I've just bought some everlast mitts that proclaim to be a good alternative to handwraps....

Anyone used these/got any idea if they are any good??? or am i best off sticking with traditional wraps???

Ta.

You got a link to them?

Jamie Moore was using mitts with a very thin wrap over the top in training the other month... dunno if Moorsey still comes on here, perhaps he can give further advice. Look a bit like UFC mitts don't they?

Wouldnt mind trying them, but cant find UK suppliers. If anyone knows of a link to a UK supplier let us know. Also, Im sure Jamie put light wrapping voer the top of them, dont know if that makes a difference.

Thanks

i wouldn't use them just because when you wrap your hands with bandage you will always get a snug fit but with a type of glove you wont
