Bear KompleX 2 Hole Leather Hand Grips for Crosffit Workouts, Pull-ups, Weightlifting, WOD Gymnastics, Crosstraining Palm Grips with Wrist Wraps, Hand Protection from Rips and Blisters,1 Pair

Good grips – highly recommend
I’ve been doing CrossFit for four years and enjoy pull-ups, T2B, Muscle Ups, etc but tend to tear my hands bad during these movements. About a year and half ago, I purchased a pair of cheap gymnastic hand wraps (white, around $20), and used them for Metcons. They took a long time to break in, but once worn, they were excellent until the cheap straps broke along the wristline. Unlike others, I didn’t have a problem with the cheap velcro hurting my wrists – I think that’s a function of losing grip and then straining the straps. Having said that, the velcro straps finally gave up the ghost and fell apart.I bought these Bear Komplex grips as them seemed to have better build quality than the generic gymnastic grips. The two main differences I found when I began to use these grips is that the leather is thicker than the generic ones, and the wrist strap structure is far superior. I initially thought the increased thickness was a major problem and that the space between my hand and bar was not good; however, after only a few uses the grips wore in very well and have surpassed my expectations. The key is that the Komplex leather is more supple and conforms around your fingers much more quickly than the cheap ones do. After ten uses, I am now as comfortable with the Komplex grips as I was after six months with the cheap ones. My suggestion is to do a bunch of T2B’s and kettle bell swings before a class for a few weeks to wear in the grips before use – don’t freak out during this break in period as the Komplex grips may feel really thick and it will be very hard to hold on to the bar. Once they break in that feeling goes away and you’ll get good purchase on the bar without tearing skin.

Great Product; Saved My Hands
I just received my Bear KompleX 2 hole grips. I am using them for CrossFit. I have used them twice, and so far I really like them. I tried a similar product and didn’t feel comfortable with the grip. With these, I don’t feel like I am going to slip off the bar. I have also used them with the barbell and dumbbells – feels good. Truly saved my hands from ripping! I didn’t give five stars simply because I just starting using these.

Great grips
I constantly have trouble finding good grips… Too long or short, super thick, over assisting, not pliable, poor quality…I got these Bear KompleX grips the other day and they satisfy my need perfectly. The leather is just thick enough to protect the hands while not taking away from any level of grip training/strengthening. Even with their notice that the grips need some time to break in i found them great from first use a bit slick for lack of something better to call it – not in terms of slip on the bar but in terms of holding chalk. The quality of them is exceptional especially for the low price.The greatest feature was something that I didn’t even expect… I have trouble when performing extended arm type motions like snatches or overhead squats in that after a few reps I tend to let my wrists relax, over extending them which hurts the next day. With the fit on these I have just enough play that my hands get a bit of feed back when I start to over extend. This isn’t so much that I couldn’t do so just enough that I notice and it acts as a reminder hey tighten up and stop slacking!

Very comfortable
Love this product. It has definitely made my lifting more comfortable. I don’t have to worry about that ugly callus buildup.

every thing about it is goodgo with the recommend hand sizes because some advise for bigger sizei just received it but i used different version of same company for rings workoutsso i am not expecting less only the touch is different since this is leather

Es la primera vez que uso calleras y hasta ahora me ha ido muy bien. Protegen mejor que los guantes y dan muy buen agarre en la barra.
