hand wraps

Knuckle protection strips

Hand wraps are long strips of cloth wound around the hands and wrists before putting on boxing gloves.

They protect the small bones and tendons during impact, provide wrist support, and keep the glove's interior dry.

Fighters in boxing, Muay Thai, and mixed martial arts consider them essential: Make sure your hand wraps are tight before sparring.
