5 comments about Mexican Style Elastic Handwraps Blue.
- I found a pair of these at a fight in california. They are longer, more stretchy and form fitting than any other wrap. I have used all kinds, these protect and support the best.
- I've tried several brands of hand wraps - Everlast are too short and made from cheap thin fabric that warps easily. Century makes wraps that are okay for the price but too short for most adults. These are by FAR the best - the elastic ones are great, they support really well and do not warp. I am not a serious wall-punching athlete but if you're going to spend any money on wraps, get these, spending any less on another brand would be a waste.
- For boxing, real training or boxing classes in a gym, you will need a good set of handwraps. They keep your fingers aligned, support your wrists, and keep you your skin padded from abrasion. If you wear boxing gloves they are must; punching a heavy bag without handwraps (with or without gloves) for more than about 10-15 minutes will take all of the skin off of your knuckles. Not only is it unpleasant, leaving a stinging, raw feeling on your knuckles for a week or more, you will not be able to box again until your hands heal up.
Almost all of the major "boxing" brands make wraps. I have tried several, and would say that on average most wraps would rate three stars, as they are either short, made of rough material, or don't stretch the appropriate amount. A trainer recommended these.
These wraps:
* are longer than most (a plus)
* have a good balance of material - not to thick / not to gauzy
* stretch the right amount
Two notes: (1) because the price is fairly low, would recommend two pairs so that you can alternate pairs and let one dry out and (2) recommend hand washing in a sink rather than putting in a washing machine, otherwise you will get back a big knotted mess. A garment bag might be an alternative, but have not tried it.
If you need wraps, highly recommend.
Hope this review helps.
- I don't have any experience with other brands to compare with, but when I received these I was a bit disappointed with the stitching at the thumb end. We'll see how it holds up.
- I am no expert. I just use the wraps for hitting a heavy bag at the gym. I am not a boxer, just someone who likes the cardio and therapeutic effect of hitting the bag. The wraps work as advertised. I was tearing my knuckles up, hitting the bag barehanded. My girlfriend bought me some gloves, but those tore my hands up too. The wraps worked the best. The only negative is that I have no idea how to wrap correctly. I know I can google it, but instructions would have been nice. I can't compare this to any other wrap, but a friend of mine tried them and said he liked the slight elasticity (apparently other wraps don't have the same feature). Buy these if you are in the market for wraps...you won't regret. Oh...one last thing...they are pretty long.

- I bought these to replace the well used wraps I had been using. While they were priced competitively to the premium wraps, they are of significantly less quality. The weave is loose and these wraps don't keep their shape beyond a couple of uses. They aren't unusable, so after purchasing more of the same wraps I had been using, I'll keep these as spares. In short, they should be priced about half of what they cost, and the word 'professional' should be removed from the descriptive title.
- They came in no time. It was awesome especially because I had to leave for college about 4 days after I got them so I was very glad for the speedy shipment. Great Wraps as well. Wash regularly or else they will start to stink very badly
- NEVER RECEIVED MY ORDER AND THE COMPANY WAS EXTREMELY RUDE AND USELESS WHEN I WAS LOOKING FOR HELP IN RESOLVING THE ISSUE.
BUYER BEWARE!!!!!!!

- They are O-k. But I've had better. Not to mention they took like 3 weeks to get here. When B4 it only took 4-5 Days........Must have been the store
- I purchased these wraps after using the shorter 100% cotton ones, and have to say that these are so much better! Being a beginner I had to learn how to correctly wrap my hands, but they are 10X more comfortable and it seems like they breathe better than the shorter. Granted, it is a bit more of a hassle to hang them up and store away after a workout, but I believe that is nothing compared to how great they feel! I recommend this product to everyone, but make sure you know how to properly wrap your hands!
- I ordered these wraps about a month ago, but it looks like I had them for about a year or more. The velcro straps from the wraps or the boxing gloves get caught with the material and completely shreds them. I wish the material was a little stronger or thicker. I am not a professional boxer so these will do,just need to be careful with them getting caught in the velcro.
- Got these to keep me from injuring my wrist or hands as I start trying to get back into shape by punching a Wave Master. Never used anything like these before. Found YouTube videos teaching how to use them. Seem to be exactly as advertised. Wrapped correctly they provide a bit of extra support to wrist and hands. Only used them twice because I find that the gloves I bought at the same time seem to do a good job shielding my knuckles and my wrists don't feel stressed. Perhaps as I get in shape and punch harder I will need the wraps. I suspect the Wave Master I'm using is probably easier on the wrists and hands than a heavy hanging bag might be. Not sorry I got them but I don't seem to really need them at this stage in my workout.
- pretty awesome wraps!
pros:
-different colors available..to match gloves or whatever.
-feels good on hands.
-not too long like I read from reviews, its actually just the perfect length.
cons:
- the Velcro part that grabs the Velcro feels like its gonna rip off
but that can be easily fixed with some stitching's.

- After hearing about the quality of Everlast's products declining, I was very careful about buying something from them. But it turned out great after all. I received the package two days after ordering and was not disappointed. The wraps are long enough to fit around my hands and then some. They are very comfortable and can definately absorb a good impact.
- I paid about $7 shipped with other products to get free shipping.
(I wish everyone would make a point to say how much they paid on all their purchases since this makes a world of a difference when reading other user's reviews.)
This is flimsy but you get what you paid for.
I would not recommend.
- I bought these because they are long enough to wrap my hands the way you are supposed too. After some research I found some are not long enough.
Quality is fine, at least the set I got are. I tried using just heavy bag gloves to train with, but I kept cutting my knuckles on my right hand with the fingerless gloves I bought. Grabbed these after reading a bunch, and watching some YouTube videos on proper wrapping.
So far so good, no more cut hands, and all is well. I roll them up backwards so when I'm ready to wrap my hands again I can just roll it around my hand/fingers vs. having it strung out on the floor, and untwisting it as I go. When I get to the end, the Velcro tabs are in the correct position every time so there is no guess work if I'm wrapping my hands with the wrong side up.
- Given that most boxing gloves these days have velcro straps, whose bright idea was it to make the entire length of these handwraps prone to sticking to velcro?
They tie very well and they're rather elastic, but you have to put a lot of yardage over your wrists to keep it tight. I have another pair of Title handwraps that I actually like much better. They don't stick to velcro and it only takes 2 or 3 wraps around the wrist to keep the wrist straight rather than the 10 or so you need with these.
The velcro issue, though, is a huge pain. I wouldn't recommend these.

- seemed a little frayed upon arrival, but the quality the seller ships the item should not reflect upon the item itself. wraps decently and gives proper support when I learned to wrap up right. overall for the price I was happy with them.

- Love them. They are comfy, the size is good for females, and the material is a good quality.
- I use MMA gloves & these wraps really help alleviate the knuckle scrapes & cuts I was getting.
It's alot of wrapping but once you get the hang of it they're great not to mention the touch of feminine color with pink was nice since my gloves are black.
- I already own handwraps in BLUE, Yellow, Red and Black. I just wanted Pink to add to my collection. they work as well as all the other colors. the order was super quick and easy! thank you!
- To whome it may concern,
I never recieved my order that I placed for the everlast hand wraps. I'm not sure what to do about this, or who to complain to. My account was definitely charged, and i have no product to show for it. Please advise.
sincerely,
Caitlin Waltzer

- I use these wraps for boxing, kickboxing, and an 'MMA on the Bags' class. I'm very happy with them. They're nice and thick (I'm not fond of those skinny, flimsy wraps) so I get great coverage and the thickness also gives extra support for my skinny wrists, and allows them to keep their shape. Because of their thickness, I can also use them as a knee or ankle support. I recommend these wraps to any boxer.
- these wraps are great. If you need longer wraps go for the Mexican style wraps. My hands are a bit smaller so it's fine for me. Definitely helps protect my hands when I hit the heavy bag. You definitely need wraps if you're going to do that.
- I bought these hand wraps for my son and he is very happy with them.
- As advertised -- get the length you need, 180" is for adult men (bigger even would be better for very large hands)
- Works fine, Good padding, Good length (Since I have smaller hands), Color is sexy, what else can I say? Its Everlast quality and I'm sure it'll last me quite a while :].

5 comments about Everlast EverGel Hand Wraps.
- Reading the description makes it very clear these are good gloves, however nowhere does it specify they are for a woman. It wasn't until i realized they also sell them in pink that they are girls gloves, and naturally did not fit when they arrived.
- I very seldomly purchase ANYTHING without first looking at reviews, and I do not understand why these got a bad rating. These gloves are a MUST HAVE if your in a rush and dont feel like wrapping your hands or tend to wrap too tight such as myself. I have always wrapped my hands and had my doubts about these gloves. I'm a VERY hard hitter and have busted knuckles even with gloves and hands wrapped. It got to the point where I had to take a hiatus from the heavy bag cause I was causing some pretty bad damage to my hands. When these first came in the mail, I knew for sure I was in for some trouble, they do not look like much, infact they almost look like they would guarantee a broken wrist, but these gloves have SAVED my hands. I would recommend to ANYONE. I spend anywhere from 12-13 hours a week on a bag and have yet to have a SINGLE problem with the gloves. The only thing I would suggest, and this goes with ANYTHING you buy on the internet, is you might want to go to a sports store and try on a pair to find out what size you need.
- I used it TWICE... and mean TWICE!!! And they fell apart. And I'm just a girl punching a bag. Do not buy these never had a pair of gloves fall apart on me that fast.
- I thought I had broken blood vessels in my knuckles from a simple boxing workout, by the way- I wore these under regular boxing gloves!! The dark red marks turned to bruising and lasted a little over a week. Just FYI, I am about 5'7" and 118 lbs., using them for a simple workout - not sparring or anything like that and they still didn't protect my hands. I returned them, hoping to get a refund & I ended up buying Harbinger brand at BIG 5 Sporting Goods store. Harbinger are more expensive (about $44, but I punch as hard as I want now, with full protection)! :) I don't know what anybody would use these for.
- I use these for my kickboxing class, and as an alternative to bare hands for martial arts training. My first pair was destroyed in less than a week. My sister doesn't hit quite as intensely as I do, and after a month, hers are still in great shape - no tears or wear showing at the seams. These are designed for women, but if you don't "hit like a girl", they're not for you.

- These handwraps are very short. 108" is not the ideal length and I was very unhappy to find this out. I would suggest a much longer handwrap. Especially if you're a beginner, like myself, you need much longer handwraps for the support because longer handwraps allow you to have cross-finger support as well as the much needed wrist support. DON'T BUY. GET LONGER HANDWRAPS!!
- These wraps are very durable. The velcro on them started falling off after using them for a while but other than that they feel and look great. I even wore them to school! They were a little short but not that big of a problem if you are just messing around with your friends. Like i said, great product. Thanks for your time.
- Great product. Small enough to fit into mma gloves and less material in your palm than the 180 inch wraps. This is naturally better for grappling. Obviously not meant for heavy bag use unless you also use your mma gloves too.
- This set contains three sets of 108" Everlast Hand Wraps in Red, Black, and White colors. I was concerned about the shorter length of these since I have large to X-large hands and need to have good wrapping to support my wrists. These were just the right the size, covering my wrists and knuckles with several layers. While others have noted that the 180" length wraps provide better protection, I find that is too much material to have under my light gloves for heavy bag work and light contact sparing.
The material is good quality and doesn't tend to bunch up on itself while wrapping. The built in "Thumb Loops" are very handy and does allow these wraps to be put on by yourself, which is a big plus, and the Velcro fastener is fairly long, providing a secure hold throughout a long workout.
Recommended, with the above length caveat.

- I have been boxing for about a year now, tried these wraps and they both tore apart after one sparring. I thought these would last much longer than one day, but after this I am down to two handwraps from the get go. So I am not sure how everybody else is holding up with their own but, all I know is I am staying away.
