A Note About the Measurements

Wraps are inherently difficult to measure. Length is measured with a soft tape in hand. The tape measure I use is 100 ft, so it is done continuously. I square the wrap when measuring width (so as not to measure diagonally) and flatten the wrap without stretching to get the width. Thickness is measured with a micrometer. This is highly dependent on user. Thicknesses should be used in comparison rather than as absolutes.

Didymos Latimeria Fish


Despite being a thin wrap fan, I wanted to try Latimeria after hearing many rave reviews.  Latimeria was all it was said to be; thick, supportive, dense, smooth, good glide and fairly moldable for its thickness.  In the end, it was just too heavy for me in a long wrap so it moved on to a thick wrap loving mama.

Weight/Area: 309 g/qm (that is one heavy wrap!)
Width: 65 cm
Thickness:  25 mils
