WODFitters Textured Leather Hand Grips for Improved Grip Strength and Comfort

Zero: I used to do CrossFit and these helped me so much. Less rips on my hands and I could hold on to the rig better. Would buy again

zisong z.: The leather hand part is good. But the wrist is flimsy. Mixed feeling.

Niko: Li presi inizialmente,quando iniziai a fare crossfit.
Sono comodi per appendersi alla sbarra.
Se devi fare altri esercizi a corpo libero tipo burpees etc possono dare fastidio tra le dita.

Ciocio14: Allora su questi tipi di attrezzature per Crossfit ci sarebbe da scrivere dei poemi, io valuto il prodotto è dopo la Mia esperienza.
Per quanto riguarda il prodotto, nulla da criticare, è perfetto, durevole nel tempo, resistente, e utile fino ad un certo punto, mi vorrei soffermare appunto su l'utilità di questi prodotti che a mio parere possono sembrare indispensabili. Dico questo perché chi va al box ad allenarsi su 15 crosfitter le usano forse in 2, le prime volte le userete, poi crederete che vi salvino le mani, e un attimo dopo completamente l'opposto, fino ad accantonarli. Questo è quello che è successo a me, credo sia anche una cosa sopratutto soggettiva, perché se pesi 95 kg e pensi di non aprirti mai le mani sbagli. Ci sono passati tutti e tutti ci dovranno passare.

Bob F: The hand grips do exactly as I expected. I think the little bag is good to keep everything together in your kitbag and not dirty the Velcro. Pricey for the extra of a bag but l'm not disappointed

Amazon Customer: Great grip and comfortable to wear. Size comes up slightly small (I bought the medium size) for a normal male hand so it might be worth trying a larger size than you planned.

MBY: Really like these. Been crossfitting for over 8 years and I wish I had found these sooner. I use to make my own grips out of athletic tape but no longer have the time or energy. Even if I did, I think I would still go with these WODFitter grips.

I have only used them thus far in around 6 WODs averaging 50 or so pull-ups each. The grips have held up well and appear to be well constructed. They pretty much take hand tearing and soreness issues out of the equation. I will say, I still experience some hand issues due to the leather rubbing against my palm which is somewhat expected and still much more bearable than full blown tearing.

I've had no issues with the wrist straps. The transition between pullups and non-grip movements is really simple. I just pop my fingers and and rotate the grip to the back of my hand. Then spin the grip back to my palms and slip back in when it is time for more pullups. Quick and easy.

The only real "issue," that in the end was a non-issue, was the stiffness of the grips. Of the two grips, one had significantly stiffer leather than the other which made the finger holes very uncomfortable. I was concerned that this would cause...

DDC: Please don't interpret the 3 stars as an indication that these were bad. It's just that they weren't as great as I was hoping, and there is some room for improvement. Before I begin, though, I have to note that this shipped from a 3rd party vendor and they got to my house insanely fast - kudos there.

So, these work. They are sized appropriately. But, they shed (you'll want that bag that comes with the grips). One of the grips broken in within 2 weeks, the other one still hasn't broken in after a month (using them 3x a week). On the grip that is broken in, I don't mind the excess leather between my fingers; in the other one, it is uncomfortable. The holes in for my fingers are a little weird because they are big enough to allow my rings to create blisters right at the base of my fingers (where they would show up without the grips). But, the grips protect my hands well when doing (or more accurately trying to do!!) muscle-ups on the rings.

I ended up stopping using these after about 6 weeks. I felt my hands were getting rougher and better able to handle what I was doing. But, I'm not unhappy that I tried these. They did work for the most part. If you are interested in...

Greg: These work. That's the short answer.
The longer answer is that while they work, a few minor design changes would do wonders for this product. The finger holes should not be square, as this creates difficulty in finger insertion/removal (lost time if you are in the midst of a WOD). The wrist strap holds well, but the plastic loop/buckle digs into your wrist. Surely, there is a better material than this plastic, or the loop/buckle can be made to stay atop or underneath the wrist.
As for the leather strips, they definitely protect your hands well and grip well. However, it seems the product would again be a bit better designed if the strips were off centered slightly toward the "meat" of the palm near the thumb. This would aline the strips better with the fingers, causing less discomfort to the fingers from the square holes. Just a thought.
All this is to say: While the product could be better designed, the current product does as advertised and is much preferred to bare-handed muscle ups on wood rings or a metal bar. I strongly recommend trying these before buying another product, more expensive. This product may be all you need, or it will allow you to better define what...
