TWL - STICKY GRIPS PRO - BLACKOUT

The stickiest grips in Australia. No chalk. No excuses. No dropping off the bar.

You know the feeling — mid-WOD, bar is sweaty, chalk bucket is on the other side of the gym, and your hands are the only thing standing between you and your next rep. The TWL Sticky Grips Pro were built to make that problem disappear permanently. Chalk-free grip performance on any bar, any surface, any environment — from your home rig to a competition floor.

The Blackout colourway is TWL's all-black limited edition — the same Pro-grade HypaLar™ construction, zero compromise on performance, built for athletes who want their gear as clean as their technique.

THE HYPALAR™ DIFFERENCE — THREE LAYERS, ONE MISSION:

Every TWL Sticky Grip Pro is built from HypaLar™ — TWL's proprietary material developed in-house, combining three performance layers into a single 2.4mm grip face. That's the same total thickness as the best grips on the market, engineered to deliver maximum bar feel without sacrificing hand protection:

• Layer 1 — Hypalon outer surface: The grip layer. Hypalon is a synthetic rubber compound with exceptional tackiness on steel, powder-coated, and stainless bars — no chalk activation required. The more you sweat, the better it holds.
• Layer 2 — Kevlar reinforcement: The durability layer. Kevlar is the same material used in protective gear — it prevents the grip face from tearing or delaminating under repeated high-load bar contact. This is why TWL offers a 6-month warranty on the Pro.
• Layer 3 — Microfibre backing: The comfort layer. Soft microfibre sits against your palm, wicking sweat and preventing the internal slipping that ruins grip control during long sets.

The result: a grip face that locks onto the bar, protects your hands, and doesn't let go — set after set, session after session.

ENGINEERED FOR EVERY BAR MOVEMENT:

The TWL Sticky Grips Pro are designed with a wider palm coverage and ideal thickness — thick enough to land exactly where you want them when you jump to the bar, not so thick they flop or bunch. Whether you're stringing pull-ups in a Fran, cycling toes-to-bar in a long chipper, or grinding through muscle-ups in a competition WOD, these grips give you the contact and control to stay on the bar longer.

• Pull-ups & chin-ups — high-rep endurance without tearing
• Toes-to-bar — consistent bar contact through fatigue
• Bar muscle-ups — smooth transition from pull to push without slipping
• Ring muscle-ups — Hypalon tackiness works on wooden & metal rings
• Chest-to-bar pull-ups — wider coverage protects the palm at full extension
• Dead hangs & hang power cleans — reliable contact under load

THE WRIST SYSTEM — SECURE, SUPPORTIVE, FAST:

The Sticky Grips Pro wrist system is built around a 1.5-inch wide leather wrist strap with a precision-cut strap hole for a clean, customised fit — and a metal strap loop that won't crack, bend, or fail under load (unlike plastic alternatives). The thick neoprene wrist pad sits softly between the strap and your skin, eliminating the pressure points and rub marks that ruin long training sessions.

The pull-tab design lets you get in and out of the grips fast — no fumbling between movements, no time wasted on transitions.

WHAT'S IN THE BOX:

Unlike competitors who charge extra for accessories, the TWL Sticky Grips Pro Blackout comes complete:

• 1x TWL Sticky Grips Pro – Blackout (Pair)
• 1x TWL Knitted Wrist Wraps — additional wrist support & comfort during heavy sessions
• 1x TWL Microfibre Towel — wipe down your bar before sets for maximum Hypalon contact
• 1x Ventilated storage bag — keeps grips dry, aired out, and ready for next session

SIZING — TWO SIZES, SIMPLE SYSTEM:

TWL Sticky Grips Pro come in just two sizes — Small and Large — making sizing straightforward. Measure from the base of your palm to the tip of your middle finger:

• Small: Up to 19cm palm length
• Large: 19cm and above

When between sizes, go larger — a slightly larger grip is always preferable to one that's too small and restricts movement

CHALK-FREE — HOW IT WORKS:

Hypalon's grip mechanism is activated by contact and moisture — which means a clean, smooth bar actually grips better than a chalked one with these grips. Before your session, use the included microfibre towel to wipe the bar clean. No chalk dust, no white hands, no mess. In competitions where teammates use chalk, wipe your section of the bar down — it takes 15 seconds and makes a significant difference to grip performance.

⚠️ SAFETY — PLEASE READ BEFORE USING:

TWL Sticky Grips Pro have extreme tack. Grip lock can occur if the grip wraps excessively around the bar and becomes stuck during a movement. Before using in a workout or competition, test carefully in a controlled environment. Ensure correct sizing, fit the wrist strap securely, and always know how to open your hand and release during movements. Always inspect for wear before each session. If in doubt, contact the TWL team before use.
