For decades, RDX Sports has been establishing itself as an apparel, training and protective gear brand for contact sports. In particular, their hand wraps are a consistent top-seller among professionals and amateurs alike.
The following RDX hand wraps review will examine both the benefits and disadvantages of the products offered to give a thorough overview.
Application
They lack any indication on which side is up, but other than that, there aren't any issues applying these. The thumb loop design helps with position retention. As for the Velcro, it secures well and provides room for adjustment. On the other hand, it's pretty bulky and can get in the way sometimes.
Protection & Security
The wraps measure 4.5m to provide just the right amount of protection. As they're made from woven, thick carbon fiber, this gives wearers an extra bit of support. The Velcro also adds another layer of wrist support. With the thumb loop, it aids in protection while preventing you from shifting
Comfort
Made from a blend that's 30% cotton and 70% polyester, these wraps are comfortable. They have a bit of elasticity that allows them to conform to your hands. These wraps also do a good job at keeping you dry.
Appearance
They're available in the following designs: black, blue, yellow, red, pink, and gray.
Application
These are well-known for being quick and easy to slip on without aid due to their glove-like design. The Velcro is basic and relatively easy to secure.
Protection & Security
The wrist strap measures 75cm but isn't long enough for adequate support. They do make good use of foam and gel padding though, but could do with a bit more knuckle protection. The woven carbon fiber helps as well. All in all, these seem better suited for light use rather than heavy striking.
Comfort
Thanks to an ergonomic thumb-hole and stitched fingers, the gloves can generally fit well if sized correctly. On the downside, the gloves can run small and subsequently can feel too tight around the fingers.
Appearance
They come in blue, red, black with orange trim, black with gold trim, black with green trim, or white with pink trim.
Application
There's nothing to indicate which side goes up with these wraps, and some users have noted needing a bit of help on learning how to put these on. Still, the Velcro seems to attach well.
Protection & Security
As 40in. of the wraps are lined with shock-resistant gel, these wraps strive to protect the wearers as much as possible. Another layer of support is given with the articulated finger loops in addition the Velcro hook and loop closure. The remaining 80in. of the wrap is strong, supportive elastic material.
Comfort
Although some users seemed to have some trouble first applying these, they note that it feels comfortable to wear. They fit snug, yet not tight enough to feel uncomfortable. In fact, they just about conform to the hand so they don't fall off.
Appearance
It seems that this wrap is only available in black which can be a disappointment for those where aesthetics are an important factor.
Conclusion
RDX Sports remains a top contender in the selling of competitive, training, and protection gear. Their hand wraps are well-known for their comfort, security, and general ease of use. The above RDX hand wraps review should answer any questions you may have about their products to help you decide if they're the right brand for you.
