What is the difference between the Back on Track No Bow leg wraps and Quick Wraps?
No Bows are a denser fabric with a foam inside. The No Bows leg wraps need to be held in place with a standing wrap (not included). The Quick Wraps have an inner pillow wrap with a neoprene outer layer that attaches with Velcro straps. No standing wrap is needed. Both wraps work in the same way, so whichever wrap one chooses is personal preference.
