Performance Benefits
Friction Protection: Completely shields the forearms, skin, and tattoos from the severe scrapes and strap burn characteristic of intense ring training.
Increased Volume: By eliminating the pain of strap abrasions, athletes can perform more consecutive reps of ring dips and muscle-ups without distraction or premature skin fatigue.
Stays in Place: The intelligent anchor strip ensures the guard remains locked against the top of the ring, so it won't slide up the strap during dynamic swinging movements.
Lightweight and Portable: Easily unhooks to pack flat in any gym bag, making them a convenient accessory for athletes who travel or use public gym equipment.
Maintenance and Care
Cleaning: Neoprene can absorb sweat over time. Hand wash the guards with a mild detergent and cold water to prevent odors and bacterial buildup.
Drying: Air dry flat or hang them in a well-ventilated area out of direct sunlight. Do not machine dry, as high heat can degrade the neoprene and the hook-and-loop fasteners.
Fastener Care: Keep the hook-and-loop closures free of chalk dust, lint, and loose threads to ensure a secure hold over the lifespan of the product.
