Review on WODFitters Textured Leather Hand Grips For Cross Training, Kettlebells, Powerlifting, Chin Ups, Pull Ups, WODs & Gymnastics – With Grips Storage Pouch by Brian Potter

Revainrating 5 out of 5

If gloves and tape haven't worked, try these!

I've tried gloves, tape, "The Natural Grips" and none of those worked well for me until these. They are not too thick, not too slippery, and allow my hand to breathe unlike with gloves. My hands have been well protected and haven't gotten as callused since before I started using these. I have petite hands and the finger holes are very large for me but so far I haven't had a problem with them not covering my upper palms when I grip the bar. However I did have to modify them to make them comfortable to wear. The outer leather section of the finger holes (the piece that goes in between your index/middle finger and between your ring/pinky finger) is way too thick and it was near impossible for me to close my hand into a grip and hold a bar without that leather digging hard into the sides of my fingers. So I just cut it so that it was the same width as the inner part of the finger holes. Much better!
