Blue Ringside APEX Hand Wraps Review

The cases themselves are ok but the color is not like the photo. I expected the main red/blue/yellow; instead I received a pink/aqua/yellow sample but the colors are wrong, they should either have a photo that matches the product or update the description.

This is pink, pale yellow and pale blue instead of the bright red, yellow and blue shown in the picture. The ones I have received have the color going all the way to the beginning of the packaging unlike the ones others have received here. We are arguing whether to send them back or not just because of the color mismatch. If I use them I will update how they behave.

Apparently not very durable. Worn once for training. I washed them in my diaper bag along with other wraps and one of them was unusable. Broke and the logo fell off. upset. I've added a photo of my pannier to show proper washing and care. I was in the process of putting all the wraps on the roll when I discovered the damage.

I used to use Everlast bandages and found that they felt better on my hands. I got the Mexican/American bandages and thought they looked good, they were wider and stiffer than I thought, maybe they will loosen up after a few uses. I really like the velcro on the bandages because they feel strong and durable whereas the seams on the Everlast bandages tear after a while. All in all, these are pretty good packs, but I can foresee the design bleeding after a while, which is normal.

I shop ringside - gloves, bags, bandages, hats, training pads. I have always been satisfied with their products. However, I have to admit that I prefer their more traditional bandages over the APEX bandages. The last few inches of decorative material on APEX sheeting look cool, but will peel off after several cycles of use. I suppose they could be secured with exercise tape but that defeats the purpose of the cool design. In the future I will use traditional Mexican buns.
