What Are CS2 Hand Wraps?

CS2 Hand Wraps are a ★ Gloves-class cosmetic item that appears on both of your player’s hands during matches, making them one of the most visible in-game cosmetic slots. Unlike flashier Specialist Gloves or Sport Gloves, Hand Wraps offer a subtler, more utilitarian aesthetic for players who prefer understated loadouts that don’t distract from gameplay.
