I've got the mini-gangsta wraps on my short list (nobody has them in stock). I've got the Slingshot multi-purpose wraps and they're too long/cumbersome to work with IMO for pressing stuff but pretty helpful when I need a tad more support on squats vs using my Rehbands. I think the mini gangstas fill a gap nicely in terms of size/ease of putting on/taking off after each set. Regular gangstas I think overlap too much into the territory of the slingshots.

Just a quick note Brandon. You wanna wrap it around the back of your wrist if using the traditional ' sticky out loop' because then when you clench your hand the wrap tightens. This is a basic technique used in hand wrapping for martial arts:)

Brandon have you used sbd stiff wrist wraps? if so how do they compare toe to toe. I cant decide between the two and I need the one that will suit me best. I have tiny wrist and have had wrist injuries. so I need something to protect/support my wrist when I go heavy. I have been using shieck wrist supports. Also, do you thinnk I could wrap my wrist in the "boxer" variation that you showed. again because my wrist are tiny. like a girls wrist.

I wouldn't say these are "comfortable" as their purpose is to wrap very tightly and only be worn during the sets themselves. If you're just looking for general wrist support, you might like something the like Schiek supports better.
