Complete wrapping is disliked because it prevents a person from raising his hands to the level of his shoulders during the bowing (ruku'), rising from it, standing up from the first sitting (tashahhud), and the opening takbir. Or, if he does raise them, his private parts (awrah) may be exposed. For this reason, it was prohibited.
