure its one of those things that are cheap enough to try a bunch of different ones...

plus I wash everything right after classes, and its annoying to have to wash the handwraps right away so theyre dry by the time you go back the next day.. its just annoying in general how they all get tangled etc

I dont have hte money to be trying a bunch of gloves or anything, so handwraps it is...

what are your favourite ones? Ive tried a couple and think Boes handwraps feel pretty good, but I got ringside handwraps and they feel very strong... how are the fairtex ones? surprised how expensive they are

I got CSI handwraps on the way, excited to try them. But more excited about that will be arriving in a week or so...

I'm not a big fan of 100% cotton wraps, even though I used Title wraps for the longest time. Then I moved on to some pink everlast mexican wraps - loved those, but the velco eventually wore off...

So now I alternate a pair of Ambers and a pair of Cagesides. The Ambers are awesome wraps, I highly recommend them. Cageside seem a little weaker, but they were incredibly cheap so I don't mind.

I want to get a pair of Grants, they're 200". Next on my list!

Everlast mexican handwraps are probably the only thing I like from everlast. I also have the fairtex handwraps, which are also pretty good.

Am I the only one who hates elastic wraps? I don't think I'll ever stop using cotton unless I have a guy to wrap my hands with gauze.

Hey!!

I actually (surprise, surprise) love the Cagesides - they are extra long and allow me to go through each finger 2x plus they are not too thick and bulky. Just personal preference.

Cotton handwraps get tangled easily because they're not wrinkle resistant. Get Mexican style 180".

Century 180" wraps will probably give you the most protection.
