Best knee wraps?

Im currently looking at the Metal brand: http://www.flexcart.com/members/elit...&m=PD&pid=2187

Also APT: http://www.prowriststraps.com/inc/sdetail/133510

And Inzer: http://www.inzernet.com/detail.asp?P...ID=WRAPS_IRONZ

All of them the 2.5m

I was told the Metal knee wraps are really good, but theres really know way to tell unless you could try them all out. Inzer is only $30 where as the others are $60-65. I would much rather spend 30, but ill go with the more expensive ones if there is a reason for them being so much more.

Would appreciate the help very much. Thanks.

"the wrap" from APT is very very strong.

I would recommend the strangulators or convict pros from APT personally.

metal all blacks are also good, but I would rate them slightly below the convicts from APT.

inzer iron wraps Z are **** compared to the others.

Ive used APT, Inzer and TP 5000s

I like the APT Convicts best, then TP, then Inzer


I still use the TP though. they are a great price. feels like a cast and great pop out of the hole

it really depends on

1) if it's your first wrap or if you've used wraps before

2) how you squat (wide vs. traditional/USAPL super deep)

3) how long the org you compete in allows wraps to be

If it's your first or second wrap, you squat more traditional style, and your org only allows 2m knee wraps max... then you want a softer wrap that has more rebound like the ZRV-PROs or the Black Mambas

If you are a wrap vet and your squat wide and your org allows longer (3m) wraps then I would go with something stiffer like the strangulators, convicts, or hybrids.

Thanks everyone. Im thinking of going with the Convict/Strangulator 3m hybrid. I think itll best suit me for gym and competition.
