Predator Grips Pink - 3 Holes

The eternal question! The reality is that it is a matter of tastes and preferences 100%. Deciding which of the two options is more comfortable depends 100% on you. In most cases, the protection of a two-hole model will suffice. But maybe you like that extra material of the three hole grips that in our opinion provides a little more homogeneity to the grip feeling. Neither option is going to dramatically change your training, so don't worry too much. Test over time until you reach your perfect grips. Some tips that can help you make this decision:

• If your hands are wide, it is possible that the two-finger grips do not offer you enough protection surface and leave some calluses exposed. On the contrary, in hands with a narrow silhouette, the use of two-finger grips may be more advisable.
• If the grip of your pull-ups/chin-ups on the bar is wide (the separation between hand and hand when hanging), the use of three-hole grips may also be more advisable, due to the areas of the hand that come into contact with the bar in this type of grip.
• If you weigh a lot, the three-hole grips may be more recommended, since the pressure on the bar will be greater, and the friction as well. The fact that the surface on which you slide is more homogeneous will improve your kipping and reduce the chances of getting those dreaded calluses.

After making the choice of grip based on thickness and materials based on our needs, we must ask ourselves some questions before choosing the size:Do I only want to protect the palm of the hand, or also the fingers? Do I intend to do the “gymnastic fold”?

We recommend that you always estimate upwards, tending to a higher size in case of doubt between two. To measure your hand and be able to choose yours, follow these steps:

• Get a ruler or measuring tape.
• Measure in centimeters or inches the distance between the end of your wrist/base of hand and the base of your fingers.

You will notice that with use there comes a time when it is convenient to wash your grips. It is inevitable that in a high intensity sport like Crossfit, we sweat and the grips and any type of equipment end up smelling. At this point you can follow these tips:

1. It is not recommended that you use a washing machine, although it is possible. The matrix fabrics of the Earwaves grips will withstand washing, but you can damage the velcro closure.
2. Wash them in cold water with mild soap and let them rest for a few minutes, a time of 10 would be enough.
3. At the time of drying, let them air dry, it is not convenient to use a dryer.

Apart from washing your Earwaves grips from time to time, there are a series of tricks that can work for you to preserve them better or increase comfort:

1. You can use moisturizing cream in the area of ​​the holes in case this area is somewhat rough when you wear them, it scratches you, or you simply prefer a greater level of softness.
2. There are antibacterial sprays that you can use weekly apart from washing them.
3. It is convenient that after training you do not keep them in a completely closed space, such as the typical pocket of your sports bag.
