WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN NORMAL WRIST WRAPS AND FUNCTIONAL WRIST WRAPS?

In this article I will distinguish between "Wrist Wraps" (the common term for the special bandages) and wrist bandages (the typical fitness and bodybuilding bandages). The second have the following disadvantages: The bandages must be opened and reapplied for more/less tension The Velcro closure prevents a general fit for everyone, especially with thinner wrists You usually have a thumb loop

FUNCTIONAL WRIST WRAPS, AS SHOWN IN GREEN HERE, ON THE OTHER HAND, HAVE

A closure with a tape that cannot be soiled. We recommend silicone print on the tape so that the Wrist Wrap holds well and stays closed.

In addition, the Wrist Wraps fit everyone, as there is no Velcro closure which hinders the flexibility of size adjustment. Wrist Wraps are therefore suitable for women, as well as men and children

No thumb loop, because the fixation is also possible without rubber on the thumb

Thinner fabric, which is more comfortable to wear, less likely to cause sweating and yet extremely well supported

WONDERING WHICH WRAPS ARE RIGHT FOR YOU?

Basically, you can say that they differ in the ratio of support to mobility of the wrist. The more fixed a wrist is, the more stable it is, though the more immobile it is.

The Power Wrist Wraps give you maximum stability and can be closed tightly thanks to the thumb loop and Velcro closure. Thus, they are best suited for heavy repetitions in weighted or heavy statics.

The new Light Wrist Wraps are the exact opposite. They are very light & soft and give some stability with maximum freedom of movement. They are comfortable to wear e.g. in handstands or push ups on the floor, where the wrist has to bend far and needs a lot of freedom of movement.

The Performance Wrist Wraps are a "middle ground" between the other two bandages. They provide better support than the Light Wrist Wraps due to the stiffer material, while offering more ROM (Range of Motion) than the Power Wrist Wraps. This makes them most popular as typical calisthenics wraps for Statics & Dynamics athletes.
