Specs
Description
The Rival Gel Wraps combine traditional hand wrap application with gel padding for enhanced knuckle protection. Unlike slip-on gel inner gloves, these wrap like traditional 180" wraps but with gel integrated into the fabric. Available in four lengths from 150" to 210" — all in Black. At $19.95, these sit at a reasonable price for gel wraps and offer the advantage of customizable wrap technique with the added cushioning of gel.
Not For
- Fighters who want color variety — Black only
- Those who want slip-on convenience — these still require wrapping
- Competition use
