A training partner wore Sanabul grappling socks and loved them. Check this out. https://www.amazon.com/Sanabul-Grips-Kickboxing-Wrestling-X-LARGE/dp/B079RMHDL6/ref=sr_1_1?s=sporting-goods&ie=UTF8&qid=1523477630&sr=1-1&keywords=sanabul+socks
They don’t directly protect much (that’s what your gloves are for!) but they do reduce long term wear and tear.
In wrapping your hands up fairly tightly you make your closed striking fists more of a uniform solid object so your joints don’t take as much stress.
FWIW I don’t train frequently at the moment and don’t use them, it’s much more comfortable without them for me.
If you were training on the daily I’d use them though or at least these or similar, not as good though cos you want handwraps snug.
I have had experience with both.
I wore a couple from Title and Ultimatum boxing when I had braces. They did protect my mouth better, but the facebar limits visibility quite a bit. Also, I feel like I was hit on the nose (mine is big enough to stick out of the headgear) more often.
Another thing I have noticed is that when sparring some people with face bars will ignore being hit in the face, because it does not hurt enough, leading to all kinds of problems.
I have since switched to an open face headgear from Ultimatum, and I am not going back to the face bar version. Its a lot lighter and offers a much smaller hitbox for the opponent to aim at. It also gives you better visibility.
I've been using these recently: https://www.amazon.com/Headgear-Grappling-Guard-Sparring-Helmet/dp/B07M8NKZVV/ref=sr_1_3?keywords=roar+headgear&qid=1554078218&s=gateway&sr=8-3.
But a more expensive version I was also looking at was: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B07BF2ZD5N/ref=sspa_dk_detail_0?psc=1&pd_rd_i=B07BF2ZD5N&pd_rd_w=lU6q5&pf_rd_p=733540df-430d-45cd-9525-21bc15b0e6cc&pd_rd_wg=y9TDT&pf_rd_r=713BQJFCA15MCVJN40G0&pd_rd_r=8aad8fde-5414-11e9-abc6-4338a415eec6

I only ever buy Fairtex handwraps. I watch out for these on Amazon. They do change prices every now and then so I've only ever paid $10 per pair.

Sorry if this has been asked to death, but stupid questions welcome, right? I’ve been boxing for about two months 3x/week. I got some new hand wraps so I can always have a clean pair (apparently you can get athletes foot on your hands, sooo trying to avoid that). I kept seeing these on Amazon. I never remember to ask when I’m at the gym, but what’s the deal with these? They seem more efficient, but i don’t see anyone using them at the gym. Are they really just for other types of martial arts/mma? Will they not fit in my gloves? Thanks!
Yeah, I'm looking for it to be a gateway to HEMA for my kids and their friends.

Do you have any links to the Russian karate helmet? I've fround the Star brand for the chest protector, but the closest helmet I can find is something like this - https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01N3D45VA/ - which is probably sufficient.

I use these. Really affordable but I've had them for almost two years
I have the same issue with tape coming off - you might want to try neoprene finger sleeves - they stay on, provide the same protection / stability as tape and are available in different configurations depending what fingers you need to protect. I have and like these. https://www.amazon.com/Luta-Gear-GRIPP-Double-Deuce/dp/B07779GZF5
I'm just going through a similar injury (same finger) but mine was def worse. I ended up taking almost two months off to let the damn thing heal. I went to PT for it as well and the one thing they told me was that you need to keep bending and moving the finger.
​
As for tape, I have done it but it's kind of a PITA. I recently picked up a pair of these based on a teammates recommendation and they have worked really well so far.
