longer handwraps?

ASiAnVaLEtUDo · 08-30-2007, 05:50 AM

anyone know where I could get handwraps that are 200" plus in white color? I saw the grant wraps that are 200" but they are kinda thicker than other wraps

Grants I believe are the longest handwraps there are. You could go to a hospital supply and just get elastic bandages. Just an idea.

As you are aware the standard is 5m. If you want them a little longer you would have to get them specially made

5m is how long? 180" right? i dont like the grant ones as they are kinda thick. do the hospitals give em out for free?

hi man,

got confused with doing the wraps in inches. ive just look at it now 1m is 39.37inches, which means a 5m wrap is 196.85 inches. I am not sure if the hospitals give out crepe bandages for free. I very much doubt it, because nothing in the world is free anymore! However i used to use crepe bandages when i used to fight. Very comfortable. The only thing is that there is no thump loop or velcro closure, so you will have to use fighers tape (masking tape) to secure them. The alternative is an elasticated handwrap, which will have a thumb loop and velcro closure. You can wrap your hands a lot quicker with these. However I guess im still partial to the crepe bandages. Personal preference I guess.

Thanks,

John

they don't give them out for free but a good place to go would be like a walgreens type store. I know that where I live you can purchase them from the hospital itself. It doesn't matter if theres a hook and loop in the bandages itself. Just punch a hole and it will stretch or just start at your palm and work down towards your wrist.

180 inches are about 4.5 meters. So if you want 5 meters handwraps I know that twins makes them and they also come in white. But they are cotton non-elastic so I don't know if that's what you want.

Yeah that's right. Twins are non elasticated. Same as King and Fairtex. Raja and MTG do elasticated wraps.

fairtex do make elasticated wraps that are pretty long too... not sure about white ones though. I have a black set which are my favourite. got 'em free with my fairtex gloves and shorts order. Should be available from their website I would imagine.
