Hand grips

Hand grips protect your skin from rips and excessive callus build‑up, improve friction on the pull‑up bar and rings, and help you maintain form as volume rises in movements like kipping pull‑ups, TTB or muscle‑ups; at Velites we engineer premium training tools to help you unlock performance—Made, not Born—combining comfort, durability and a secure feel for high‑rep gymnastics.

Most athletes measure from the wrist crease to the base of the middle finger, then pick the nearest size; because pattern and cut vary by model, always check the Size Guide on each product page and aim for a snug wrist strap that stays put without cutting into the skin. See the size chart available directly on our hand‑grip product pages.

Many Velites grips provide high friction without chalk—ideal on smooth or powder‑coated bars—so you can move faster between stations while keeping your training area cleaner; if you prefer a slightly drier feel, a light dusting of chalk is optional rather than essential for our no‑chalk designs.

Yes. Velites is an official partner of the 2025 CrossFit Games—named Official Grip and Jump Rope earlier in the season and later announced as Official Apparel and Footwear; that’s why you’ll see “Official grips of the CrossFit Games®” on our collection.

Velites and CrossFit announced a co‑branded grip that complies with the CrossFit Games Rulebook and is enabled for in‑competition use at the Games; as local events can set additional rules, always review the organiser’s equipment notes before competing.

Yes—our grips are designed for pull‑up bars and rings commonly found in affiliates; they work particularly well on smooth/powder‑coated bars, while on very rough textures it’s best to test progressively to balance grip with glide so you can swing efficiently without hot spots.

Wipe them with a damp cloth and mild soap when needed, let them air‑dry thoroughly and store them dry; avoid high heat and harsh chemicals, and use the breathable carry bag (included in many models) to prevent odour build‑up between sessions.

You have 30 days to request a return or size exchange as long as the grips are unused, in perfect condition and in their original packaging; start the process via our Returns Portal and check the regional fees/conditions listed in our help centre.

Many models ship with soft wristbands to reduce irritation and manage sweat, plus a mesh bag that helps them dry and keeps your kit organised—check inclusions on each product page within the grips collection.

Depending on the model, we employ advanced microfibre blends (including rubber and Kevlar fibres in specific designs) to maximise durability and hold; the listed models in our shop use 100% vegan materials, detailed on the product page.
