Need some wraps and gloves just for working out on Heavy and speed bag

Any Suggestions?

UFC glove might be way too small, but maybe not quite a full boxing glove is what is needed..

Are there REALLY easy wraps that almost go on like gloves with maybe a few tightening points, or is it just worth it to wrap your hands?

This is seriously just to work out on a heavy bag, and MAYBE take a kickboxing class without contact with people's faces

Thanks for any input...

I use gel wraps and Fairtex bag gloves. Not had a problem so far. Because of the gel padding on the knuckles you don't need to wrap them as much and can focus on using the wrap for added wrist support/alignment. Wraps are not just to protect your hands, but to provide structural support to the rest of your hand and wrists which also absorb the impact of a strong blow.

Right, obviously my wrist is where I'd like the most support.. I'm not worried about breaking a knuckle or anything on the bag.. just don't want to sprain a wrist from a wrong-angled blow.

I have 2 pairs of Combat Sports International gel wrap gloves.
They have 108 inches of wrist wrap attached to them and they are great.
I found them for about 1/3 of the price of my MMA gloves and they are great for working the focus mitts or the bags.
They do provide really good wrist support depending on how you wrap them.
I hope that this helps.

Ordered gel wraps. Never tried them before. Looking forward to giving them a go and comparing to traditional wraps.

One piece of advice I will give is to be careful when taking them off so the foam finger loops don't turn inside out or it can pull the stitching. it's a small thing but it'll save the wear and tear on them.
