What are and what are the Grips?

The Grips They are a hand protection accessory in the practice of Cross Training. They are used above all in performing exercises - mainly gymnastics - in which friction is intense, to prevent the appearance of calluses and wounds.

The Grips They cover the palm of the hand and hold on the wrist, adapting to each person, serving as support and protection. They are normally held in 2 or 3 fingers through holes, although they also exist Grips without holes. The objective in both models is the same, protecting the athlete's hands.
