AEOLOS Leather Gymnastics Hand Grips-Great for Gymnastics,Pull up,Weight Lifting,Kettlebells and Cross Training

UPDATE 2:I have to admit, this company is honestly amazing. I first complained about my first pair of wrist grips breaking within days of buying them. They sent me a new pair. I wrote a new review and realized I ordered the wrong size and the black color stained my hands. Unexpectedly, Aeolos sent me a different pair in the correct size. I will admit, my mind about this company has changed. They really care about their customers. It isn’t about making an easy buck. For them, it’s about customer satisfaction. That is somethings hard to find these days. Bravo! Not only are my new hand grips better, my expectations for this company have gone through the roof. If you’re looking to order anything through them, I highly suggest it.UPDATE: The company read my original review about the grips ripping. They sent me a replacement. I finally used them for the first time and they work well. I ordered the black ones. They do tend to stain your hands if you sweat. So if you plan to order these, I would go with a lighter color. Also make sure to size yours just right. I ordered a small and after using these grips, I think I may be an XS. But the small works just fine. They crunch up a little bit with weights in your hands. But overall, these second set of grips have not ripped. I’ve been using them for almost a week now. If you’re looking for something to help with grips and preventing callouses on your hands, I would try these out. They’re reasonably priced and so far, work well.—————-ORIGIN POST:I was super excited for this product. I lift weights almost every day and wanted to try and prevent more calluses on my palms. But these hand grips ripped the second time I used them. They are now hanging by threads and I’m slightly upset I ordered them because now I have to order new ones.

Normally I use gloves in the gym. Say what you want, buy the ladies like softer hands over hands full of calluses. Some bars have very aggressive knurling. Those bars tend to tear my hands to shreds. Thus, I wear gloves. Even over time, the gloves get pretty torn up. And no matter how much padding, my hands still get torn up a bit. After some research, I found these gloves. Weirdest looking things I have ever seen. But they made sense, so I bought them. Best decision ever! It takes 3-5 workout session for these to be broken in. They are a bit stiff and cumbersome at first. But after a few days, they soften right up. The leather protects my hands way more than any gloves I've ever had. I think the reason for this is that they are open. You're hands no sweat like they do in gloves. So your skin isn't as damp and prone to damage like they are enclosed in traditional gloves. If I'm using ropes, or doing legs, its super simple to slide your finger out and even get more air. They just hand on your wrist for when you need them again. The quality seems excellent and I've had these for about a year now. They work great and I'd recommend these to anyone!

Nice quality and they smell nice first out of the package. The hand coverage is what I wanted and feels great. The wrist Velcro and getting them on snug is not easy. I hope to get used to the wrist wrap. I don't use the finger holes and they rub the bend of my wrist raw.

they are perfect and fit perfect

Once you modify the finger holes, this is a great set of grips. You have to cut a bit into the leather of the finger holes to widen them, and then take some sandpaper or a rotary tools to smooth out the edges. Otherwise they cut into your fingers for months. But, the leather is good, the buckle is solid. Love them...now.

Super comfortable and easy to put on. The grip thickness is spot on as it provides enough protection to avoid major tears but also has a minimal feel. They run true to handsize. Would buy again!

Just completed the Crossfit 2020 OPEN with standard gym gloves when I realized I need to graduate to grips. I looked around to see what the Pros were using, googled a few brand names and watched a YouTube video before selecting grips from one of your well known competitors. The product arrived and I threw it in my gym bag with the intent on breaking them in. When I got to the gym, I was confused on how to put them on. When I finally figured it out, they just didn't "feel right" (May have been the wrong size) and the leather was on the thin side. I asked my coach about my grips when I noticed his. He was wearing the AEOLOS brand. I was immediately drawn to the thick wrist strap. Mine had something the size of a tight rope....lol I asked him about his grips and he took one off and let me examine it: Thicker leather, better fit, and a solid strap. I was sold. I got the information from him and placed an order. The Product arrived on time and as advertised. When I pulled the grips out of the package and put them on it was a perfect fit. The leather was thick and those solid straps and Velcro made your product a winner. My only regret is not purchasing AEOLOS first..... especially since I forked out $45 for the Pro Endorsed Widely Known Brand. AEOLOS is a STEAL under $20. Great Product
