RockTape wrist straps are a blend of both classic style wrist bands and compression-fit cloth wrist wraps. They’re soft, breathable cloth strips with virtually no elasticity, yet when they close they lock closed using Velcro rather than a traditional strap. They also don’t feel bulky to wear, though they are long enough for most wrists sizes.
The idea behind the fabric-free wrist wraps is to allow you to move your wrists freely so that you can train for your fitness goals. And these cloth wraps work well for exercising because they offer resistance when you use them. This helps to burn more calories without having to add any extra weight to your gym bag or to your hands. As an added bonus, you don’t have to worry about your gym clothes being damaged in the process. You can easily take them on and off at will.
But if you’ve never used these cloth wrist wraps before you may be wondering how to get started. It’s really quite simple. You simply need to choose a design of wrist support that you find comfortable. There are many different designs available including those that fit snugly against your wrist, those that slip over your whole wrist, and those that are completely in the canal of your wrist. Once you’ve decided which one you’d like to try, simply slip it over your wrists. They’ll make a fairly large imprint of your choice on your wrists and since you can take them off when you’re finished for a quick change of clothes, you won’t waste any time.
If you’d prefer to buy your cloth wrist wraps, the best place to find them is online. You can usually get a better price on them online than in your local drugstore or fitness supply store. Plus, there are dozens of websites that specialize in selling these kinds of wraps and they have hundreds of styles to choose from as well as different kinds of ink to use in them. You can get ones with antibacterial ink so you can help keep bacteria away from your skin while you exercise and you can get ones that make your skin even tighter and thus more resistant to the impact of exercising.
You can also get a variety of other accessories with cloth wrist wraps too including armbands that you can use to keep your wrists in place while you’re exercising and a band that you can wear on your upper arm to give you an instant workout. And you can get them in just about any color you can imagine including neon colors, solid colors, animal prints, floral patterns, and all kinds of hot pink, lime green, fuchsia, and orange. You can mix and match and try out all kinds of combinations to come up with the perfect set of cloth wraps for your needs. There’s truly no end to the great choices you’ll find when you shop for breathable wear made of cloth.
Another thing you may want to think about is how to fasten the wraps on your wrists. Most people like to use Velcro since it’s easy to attach and release but there are also ties that you can use as well. The good news is that if you buy the ones that are Velcro, they usually come with a little foam so they seal better than plain fabric ones. Keep all this in mind when you look at the pros and cons of the various types of wraps for your workout or other purposes.
