THE X-FACTOR GLOVES: THE EVOLUTION OF FIGHTER PROTECTION

Engineered by Fighters. Perfected by Science. Trusted by Champions.

In every gym, on every mat, there’s a truth fighters know but rarely say out loud—your gloves can make or break your performance. You can have elite skill, the best conditioning, and the will of a warrior, but if your hands aren’t protected, none of it matters. That’s the problem we set out to solve.

The X-Factor Gloves aren’t an iteration. They’re a reinvention. Born inside the ONX Lab under the direction of 3X MMA Coach of the Year Trevor Wittman, these gloves were engineered from the ground up to eliminate the flaws fighters have accepted for decades—loose fits, weak wrist stability, hand fatigue, and injuries caused by poor wrap jobs.

This isn’t marketing hype. It’s biomechanics, material science, and fighter experience fused into one goal: to build the ultimate hand and wrist protection system for combat athletes.

The Problem Traditional Gloves Couldn’t Solve

For more than two decades, we’ve trained and worked alongside fighters of every level—world champions under the UFC lights, grinders chasing regional belts, and first-timers throwing their first combinations. Time and time again, one issue persisted: hand injuries.

Every fighter knows the ritual—meticulous hand wraps, layer after layer, pressure in all the right places, and still… a twinge of pain after impact. Traditional gloves simply weren’t doing their job.

• Most standard gloves stabilize the wrong parts of the wrist and hand.
  • Wraps vary in tension depending on who’s wrapping (or how rushed you are).
  • Velcro systems compress unevenly, creating false stability that fails under pressure.

And for the everyday athlete? Poor wrapping technique leads to sprains, tendon stress, and micro-fractures that keep you out of the gym. Fighters were forced to choose between protection and performance. We refused to accept that.

The Birth of the X-Factor Strapping System

Inside ONX Labs, we re-engineered glove architecture around one principle: anatomical precision. The X-Factor Strapping System was built to lock down the metacarpals—the most vulnerable bones in the hand—while maintaining full dexterity and power transfer.

When you pull the internal straps, the glove cinches symmetrically around your hand, creating compression that mirrors a professional wrap job—without the guesswork, bulk, or risk.

Key Innovations Inside the X-Factor Gloves

• Internal Lacing Matrix – Hidden between foam and leather layers to stabilize the glove without restricting natural motion.
  • Thumb-Lock Contour – Keeps the thumb secure and aligned, minimizing strain and accidental hyperextension.
  • Full Wrist Crease Coverage – Reinforces the joint where most gloves fail, delivering 95% better wrist protection compared to traditional designs.
  • Dynamic Tension System – Tighten or relax the compression as needed without cutting off circulation.

The harder you pull, the more unified the glove becomes—like a second skin tuned for impact.

Lace-Up or Velcro — Two Paths to Power

Every fighter’s training flow is different. That’s why we built the X-Factor Gloves in both lace-up and Velcro versions:

• Velcro: For solo training, bag work, and fast transitions. Maximum wrist stability, easy on and off.
  • Lace-Up: For fighters with a corner team or training partners. Fully customizable tension for that locked-in, fight-night feel.

No matter which version you choose, both incorporate the same patented X-Factor system—so you’ll never need to rely on hand wraps again.

Performance Proven in the ONX Lab

Every ONX design is tested under fight-real conditions. Dozens of elite athletes—pros, coaches, and gym owners—have logged hundreds of hours in the X-Factor Gloves. The results speak for themselves:

• 95% reported improved wrist stability and reduced post-training soreness
• Reduction in eye-pokes compared to open-finger MMA gloves
• Increased durability of standard glove construction
• 100% satisfaction rate from fighters and coaches across disciplines

This isn’t theory—it’s data forged from impact.

The ONX Difference

The X-Factor Gloves represent everything we stand for: authentic expertise, relentless innovation, and a fighter-first commitment to protection and performance. Designed by a coach who’s spent decades taping hands, studying mechanics, and listening to fighters at every level, these gloves were built for those who demand more.

Because in the fight world, confidence isn’t a feeling—it’s preparation you can trust.

Who the X-Factor Gloves Are For

• Professional Fighters – Seeking an edge in training and recovery with equipment engineered for longevity.
  • Amateur Athletes – Learning proper striking mechanics without risking injury.
  • Coaches & Gyms – Prioritizing safety and performance for every athlete who steps into the cage.
  • Combat Fitness Enthusiasts – Training hard without worrying about hand pain or wrap setup.

The X-Factor Gloves aren’t about looking tough—they’re about training smart, hitting harder, and lasting longer.

More Than Equipment. It’s a Movement.

At ONX, gear is just the starting point. The X-Factor Gloves are part of a larger mission—to elevate the standard of fighter protection across every level of the sport.

Discipline. Sacrifice. Glory. The path to greatness demands all three. We exist to make sure your gear never holds you back from any of them.
