Versa Gripps Authentic Training Accessory Reviews Summary

Durability

Pros:

• "One pair of these last me over 5 years."
• "This is my second pair of Versa grips. My first pair lasted for years."
• "I still have these and am still using them 6 days a week at similar weights."
• "With the exception of my first pair, which finally cracked after 15 years, my other 4 have remained in all my cars/households during my entire fitness journey."
• "I know people who have had their pair for well over 4 years."
• "I’ve now had these for 5 years and I think I can probably get another year out of them."

Cons:

• "Something changed in their materials where these dont last nearly as long as they used to."
• "The Velcro is wearing out, the leather is cracked and worn in the palm area, and the pads smell really bad even after washing them."
• "In seven or eight months you start seeing holes or torn stitches."
• "The price went up and quality went down."
• "This time I noticed that the quality has gone down hill. Both The straps are 50 percent thinner."

• "Terrible quality for the price."

Comfort and Fit

Pros:

• "These grips improve my workouts my eliminating grip fatigue."
• "The fit for me is great."
• "They are very comfortable, very easy to use."
• "Fit comfortably without any pinching or chafing."
• "They are extremely comfortable and way better than your regular lifting gloves."
• "These are comfortable, easy to put on & take off and give a lot of support and grip strength."
• "Measure your wrist well because I started off with a small and then exchanged with a friend for the xs to have no extra material beyond the velcro - fit perfectly."

Cons:

• "Uncomfortable as hell."
• "When doing deadlifts with these, I could feel the edge of the padding cutting into the thumb side of my wrist, which left an area of red."
• "The hard plastic does not conform to your hands at all, and can start to dig into your wrists after a while."
• "They aren't as comfortable as they could be. The natural inclination is to tighten the straps...don't."
• "When you’re using them, they dig really bad into your wrist."
• "The only thing is that I think the grip material may have some latex in it because I got a reaction to wearing them the first time."
• "The biggest disappointment for me is the smell - because it is indicative of toxic substances being used in the materials of the strap."

Value for Money

Pros:

• "A worth while investment for any lifter and a piece of equipment that I would consider essential, like a squat belt."
• "Well built, sturdy and worth the money if you want a quality product that enhances your workouts and saves your hands!"
• "These straps are made with the highest quality materials and are built to last."
• "5 years for $70 is a pretty fantastic product."
• "The grips are worth every penny."
• "These Versa Grips are worth every penny and have made a huge difference in my workouts."
• "Best lifting straps I have ever owned and worth every dime."

Cons:

• "It's too slippery and too short to even wrap around any bar."
• "I understand prices go up throughout the years but to ask for an additional 15 dollars for the pouch that was included with my original purchase to protect the product is very off-putting."
• "Nothing in the design or workmanship worth the premium cost."
• "This is not a value product, just shy of double the cost of its competitor."
• "Given the draw backs I find the product way too overpriced."
• "Overall, I would not buy these grips again at the same price...just south of twice the competition. Grossly overpriced."
• "Will not buy products from them in the future."
