Overview
The Bear KompleX Black Diamond No Hole Speed Grips are high-performance, fingerless gymnastics grips designed for maximum tackiness and rapid transitions. Utilizing the same patented synthetic material as the original Black Diamond line, these "Speed Grips" provide a superior sticky hold on both slick and powder-coated bars without the need for chalk. The no-hole design is ideal for athletes who prefer to quickly flip the grips on or off their palms during multi-movement workouts, ensuring continuous hand protection without the restriction of finger holes.

Performance Benefits
Superior Adhesion: The "Black Diamond" synthetic material provides a massive amount of friction, helping athletes stay on the bar longer during high-volume pull-ups, toes-to-bar, and muscle-ups.
Efficient Transitions: The fingerless design allows athletes to move from the pull-up bar to the barbell or floor movements instantly by simply flapping the grips back, with no need to fumble with finger holes.
Palm Protection: Substantial coverage shields the palms from the friction that causes rips, callouses, and skin tears.
Wrist Stability: The adjustable strap and neoprene padding help stabilize the wrist joint under load while preventing the strap from digging into the skin.
Maintenance and Care
Sizing Check: Ensure the grips are the correct size before use. Once they touch a bar or are used in a workout, they cannot be returned.
Cleaning: Gently wipe the synthetic surface with a damp cloth to remove any accumulated sweat, dirt, or accidental chalk.
Drying: Always air dry. Avoid machine drying or placing near high heat sources, as this can degrade the synthetic "Black Diamond" material and the neoprene padding.
Storage: Store in a well-ventilated area. Do not leave them crumpled at the bottom of a damp gym bag, as this can lead to odor buildup.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to use chalk with these grips? A: No. These grips are specifically designed to be used without chalk. The patented material provides its own "stick." In fact, users often find that adding chalk makes the grips less effective.
Q: How do I measure for the no-hole version? A: Measure from the crease of your wrist to the base of your middle finger. If you are between sizes, Bear KompleX recommends sizing down to the next size for this specific no-hole model.
Q: Are these better than the 3-hole version? A: It depends on preference. The 3-hole version offers more security for those who want their fingers locked in. The "Speed" (no-hole) version is better for athletes who prioritize fast transitions between different pieces of equipment.
Q: Will these work on wooden rings? A: Yes, the Black Diamond material is highly versatile and provides excellent tack on wooden rings as well as various metal bar finishes.
