Bear KompleX Carbon Grips

No, the carbon material is specifically engineered to adhere to bars without the need for chalk. It provides a consistent, tacky grip on its own, even on powder-coated or slick bars.

The 3-hole version offers more palm coverage and protection, which is ideal if you have larger hands or prefer a more secure feel during high-volume gymnastics work. The 2-hole version provides slightly more freedom of movement and is often preferred by athletes who want less material between their fingers.

The strap is designed with comfort in mind, featuring a secure hook-and-loop closure that minimizes irritation. While it provides firm support, the padding is positioned to prevent the digging sensation often found in thinner, less structured grips.

Yes, they are versatile enough for both. The carbon material provides the stability needed for heavy deadlifts, while the palm protection and grip enhancement are specifically optimized for high-intensity bar work like pull-ups and toes-to-bar.

We recommend wiping them down with a damp cloth after sweaty sessions to remove excess moisture and debris. Avoid machine washing or submerging them in water, as this can degrade the material and the stitching over time.
