Review on Sanabul Elastic Professional Handwraps Kickboxing by Patrick Bacho

Revainrating 5 out of 5

While cotton bandages offered good support and protection

This is my first time trying elastic bandages. I used to only have cotton bandages that didn't stretch very much, not out of preference but because I got them from the gym. While cotton bandages offer good support and protection, I hate that they go so rancid after just one workout. Since I started exercising 5-6 times a week I decided to try different ones so I could use them for a week instead of washing the same pair every day. I am by no means an athlete or a fighter. I'm just a guy trying to get in shape and lose weight. I do cardio kickboxing 5-6 times a week for about 30 minutes. There are about 3-4 rounds of heavy pocket work that you really need assistance with. The rest of the time it's a different full body workout, but you just put on bandages. The bandages are very soft and feel strong. The stitches don't look like they'll unravel anytime soon, but we'll see in a few months. I understand that I have to put these bandages on a little tighter than cotton bandages. When I first used it, I stretched my right wrist a bit. I won't blame the wrapping just yet because I don't think I wrapped my hands tight enough. I can wrap these bandages more tightly around my arms without worrying about cutting off circulation. One minor thing I personally don't care is that there is a slight color difference between the pairs. Pictured are wipes after 1 wash. It's more noticeable in person, but then again, not such a big deal.
