I have a pair of Titan THP wraps. Worn them at the very most for about 20 sessions. They seem to be wearing a bit now, sort of losing elasticity and generally becoming a bit ragged. Is this normal for this length of time?

    Had my Titan THP's for around 5 years now, worn every week, still feel ok to me and look like new still. I just make sure to roll them back up when i store them, always have.

      They will loose a bit of give quickly. However should maitain good performance for a few years. Don't store them rolled up though. At least don't roll tight before you put away. Smallish thing but worth thinking off. Seems like 20 sessions is a bit quick to look dogg eared?
       
      If I was competing I'd probably get a new set most years and train with the older set and use an only broken in set for meet time.

        Was not aware you shouldn't roll them to store them, i was always told you should, i have always done it loosely though. I shall stop! Cheers for that.

            Got you, no i put no stretch into them, just roll them loosely. Seem to have lasted well anyway. Cheers.
