Has anyone used the Lonsdale hand wraps from Sports Direct? They're not very good.

    I paid £2 for them, I know, you get what you paid for, right? But I expected them to have some elasticity to them, but they have none at all. They are not bad, they just don't feel like proper hand wraps.

    Where do you lot get your handwraps from? And is 180" the best length? I would like the mexican style ones, but they are hard to find in UK.

    The Lonsdale wraps were very uncomfortable. Got some decent ones for a similar price on Amazon.

    I got the Lonsdale ones from Sports Direct a few years ago. They're ****, but they last, and they're really cheap.

    I use bandage and tape. Old school proper wrapping. I buy the bandage and tape from poundland you get a week's worth for about seven quid, that's six days use. I know it's pricey but it's so protective.

    Good shout.And I got a pair of 5m Fenech ones that have served me quite well.

    Everlast are quite functionally sound in my experience.

    Sports direct also do elastic Lonsdale wraps, much better than the normal Lonsdale ones. Couldn't get used to the gel glove wraps though.
