Hand wrap size guide
This guide helps you find the right length for your hand wraps – depending on hand size, age and training intensity. Hand wraps stabilise the wrist, knuckles and metacarpals and are an essential part of your equipment.
| Wrap length | Suitable for | Recommendation |
|---|---|---|
| 2.0 m | Children | Basic protection, easy to apply |
| 2.5 m | Teens / very small hands | More wraps around the wrist and knuckles possible |
| 3.5 m | Teens & adults (beginners) | Good all-round length for technique training |
| 4.0 m | Regular training | Solid support for wrist and knuckles |
| 4.5 m | Large hands / sparring | Maximum stability and additional wraps possible |
Tips for choosing the right length
- Small hands or light training: Shorter wraps (2.0–2.5 m) are often sufficient.
- Average hands: 3.5–4.0 m offer a good balance of protection and comfort.
- Sparring & intensive training: 4.5 m allow additional stabilisation of the wrist and forearm.
- Too long is rarely a problem: You can simply wrap any excess length around your wrist.
How do you choose the right length?
Unlike gloves, there is no exact measurement for wraps. If you have larger hands or need lots of stability, choose 4.0–4.5 m. For smaller hands or children, shorter wraps are more comfortable.
Standard for adults: Most athletes train with 4.0 to 4.5 metre hand wraps.
