You need them! With GladiatorFit hand protectors, you can maximize your gymnastic movements. These hand guards feature a durable nylon strap and a Velcro closure for durability, comfort, and aesthetics. Traditional training gloves do not provide the same feel as protectors for CrossFit, gymnastics, or strength workouts. Your hands will be protected during exercises while maintaining freedom of movement. You won’t slip on the bars anymore, and you can enjoy that feeling of freedom in your wrists. It is also possible to use chalk with the GladiatorFit hand protectors.
