Okay, so I finally caved and bought these grips after seeing half my CrossFit box rocking them. Verdict? LOVE THEM.
First off, the grip is insane—like, ‘glued-to-the-bar’ insane. Did a set of 20 kipping pull-ups, and not once did I feel like I was losing control. The Kevlar reinforcement? Chef’s kiss. No fraying, no weird stretching.
Also, NO BLISTERS. My hands usually look like a war zone after high-rep workouts, but these grips actually cushion the pressure points. The neoprene wrist padding is a game-changer—no digging or bruising.
Small gripe: The velcro strap is a tad long, but honestly, I’ll take it over straps that don’t stay put. And yeah, they’re a bit slick on powder-coated bars (chalk fixes that), but on textured bars? *chef’s kiss again*.
10/10 would recommend—especially if you’re tired of re-buying flimsy grips every few months. These feel built to last.
