Which Grip Types Do We Manufacture?
Palm pads joined to a wrist strap that cover the hand during pulls and presses. See our weightlifting grips.
Finger-hole grips that protect the palm on pull-ups, toes-to-bar and rings. View our CrossFit grips.
Palm Protectors
Fingerless pads that cover the calloused area of the palm while leaving the fingers completely free.
Rubber Grip Pads
Loose rubber or neoprene pads that sit between hand and handle for quick use on machines.
Dowel and competition hand grips for gymnasts sit in our gymnastics grips category.
Which Grip Materials and Builds Can You Choose?
On the Oath and Oak production floor, grip material decides bar feel, durability and how the grip behaves with chalk, so it is the first decision in every brief.
| Material | Behavior | What to Specify |
|---|---|---|
| Leather | Soft bar feel, stretches slightly with use | Leather thickness and finish |
| Synthetic or carbon-style material | Very durable, holds its shape on slick bars | Surface texture |
| Rubber and neoprene | Cushioned and grippy on handles | Pad thickness |
| Microfiber backing | Comfortable against the skin | Backing color |
| Wrist strap | Hook-and-loop or buckle closure | Strap width |
Finger holes and the strap join carry the most force, so both are reinforced to stop stretching and tearing.
Which Specifications Can You Set for Your Grips?
| Specification | Options We Produce |
|---|---|
| Finger holes | No holes, two holes or three holes |
| Sizes | XS to XL |
| Thickness | Thin for bar feel or thicker for durability |
| Strap | Narrow or wide hook-and-loop, or a buckle |
| Surface | Smooth, suede-textured or chalk-free grip |
| Colors | Solid, two-tone or printed |
Grip shapes and sizes outside this table are cut from your own template during sampling.
How Can You Brand Custom Gym Grips?
Grips leave room for a logo on the palm pad and the strap, and the method depends on the material. Every option is on our customization page.
| Branding Element | Methods |
|---|---|
| Leather pad | Embossing, debossing or laser engraving |
| Synthetic pad | Printed logo or full-color artwork |
| Strap | Woven label, embroidery or printed logo |
| Colors | Pantone-matched pad and strap |
| Packaging | Paired pouch, header card or retail box with barcodes |
Should You Order Private Label, OEM or Wholesale Grips?

How Are Your Grips Made From Brief to Delivery?
1. Brief and Template
Share the grip type, material, finger holes, sizes and colors with a quantity estimate, and we prepare the grip specification.
2. Sampling and Fit
Sample pairs in key sizes let you test fit, bar feel and strap hold, with and without chalk on the bar.
3. Cutting and Finishing
Pads are die cut by size, finger holes are reinforced, and straps are sewn or riveted on before the checks.
4. Pairing and Shipping
Grips are paired by size, packed with your labels and barcodes, and sent to you by air or sea freight.
New grip shapes are developed through our product development and sampling process.
What Do We Check Before Your Grips Ship?
Each lot is measured against the approved pair as part of our quality control process, covering:
- Pad length and finger-hole position per size
- Hole reinforcement and edge finish
- Strap stitching and closure strength
- Surface texture and logo placement
- Pairing and size labels
What Affects MOQ and Lead Time for Grip Orders?
MOQ and timing are confirmed in your quote once the grip is fully specified.
| Factor | How It Affects Your Order |
|---|---|
| Material | Leather and synthetic pads use different cutting and finishing |
| Size run | Each size needs its own cutting die |
| Colors | Each colorway adds a separate material lot |
| Branding | Embossing dies and printed artwork add setup |
Include sizes, colors and your target date in the request so the quote covers the full order.
Grips or Gloves: Which Should Your Range Lead With?
Both protect the hands, but grips cover only the high-contact areas of the palm.
| Feature | Grips | Gloves |
|---|---|---|
| Coverage | Palm only | Palm, back and fingers |
| Bar feel | Closer, with bare fingers | Reduced by added material |
| Typical use | Pull-ups, gymnastics moves and high-rep work | General lifting and machines |
| Putting on | Quick | Slower with straps |
| Customer | CrossFit and functional athletes | General gym customers |
Functional brands often lead with gym lifting grips, while general gym brands usually lead with gloves.

How are grips sized?
Most brands measure from the wrist crease to the base of the middle finger. Charts differ between 2-hole and 3-hole designs, so each model gets its own size chart.
Should we choose 2-hole or 3-hole grips?
Three-hole grips cover more of the palm where calluses form and tear, while 2-hole grips feel lighter. Many CrossFit brands stock both to suit different athletes.
Do leather grips stretch?
Yes, slightly with use, which is why customers between sizes often choose the smaller leather size. Carbon-style synthetic grips do not stretch, so their sizing must be right from the start.
Can grips be used with chalk?
Yes. Leather and suede-textured grips work well with chalk, though heavy chalk can make some leather slippery over time. Chalk-free synthetic surfaces suit customers who avoid it.
What are gym wrist grips?
It is a common search term for palm grips with an attached wrist strap, the palm-pad style with a wrist strap described above. The strap keeps the pad in place and can add light wrist support.
Can grips be returned after use?
Many brands do not accept used grips back once chalked, so a clear size chart and measuring guide before purchase protect both you and your customer.
