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

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…

These do *alright* to help reduce some wear on the palms, particularly on pullups. I don't cross-fit, so I can't tell you how they may help for those activities. But for basic weightlifting and pullups, they do seem to help although the finger holes took a while to "shape" to my fingers. I don't have large fingers, so that's something to keep in mind. They add a little support in a restrictive-sense to keep the hands somewhat rigid so as not to strain the wrists, which I find helpful…

Great product. I tore my hands up on July 4th doing the Bradshaw workout and thought I would be out of commission for awhile. bought these and was rope climbing the next day. I recommend these for any workout with heavy pullups (especially if you butterfly or kip)/bar hanging movements/rope climbs/rings etc.One note on the size, I'm technically between a small and medium and went with the smaller size as some other reviews recommended and it's been great for me. They will stretch a little when…

Started getting calluses and tears from the various pull up bars at the gym. These took care of it. I don't like wearing gloves or taking them off and on during metcons so I loosen up the strap, and after the pull up portion shove them out of the way in the wrist strap. It takes a second to take on and off vs gloves.There was chafing of the leather on my clothes occasionally, I'm expecting that to stop with use, otherwise I'd look for a died darker cooler in the future, since I normally wear…

Hello all, let me start by saying that im sure the customer service from WOD is great but this product needs to be improved. This product is like a very rough draft of an essay, it looks and feels like it needs to be revised a few times before it is ready to be a success. First, the main part that covers your palm is a flat square piece of leather with 2 square holes. Our fingers nor our palms are exactly square so i would suggest a more customized piece for the palm and finger slots. When im…

I bought these because I recently was able to do a muscle up and in my excitement of wanting to do better have torn my calluses and my hands up doing muscle ups every day. They fit well and do the job of protecting my calluses and my hands. I managed to rip my palm open still, but I think that still going to happen from time to time because the leather needs to be broken in.But these thing protect my hands from destroying my hands doing high volume bar work. The bag that it came in is nice…

Worked well for a few months then the leather ripped off the strap on one of them, so I now have no way to secure it around my wrist and it just flaps about, which takes extra time and energy to make sure it is set up on the bar correctly every single rep.UPDATE 4/6/2016: WODFitters has shipped me free replacements so I am back in business. I was only expecting one to replace the busted one, but they sent me an entire new set with the bag and everything. Great Customer Service! Hopefully these…

Used these for a few calisthenics/bar workouts and so far they've done the job -- my calluses aren't quite as gnarly as they used to be and I can get some more sets out before the skin on my hands gets too painful. Only suggestion, as others have pointed out, is that round finger holes rather than square might be a little more comfortable. Good product for the price though.

For the most part, these are good and get the job done. My hands don't get torn up on Pull ups, rings, and other movements which would rip me.if (as other reviews stated) they put round or oval (finger shaped) holes, it would make them much more comfortable. Also, the plastic loop that secures the velcro will dig in during certain movements. A design like wrist wraps would help with comfort as it could alleviate the digging in that happens sometimes.

I purchased these to replace my last set of hand grips (different manufacturer) that I wore out. I principally use them to protect my calluses from the knurling on the Oly bar when I deadlift heavy. But I have also found that they help with Muscle ups and Pull ups, in those cases more because I think they modestly enhance grip. So far they work as expected and given that the leather pad is a bit heavier and stiffer than the last few pairs I have used I am hopeful that they will last me a bit…
