Key Features and Specifications
Brand: Bear KompleX.
Material: 2.3mm single-layer advanced microfiber.
Design: 3-hole configuration for index, middle, and ring fingers.
Performance: Optimized for both slick and powder-coated bars; no chalk required.
Weather Resistance: Built to perform in various climates, including hot and humid conditions.
Wrist Support: Includes a reinforced layer on the wrist strap for enhanced comfort and stability.
Fit: Minimal stretch over time ensures a consistent fit and reliable support.
Performance Benefits
Universal Grip: The microfiber material is engineered to "stick" to multiple surfaces, including steel pull-up bars, powder-coated rigs, and gym rings, reducing the need for constant re-chalking.
Stabilization: The 3-hole structure not only protects the palm but also helps stabilize the wrist during high-repetition gymnastics movements like pull-ups, muscle-ups, and toes-to-bar.
Durability: Microfiber is naturally resistant to the typical wear and tear seen in functional fitness, providing a longer lifespan than many traditional leather alternatives.
Breathable Comfort: The single-layer design allows for better airflow, keeping hands cooler and reducing moisture buildup during long sessions.
Dowel Effect Compatibility: For athletes who prefer a "fold" or dowel over the bar, the material is pliable enough to accommodate this technique when sized up.
Sizing & Fit Guide
To find your correct size, measure from the wrist crease (where your hand and wrist meet) to the base of your middle finger. Keep your hand flat and straight.
| Size | Measurement |
|---|---|
| Small | 3.75” to 4.25” |
| Medium | 4.25” to 4.75” |
| Large | 4.75” to 5.25” |
| XL | Over 5.25” |
Note: If you prefer to fold the grip over the bar (dowel effect), go with the next size up.
Maintenance and Care
Cleaning: Gently hand wash with mild soap and cold water. Avoid harsh chemicals or bleach.
Drying: Air dry only. Do not place in a machine dryer or near direct heat sources, as this can degrade the synthetic fibers.
Hygiene: Between deep cleans, you can use a damp cloth to remove excess chalk and skin cells from the microfiber surface.
Strap Inspection: Periodically check the reinforced wrist strap and hook-and-loop closure to ensure the bond remains secure for high-intensity work.
Frequently Asked Questions
Q: Do I need to use chalk with these grips?
A: No. The Pinnacle material is designed to provide a high-friction "stick" even on smooth bars without chalk. However, they are fully compatible with chalk if you prefer a drier hand feel.
Q: Do they stretch like leather?
A: Unlike natural leather, the advanced microfiber used in the Pinnacle series has very minimal stretch, meaning the size you purchase will remain consistent throughout its use.
Q: Can I return them if I've used them once?
A: No. Rogue and Bear KompleX have a strict policy: once grips have been used or chalked, they cannot be returned. Be sure to check your fit and comfort at home before your first workout.
Q: Are these better than the "No Hole" version?
A: It depends on your preference. The 3-hole version provides more stability and the option for a dowel effect, while the No Hole Pinnacle Speed Grips allow for faster transitions between movements.
