Tribus 0.5 - Comfort Grips

These are EXCELLENT!!! As an Anatomist and previous CPT, I recognize the importance of training certain smaller muscles that we dont normally think about while working out. Did you know, we have 8 muscles in the Anterior forearm and 12 muscles in the Posterior side? These grips specifically work my forearms muscles like CRAZY!!! These are high quality, thick grips and they’re perfectly small and durable enough for both male and female hands. Both my fiancé and I love these and it is so convenient to just pop into my gym bag. They’re pretty comfortable and they do not make my hands overly sweaty. Decent traction on the hand/grip side, that’s important so I dont get injured in the gym… overall, great value for this product, I absolutely love and recommend these.

These thick grips feel durable and fit well on the weights. They sit securely in place and add extra diameter to the grip, giving me another way to change things up during my workouts. I appreciate that they fit properly without feeling loose or awkward. The construction feels like it should hold up to regular use, and having multiple grip diameters gives some flexibility depending on the exercise and how much of a challenge I want for my grip. A straightforward, useful addition to a home gym.

The title confused me because it's called "thick grips" so I was surprised to see the one I ordered is quite thin. But that's my mistake as the description does say the correct measurements. The quality and durability seems good. It's a soft rubber that's easy to bend and pretty comfortable in my hand. It's also grippy as expected. But make sure you air it out for a couple days because it smells strongly of sharpie initially.While I was expecting thicker, I really only needed something to protect my hands from the sharp dumbbell texture. And this works well. I have another type that's tapered at the ends which is easier to hold in my opinion. But these being straight makes them more versatile for different applications. I think it's a little expensive at $15 for how thin it is, but it's made well.

I recently started working out again so now my hands are feeling the pain. I had forgotten that it takes time to build up strong calluses lol. These help alot with the grip specially if you're like me and are just getting started again or if you haven't worked on your grip enough, they are very easy to put on and take off to place on another piece of equipment from barbels to dumbbells to pull up bars it fits it all and does help tremendously. I also had no problem with it slipping or shifting from place to place . They are very good quality and feel very premium.

These grips are decent for comfort when they actually wrap around the dumbbell/barbell. That said, if you have a dumbbell or barbell of any real thickness then there is a considerable gap on these grips. The dumbbells seem to slide a little if you don't grab around the gap but if you do grab with the gap in your palm it can get uncomfortable. The material is a soft rubber but feels to be durable enough to stand up to many workouts. Overall These grips are OK but I probably wouldn't get another pair of these ones.
