Overview
JerkFit Fly Grips are a lightweight, performance-driven hand protection solution designed by a former professional gymnast. These grips feature an ultra-soft proprietary material that provides a consistent, "next-level" stick on the bar without the need for a lengthy break-in period. Their unique 2-finger design is engineered to cover the entire palm while leaving the index and pinky fingers free, offering a balance of full-palm protection and maximum hand mobility for CrossFit, Olympic lifting, and gymnastics.

Performance Benefits
Immediate Utility: Unlike traditional leather grips, the vegan material is soft and pliable from the first use, requiring zero "breaking in."
Enhanced Mobility: By leaving the index and pinky fingers free, athletes maintain better dexterity for technical movements and barbell transitions.
Consistent Stick: The material is designed to provide a reliable grip on both smooth and powder-coated bars, helping to prevent the "slipping" sensation during high-volume kipping movements.
Advanced Protection: Engineered to reduce and prevent painful rips, blisters, and abrasions that can halt training momentum.
Versatile Use: Optimized for a wide range of exercises including pull-ups, muscle-ups, kettlebell swings, snatches, deadlifts, and bench presses.
Maintenance and Care
Cleaning: Hand wash with cold water and a mild detergent. Avoid machine washing or using high-heat cycles, as these can damage the proprietary vegan fibers and the velcro strap.
Drying: Air dry only. To prevent odor buildup, ensure the grips are completely dry before placing them back in your gym bag.
Inspection: Regularly check the connection between the grip material and the wrist strap for any signs of tearing or fraying, particularly after high-volume gymnastics sessions.
Chalk Usage: While the material provides natural stick, it is compatible with gym chalk if you prefer a drier feel in high-humidity environments.
Sizing & Fit Guide
To find your size, measure your hand from the base of your palm (wrist crease) to the base of your middle finger.
Small: 3.5" – 4"
Medium: 4" – 4.5"
Large: 4.5" – 5"
XL: 5" +
Note: If you are on the border between sizes, most athletes prefer to size up for more palm coverage.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Are these better than leather grips? A: They are a different experience. Leather is traditional and molds to your hand over time, while Fly Grips are thinner, lighter, and ready for max performance on day one.
Q: Can I use these on a "slick" bar? A: Yes. The proprietary material is specifically designed to provide a consistent "bite" on smooth or painted pull-up bars where leather might feel too slippery.
Q: Do they stretch? A: Unlike leather, the vegan material used in Fly Grips has minimal stretch, meaning the size you buy is the size they will stay throughout their lifespan.
Q: Can I return them if I don't like the feel? A: No. Like most gymnastics grips, Rogue and JerkFit do not allow returns once the product has been used or chalked. Ensure the fit is correct before your first workout.
