Wrist wraps

What are people using for wrist wraps?

I'm carrying an injury in my left wrist that means I need to use wraps for pretty much everything.

I was using 12" Titan titanium wraps for years but left them behind at the gym last year. I switched to my backup - 12" APT black mambas, but forgot them last week when I crawled out of the gym in a prowler-induced stupor.

Sadly they weren't handed in so now I need to buy more.

It's been 5+ years since I've bought wraps of any kind. What's good and where are people buying it from?

I'm leaning towards titanium wraps again, from liftinglarge.com. $34.28 USD inc. shipping to Melbourne.

I'm not a competitive lifter and I don't move big weights, so I'd prefer wraps that are easy to put on/take off and aren't too stiff.
 
Thanks! I'd forgotten about underground elite. Kinda gave up on aussie supplies a few years after I got stung by strengthsupplies and heard bad things about others.

Are the Iron Z and THP wraps particularly stiff/tight? In my head I associate them with serious, heavy lifting and powerlifting. I've never had more than about 140 kg in my hands and I'm nowhere near benching even that much at the moment.

I wasn't planning to go longer than 50 cm. Because of my injury I wrap my wrists even for things like pushdowns, JM presses, curls. I think I'd feel like a bit of a wanker putting on 1m wraps and doing curls!

Just do them up less tight
They are elastic
 
Same as Ono.
Iron Z 20"-36" wraps for training
THP 20" for comps.

Loaded lifting in WA is the best place to buy Inzer.

I have had no problem with them. delivery was pretty prompt. I bought their brand and they have done me well. Others on here would be more qualified to comment on brand etc
 
Cool, thanks guys. Went with the Inzer Iron Z 20" straps from Loaded Lifting.

UGE were cheaper by about $5 but didn't have stock and I didn't get a response from them about availability.

Pretty damn expensive at $55 delivered. I need to stop leaving shit behind at the gym.
 
I use GFA hard core wrist wraps - strong and super supportive. I think they are the best support partner to prevent injury.
