What’s the difference between MAX Grips and Elite Gloves?
MAX Grips → Best for high volume bar work (pull-ups, toes-to-bar, muscle-ups)
→ Protect hands + improve grip without chalk. MAX PROTECTION.
Elite Gloves → Best for full workouts (lifting, machines, circuits). Thin and designed to feel like a second skin.

WHO ARE ROOGRIPS FOR?
RooGrips are built for anyone who trains hard and wants to protect their hands without sacrificing performance.
They’re perfect for:
Bar-heavy athletes (pull-ups, toes-to-bar, muscle-ups) → MAX Grips
All-round gym training (lifting, machines, circuits) → Elite Gloves
Anyone tired of ripped hands or bulky gear→ Lightweight, comfortable, and easy to use
👉 Whether you’re just starting or training at a high level, RooGrips help you train longer and more confidently.
Will these protect against rips and blisters?
Yes — RooGrips are designed to significantly reduce the risk of rips and blisters by protecting your hands and improving grip during training.
MAX Grips =MAX Protection
→ Create a protective layer between your skin and the bar
→ Reduce friction during high-rep movements (pull-ups, toes-to-bar, muscle-ups)
Elite Training Gloves
→ Provide full-hand coverage for lifting, machines, and general training
→ Help prevent hotspots and irritation during workouts
How long will my grips and gloves last?
RooGrips are built for performance and durability — but lifespan depends on your training volume and how you use them.
MAX Grips (Vegan Rubber)
→ Designed for high-volume bar work
→ Durable, high-performance material that holds up under heavy use
→ Built with our reinforced, unbreakable strap
👉 Many high-volume athletes get long-term use, even with regular training
→ Backed by a 6-month warranty against manufacturing faults
Elite Training Gloves (K-Leather)
→ Made from premium kangaroo leather, known for its strength and longevity
→ Designed for full workouts — lifting, machines, and general training
👉 With proper care, they can last a long time, even with frequent use
→ Backed by a 12-month warranty against manufacturing faults
⚠️ Care tip:
Store your gloves in the mesh bag provided to allow them to breathe.
(The mesh is lightweight for airflow, so avoid snagging it.)
Which Size do I choose and what if I’m in between sizes?
Measure your palm and check the size chart on each product page for guidance.
Vegan Rubber MAX Grips → These run a little larger. If you’re between sizes, we recommend sizing down for the best fit.
Elite Gloves - These gloves are designed to be snug-fitting. The premium kangaroo leather will soften and mould to your hands over time.
If you are between sizes, size up for comfort
👉 If you do end up with the wrong size, no stress — email us at support-us@roogrips.com and we’ll send you a prepaid return label to swap them over.
FINGERLESS VS 3 FINGER MAX GRIPS?
3-Finger MAX Grips
→ Can be worn with or without fingers in the holes
→ Option to create a dowel effect for double protection.
→ Best if you like a more secure, controlled feel
Fingerless MAX Grips
→ Fastest for transitions (bar → barbell, etc.)
→ No finger holes = quick on/off, no fuss, can twist them around the wrist in between sets.
→ Our most popular style by far
👉 If you’re unsure:
Start with fingerless for simplicity, or check out our Insta for more tips, tricks and info.
What gym bars are Roogrips best for?
MAX Grips (Vegan Rubber)
→ Designed to work on all bars
→ Perform best on non-coated steel or powder-coated bars
→ For chalk-heavy or coated bars, just wipe off excess chalk for the best grip
⚠️ Quick tip:
Make sure there’s no sticky residue from other grips left on the bar — this can affect grip and become a safety hazard
For the most GRIP, add some water to the grip, wipe off and then lock on.
Elite Gloves
→ Work across all bar types and equipment
→ Ideal for lifting, machines, and general gym training
Do I need to use chalk on my grips?
Vegan Rubber MAX Grips → No chalk required.
Wipe any chalk off the bars before use for max grip.
Elite Gloves - no chalk needed.
.
How do I care for and clean my grips?
Taking care of your grips is simple!
Vegan Rubber MAX Grips → Just wipe with a damp cloth — do not machine wash, as it can damage the rubber compound.
Elite Gloves - Wash in cool water using a mild, leather-safe soap. Gently clean, rinse thoroughly and air dry away from heat or direct sunlight.
Do not machine wash or tumble dry.
A little care after each session will extend the life of your grips and keep them feeling fresh.
K-Leather Info & how is it sourced?
Kangaroo Leather aka K-Leather is the most popular choice of global sporting brands looking for high performance technical leather with superior qualities.
We use Kangaroo leather because it boasts the following performance properties:
- High strength
- Light weight
- Durability
We are proud to source all of our kangaroo hides responsibly and ethically from an open range environment, following the national code of practice for the humane treatment of kangaroos.
Moreover, its long-lasting nature contributes to a more positive environmental impact as it minimizes the need for frequent grip replacements.
are the max grips latex free?
MAX Grips are made from a blend of natural rubber and synthetic rubber. Natural rubber contains trace amounts of latex, so these grips are not considered latex-free. If you have a severe latex allergy, we recommend our leather grips instead.
