Overview
The Velites All-Terrain Hand Grips are engineered for athletes who require a versatile, high-performance solution across multiple training surfaces. Part of the Velites Quad line, these grips are specifically designed to function effectively without the need for chalk, though they remain compatible with bars that have chalk residue. With a slim 2.1mm profile, they offer a superior "tactile feel," making them ideal for athletes who want to maintain maximum control during complex gymnastics and transitions.

Performance Benefits
Multi-Surface Adaptability: These grips excel on a variety of implements, including smooth pull-up bars, rough bars, wooden rings, and kettlebells.
Ring Performance: Specifically favored for wooden rings; the design provides a balanced "grip and release" that prevents excessive "hooking" during muscle-ups and swings.
Reduced Fatigue: The Kevlar-reinforced construction acts similarly to a strap, distributing body weight more evenly and reducing forearm strain during high-volume sets.
Sweat Management: The included wristbands are designed to be worn under the grips to absorb sweat and prevent the Velcro straps from causing skin irritation.
Maintenance and Care
Washing: For optimal longevity, hand wash in cold water with mild soap. Alternatively, machine wash for 10–15 minutes in cold water only while inside the provided mesh bag.
Drying: Always air dry the grips. Avoid all direct heat sources (radiators, dryers, or direct sunlight), as high heat can damage the Kevlar fibers and degrade the Velcro's adhesive strength.
Storage: Store in the included breathable mesh bag to allow airflow and prevent the buildup of odors between sessions.
Safety Note: These grips are not recommended for pullovers due to the specific grip-to-surface ratio of the all-terrain material.
Warranty Information
Velites offers a one (1) year warranty on these hand grips, covering manufacturing defects in materials and craftsmanship. Additionally, Rogue Fitness typically provides a 90-day warranty on "Grips" and a 3-year warranty on "Sew Items" for defects. The warranty does not cover normal wear and tear, or damage caused by improper maintenance (e.g., heat drying).
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to use chalk with the All-Terrain grips?
A: No, these are designed to be used without applying chalk to the grip itself. However, they will still perform effectively if used on a bar that has existing chalk residue from previous users.
Q: Should I choose the 2.1mm or the 2.9mm version?
A: The 2.1mm (All-Terrain) version is designed for athletes who prefer more "feel" and control. If you prioritize maximum palm protection for extreme high-volume sets, the thicker 2.9mm (Quad Ultra) version may be preferred.
Q: How should I choose my size if I am between measurements?
A: The practical rule for Velites grips is that if you fall between two sizes, it is generally recommended to choose the larger size for better coverage.
Q: Are these grips suitable for competition?
A: Yes, they are highly versatile and are a common choice for competitive athletes who frequently encounter different bar textures in different "boxes" or competition venues.
