Frequently Asked Questions
Which bar thicknesses does it fit?
Standard 25mm and Olympic 28–32mm bars, plus most dumbbell handles — and thanks to its flexible fit, most similarly sized bars and handles too.
Does it help with sweaty hands?
Yes — the non-porous shell keeps its grip even when your hands are sweating.
Is it hygienic?
The shell is non-porous, so it doesn't soak up sweat the way fabric gloves do — it wipes clean in seconds with a gym wipe or a little soapy water. More on gym grip hygiene →
How much weight can it hold?
GripShell is designed for standard gym loads across dumbbells, barbells and machines. It reinforces your existing grip rather than replacing hand strength.

How do I fit it?
It clips onto the handle in seconds — no tools needed. A quick-fit guide is included in the box.
Will it fit smaller hands?
Yes — the shell is designed to work across a range of hand sizes without adding bulk.
