Grips Materials
BumbleBee™
BumbleBee is one of our most popular materials. BumbleBee fabric is dual layer 1.8mm thick microfibre. It has a soft feel with slight elasticity and compression. This makes the BumbleBee a good mix between protection and natural feel of the bar.
BumbleBee is ideal for beginners to elites and works well not most surfaces
BumbleBee™ RX
BumbleBee RX is the same dual microfibre material used in BumbleBee, however, the main difference here is the thickness. BumbleBee RX come at 3mm thickness for the sole purpose of added protection.
Ideal for athletes who prefer more protection.
Panda™
Panda is a 2mm single layer microfibre fabric. Very similar to BumbleBee with some key differences. Panda does not stretch or compress and retains shape very well. It is a stiffer fabric than BumbleBee, however, offers better performance for high volume training due to its rugged nature.
Panda is ideal for beginners to elites and atheltes who seek a good balance of grip, protection and durability.
Panda™ Soft
The Panda Soft or SF offers the opposite qualities of the regular Panda material. Panda Soft is 2mm single layer microfibre. It is extremely soft and elastic. Is does stretch and compress making it a great pair to use as a second skin not just for gymnastic movements.
Ideal for beginners, athletes with smaller hands who like natural feel and dexterity.
Panda Soft also work great on wooden rings too

Merlin™
Merlin is a 2mm dual layer rubber/microfibre composite material. The special marine rubber is designed to improve grip on all surfaces and retain chalk. The Merlin fabric has a firm feel and does not stretch or compress. Best to be used in competition environment with low-moderate rep volume.

Grips Styles
Fingerless
Fingerless grips have become very popular. This style is perfect to be used for fast transitions, however, fingerless models don't usually work well with classic (thumb under bar) grip, as the thumb pushes the material to the side and down. Fingerless should always be used with thumb over bar grip for best results. The closer to the wrist you can catch the bar, the better the grips will perform.
Ideal for athletes with thumb over bar grip.
3-hole
The 3-hole models offer the best all-round grips experience. The 3-hole is a universal style the can be used as fingerless as well. Being able to grip the bar, dumbbell, rings or kettlebell while not having to worry about grips coming off is a big advantage. For the best results we recommend the use of dowel effect by creating a fold at the top of the grips.
Ideal for all athletes due its universal nature and all-round capability.
2-hole
Timeless style for the minimalist feel. 2-hole design has been around in gymnastics for a long time. It offers minimal interference and protection down the middle portion of the palm. It allows for natural dexterity of the index finger and thumb and can be used for any and all movements, not just bar or ring work.
Ideal for minimalists and great for kettlebell, dumbbell and bar work.
Grips Designs

X1 designs feature straight cut shape with sharper edges. X1 designs are characteristiacally symmetrical from side to side and offer even pulling force dictribution around the wrist
Ideal for all athletes who prefer simple straight forward design and feel.
X2
X2 shapes feature rounded edges and ergonomic fit around the thumb portion of the grip pad. X2 desgins carry the most significant angle towards the index finger and the thumb.
Ideal for athletes with thumb under bar grip and beginners.
X3

Ideal for athletes who prefer less invasive grips, while still maintaining protection and grip in the most crucial areas
