    I used and really liked their earlier version, which did not have so much neopreme over the wrist.

        That looks like a good product for hand protection Gez. Have you ever considered wrapping with gauze and tape? I know it can be a bit time consuming and expensive but it is a great way to protect your hands and promote power due to the padding and binding. I've even used cotton balls and ductape before. A tip for wrapping correct is to hold your hand out open and fingers spread while wrapping. After each revolution around your hand you should make a fist to check for comfort. Make sure and secure your wrists homey.

            keep your fingers spread out...

            try the Meixcan style wraps also - a bit more flexible.

              yeah i was looking at those, wish id bought them instead of the herringbone. they look alot easier to wrap

              i keep my fingers out etc, i just find i do them abit tight and find it hard to clench a fist or run out of wrap, just need lots more practice at it

                What I do is clench and unclench my fists while I'm wrapping several times to make sure nothing is too tight. Also consider getting some of the "Mexican Style" wraps. I prefer them because they are thinner and slightly stretchy.
