Step into the boxing ring, a world where every punch counts and the right gear can make all the difference. Here, your hands are your lifeline, your tools of the trade, and they deserve top-tier protection.
That’s why you need to wear hand wraps or quick wraps inside your boxing gloves.
Hand wraps are non-negotiable in boxing because they:
- Protect your knuckles, wrists, fingers, and bones from fractures, sprains, cuts, and bruises
- Stabilize your joints and ligaments and prevent them from twisting or bending
- Absorb the impact and shock of your punches and reduce the risk of inflammation and swelling
- Enhance your grip and control of your gloves and improve your punching power and technique
- Give you a sense of security and comfort and help you focus on your training
But how do you choose between hand wraps and quick wraps? You don't have to choose either.
Let’s take you through hand and quick wraps, their differences, uses, and pros and cons to help you make the right decision.
Hand Wraps
Hand wraps are long strips of cloth that are wrapped around the hands and wrists in a specific way to provide support and protection.
They are usually made of cotton or a blend of cotton and synthetic materials. They are available in different lengths and thicknesses.
Advantages of Hand Wraps
- Better wrist support: Provide better wrist support than quick wraps. They are wrapped tightly around the wrist to prevent it from bending or twisting during a punch.
- Padding: Provide extra padding to the knuckles and the back of the hand. This helps to absorb the impact of a punch and prevent injuries.
- Customizable: They can be customized to fit your hand and wrist perfectly. You can adjust the tightness, thickness, and coverage according to your hand size, shape, and wrapping style.
Disadvantages of Hand Wraps
- Time-consuming: Take longer to put on and take off than quick wraps. This can be a disadvantage if you are short on time.
- Difficult to use: Can be difficult to use if you are not familiar with the wrapping technique.
- Uncomfortable: Can be uncomfortable if they are not wrapped properly. They can also be too tight or too loose, which can affect your boxing performance.
If you are looking for a high-quality and reliable pair of hand wraps, B&B Method has the right hand wraps for you.
Our hand wraps are designed to give you the best protection, comfort, and style as you box or train. They:
- Are made of stretchy cotton that is more elastic and flexible than regular cotton. So they retain their shape and tightness better and provide a more comfortable fit for your hands.
- Have a velcro closure that ensures a secure and adjustable fit. You can easily fasten and unfasten your wraps without any hassle.

Quick Wraps
Quick wraps are a newer type of hand wrap that is designed to be more convenient and easier to use. They are made of a stretchy material that conforms to the shape of the hand and wrist.
Quick wraps are meant to be worn like gloves and have a Velcro strap that secures them in place.
Advantages of Quick Wraps
- Convenience: Are more convenient to use than hand wraps. They can be put on and taken off quickly and easily.
- Time-saving: You don’t need to learn how to wrap your hands or set aside time before each training session to do so. You just slip on the quick wraps like gloves and you are ready to go.
- Breathable: Have ventilation holes that allow air circulation and sweat evaporation thus preventing odors.
Disadvantages of Quick Wraps
- Lack of customization: Although they are designed in different sizes to fit most hand sizes, they are not as customizable as hand wraps.
- Less stability and support: May not provide enough support for your wrists, knuckles, fingers, palms, and forearms. They may also not provide enough cushioning and shock absorption for your punches.
- Durability: Quick wraps may not be as durable as hand wraps. They can wear out quickly if they are used frequently.
- Fit under gloves: Quick wraps may be too bulky to fit under properly fitted boxing gloves and will feel uncomfortable.
B&B Method hasn’t just redefined traditional hand wraps, we have also addressed the shortcomings of quick wraps.
Our quick wraps are made of stretchy material allowing for a personalized fit and conforming to the unique shape of each boxer’s hand.
The elasticity of the material also provides a snug fit without being overly tight or restrictive while still offering the necessary support and protection.
They have a thin knuckle padding so that they can fit underneath your boxing gloves. They also have a Velcro closure and are easy to wear.

Choosing the Right Wrap for You
Both hand wraps and quick wraps offer the same benefits. To decide on either depends on your personal preferences and needs. Here are some tips to help you decide:
- Consider your level of experience: For a beginner, hand wraps may be a better choice because they provide more support and protection. For experienced boxers, either will be perfect.
Another experience aspect is the wrapping experience; quick wraps don’t need any wrapping as they are worn directly.
- Consider your training routine: If you train frequently, hand wraps are a better choice because they are more durable. If you only train occasionally, quick wraps may be more cost-effective.
- Consider the type of boxing: For instance, if you’re into heavy bag training, you might need more padding provided by hand wraps.
- Consider your hand size: If you have large or small hands, hand wraps may be a better choice because they can be customized to fit your hand and wrist perfectly. If you have average-sized hands you can choose either of them.

Quick Note: We recommend going a size up on your B&B gloves if you are wearing quick wraps instead of hand wraps. |
