★ Hand Wraps | Overprint (Battle-Scarred)

The ★ Hand Wraps | Overprint in Battle-Scarred (BS) take the lower band of the scale, 0.45 to 0.80, cut off at the top by a 0.80 ceiling. They are Extraordinary rank, with the star, and drop from the Clutch Case and the Revolution Case. In CS2, items like this are marked with a star.

What the ★ Hand Wraps | Overprint look like in Battle-Scarred

Gray wraps with a large turquoise geometric print. The fabric is dark gray, almost graphite, while the print is a bright turquoise, closer to mint, with gray gaps between. Valve calls the wraps black, but the fabric is in fact graphite.

The print runs over the wrist and the back of the hand, while the fingers and the palm side stay dark fabric with no print. The pattern of triangles, chevrons and stripes recalls an ethnic blanket, with fine stitching along the edges of the wraps. In Battle-Scarred the fabric looks clean, and along the creases the tone is slightly darker, as if rubbed.

What to check before buying

Copies of the ★ Hand Wraps | Overprint differ in only two ways:

• float: the 0.45 to 0.80 band leaves room to choose, and copies nearer 0.45 are cleaner;
