Venum"Kontact" Gel Glove Wraps, Black

I started taking a HIIT (high intensity interval training) boxing class twice a week. This involves bag work but no sparring. I was using the provided gloves and wraps but decided it was more hygienic to get my own so I was looking for inexpensive but quality gloves and warps. Several boxing blogs recommended Venum. I've now been using these wraps for two weeks in conjunction with the Venum Challenger 2.0 Gloves Venum Challenger 2.0 Boxing Glove 14 oz, black/black, and they're great.I was a little nervous when I first tried them on and before my first class with them. they seemed very tight and my hands are what I would consider medium. Turns out this was just new product stiffness and they totally softened up during that first class. Subsequent classes have proven they are quite comfortable.The gel protection on the knuckles is great and there is plenty of wrap to wrap your wrists up nice and snug. They are easy to put on.As for care, I wipe off the neoprene glove part with anti-bacterial wipes after every class then lay them out in the sun with the wraps completely unfurled until they dry. I do the same with the boxing gloves I wear. It says they are machine washable in cold water but do not put them in a dryer. I haven't washed them yet but probably will in another couple of weeks.

It’s a quick and easy way to wrap your hands so it’s perfect for beginners boxing or MMA

I dig these hand wraps because you still get "some what" of a hand wrap feel without the hassle of traditional wraps. Don't get me wrong I love traditional wraps but sometimes you just need to get in and go. I use these for speed bag work and throw them in my bag when I'm done. I have just enough protection for what I need. If you're in the gym a lot and doing heavy bag work you may want to invest in something a bit more protective because the foam isn't heavy duty and you could possibly injure yourself.There was no size selection although the L fit me okay but I'm sure with more use they will be broken in just fine. I'm glad I made the investment and I'm actually thinking about purchasing another pair for my instructors bag just to have a pair on hand.

I actually like these a lot. I'm a muay thai beginner and wanted something that I could wear easily under my gloves. I know that eventually I'll learn the wraps, but for now these are great. They're so damn easy to put on. The wrap part is really long like others have said, so it basically looks like normal wraps - it just doesn't wrap betweens your knuckles or over your palm - but you get plenty of wrist protection. I just washed mine for the first time with cold water and light detergent. The gel isn't too thick, so it works nice under my 16 oz muay thai gloves. It's basically exactly what I was looking for. I'm new to martial arts, but I like Venum gear... I have their stand up shin pads too, and they work well.

I have been training MMA/Kickboxing since 2008. Sometimes I just get tired of spending time wrapping my hands before training. So I picked these up. The Gel pad is perfect, sometimes I don't wrap perfectly and it shows, you get consistency with this product. Plus there's plenty of wrap to secure your wrist. One minor downside is that when I am training and have to hold pads for my partner, it's harder to squeeze into Thai pads since the gel pad is kinda static.

Excellent hand wraps. Despite what others have said you can certainly use these on a heavy bag and you will be fine. It all depends on how much protection you want. Of course you can hurt your fingers and thumbs more with these types of wraps then if you're wearing boxing gloves but that's obvious and to be expected. I think the great wraps.The first set I received were all torn apart with the stitching but I returned them and they were immediately replaced with perfectly good ones and I even bought a second pair which were perfectly stitched. I don't understand why people give low ratings for products that are defective when the manufacture is happy to take them back and replace them with good ones. Mistakes happen that is to be understood. So long as the manufacture backs up their products and takes care of the customer, I am happy. These are excellent hand wraps. Feel comfortable in buying them

Not the most durable hand wraps. Velcro separated from hand wrap which caused problems.

I was contemplating for a long time whether I should use normal hand wrap or a glove wrap! Any how, this is a great product. It fits well, and with additional wrap that comes with it, you can wrap around your knuckles, providing additional protection to the gel in the Glove. It does not slip under the gloves that alot of people told me would happen with Glove Wrap. I use it twice a week on bags and pads.
