Hand Wraps HitnMove Hand Wraps Standard

The HIT N MOVE HW1 are boxing hand wraps in a semi-elastic cotton/nylon blend, 180" (457 cm / 4.5 m) long. This length matches the professional format that allows full passes between the fingers, around the metacarpals and the wrist without having to cut short any of these zones. The semi-stretch elasticity adapts to the shape of the hand when the fist closes while maintaining enough compression to stabilise the wrist, without restricting blood flow through tight passes.

The integrated thumb loop anchors the wrap at the start and holds the band in place during application, which simplifies the wrapping process and reduces technique errors. The velcro closure at the end of the wrap locks in securely for the full duration of the session — on the heavy bag, mitts or in sparring. The fabric absorbs perspiration and shields the leather lining of the glove from accumulated moisture. The HW1 are machine washable, making maintenance straightforward after every session.

Developed by HIT N MOVE — the brand founded in Alexandria, Virginia (USA) by Ozhan Akcakaya, specialist in orthopaedics and boxing equipment — the HW1 wraps are built to complement the full HIT N MOVE glove range. At 4.5 m, they cover all hand sizes from small female hands to large male hands. Distributed in Switzerland exclusively by CombatCorner, official distributor of the brand.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why use boxing hand wraps under gloves?

Wraps stabilise the 27 bones of the hand in punching position, maintain wrist alignment and distribute the load across the metacarpals on impact. Without wraps, repeated micro-movements of the knuckles during bag or sparring sessions can cause tendon and ligament injuries over time. Wraps also absorb perspiration and protect the leather lining of the glove.

What is the difference between elastic and non-elastic hand wraps?

Non-elastic pure cotton wraps create more volume around the hand and do not adapt to the shape of the closed fist. A semi-elastic cotton/nylon wrap like the HW1 adjusts when the fist closes and maintains even compression without creating pressure points. It is thinner, which makes fitting gloves over a full wrap easier without forcing.

Is the 180" (4.5 m) length suitable for all hand sizes?

Yes. The 180" format is the professional standard that covers all hand sizes from small (size S) to large (size XL). This length allows three passes between the fingers, two passes around the metacarpals and two passes around the wrist without shortening any of these zones. Very small hands can reduce the number of passes to avoid excess volume inside the glove.

How do you wash the HIT N MOVE HW1 wraps?

The HW1 are machine washable. It is recommended to roll them or place them in a mesh laundry bag before washing to prevent them tangling with other items. Recommended maximum temperature: 30 to 40 °C. Do not tumble dry — air dry flat and unrolled to preserve the fabric elasticity and prevent odour build-up.

Are the HW1 wraps recommended with the Süvari horse hair gloves?

Yes, and they are particularly recommended with the Süvari Horse Hair gloves. Horse hair is a firm material that transmits impact with minimal cushioning — wraps are essential to protect the bones and tendons from repeated vibrations. HIT N MOVE recommends wrapping the hands before every use of the Süvari, whether on the bag or in sparring.
