FAQ

Q1. What’s the difference between HD and OG?

HD has a wider wrist support and wider hand coverage. Our OG design has a thinner wrist support and more minimalist hand coverage, designed to fit the human hand.

Q2. Should I chalk these?

These can be used with or without chalk based on preference, bar type and grip required. Be sure to give them a clean every couple of weeks with a moist cloth to clean off any dried chalk.

Q3. What pull up bars do these do best with?

All pull up bars, chalk will help with certain bar types like bare steel

Q4. Should I go a size up for fingerless?

Depending on how you grip the bar potentially yes. However you do not need to have a lot of excess hanging over the bar like you might see some athletes do. Especially with how grippy these are, it just comes down to preference.

Q5. Should I go fingerless or fingerholes?

One way you can decide is how you grab the pull up bar. Thumbs around, fingerhole may be better, Thumbs over, fingerless may be better. But it does come down to personal preference. Fingerholes also offer other options such as to be used on KB’s or on a barbell as needed. It’s also worth noting you do not need to put your fingers all the way in for fingerholes, and just the tips will often give you more of a dowel effect to lock onto the bar with. Again test and trial and see what works best for you.

Q6. What’s the best way to break them in?

For those who prefer a firmer feel on the bar, they’re ready to go. To soften then up quickly, simply roll them up towards the wrist strap and wrap a lacky band around them for 10:00-30:00. You can continue to do this in between uses until they soften to your desired amount, but usually once will be enough.

*For 2XL go up to 14cm in length
