PROTECHT GRIPS

Awesome product and works great

I really like these grips although a little expensive. Material quality is excellent and I can see them lasting a long time. I also appreciate how large the palm pad is when working however they can get in the way a little when using my hands for other things (phone, water, plates, etc.). I came from straps and another brand of grips. I still use straps for some movements because I can get them extremely tight and they can be better for heavier weight. I love that I can wear my watch with these though. I use it every workout for my fitness tracking and rest timer, so extremely convenient access without accidentally pressing buttons. I primarily use these for deadlifts, pull-ups, and dead hangs. I’ve tried them for pull downs but can’t get as tight as I’d like so I tend to go back to my straps. I also wear them for some push movements as wrist wraps for the wrist stability and just don’t use the grip portion. I am at the lower end of the wrist size recommendation for fit. They are just tight enough on my wrists, however could see the smaller version they plan to make being a better option. I like my wraps comfortably snug. Also I noticed the wrap with the watch hole isn’t as structured or firm as the one without, but that’s probably to be expected as it’s less material. Overall I’m very please with the product. Still getting used to them, but am liking them more with each use.

I gave the new Protect Grips a try because I was tired of either having to push my smart watch further up my arm, which was uncomfortable, or removing it entirely. With these grips, I can keep my watch in place without compromising any support. The material holds the barbell extremely well. And, the wrist support is awesome! You can get these nice and tight on your wrist so that you are confident they will not move or come loose while lifting.

Work great and well made

These wrist wraps are a little more bulky than my old ones but they let me wear my watch. The grips are great for some lifting and pull-ups but get in the way for rowing, kb swings and floor work. You almost need another pair without the grips. So far my Apple Watch hasn’t called 911.
