One Size Does Not Fit All
How do I determine the correct size for my wrist?
To determine the correct size of Versa Gripps that you need, please wrap the tape measure all the way around your wrist (directly over your wrist bone). The size of Versa Gripps is not determined by your hand size but your wrist circumference. Versa Gripps are designed to fit securely (not too tightly) around the base of the weightlifters hand. When worn with a proper fit, the user is able to easily rotate them around to the back of their hand when they are not in use. They are not designed to fit tightly around the wrist while doing a pulling exercise. Versa Gripps will not damage the hands or wrists by over-tightening the way that a strap would. They will not restrict blood flow, movement, nor will they damage nerves.

It is very important to order the correct size in the style you desire. To do so, take a measurement of the circumference of the bony part of your wrist. Then, go to the style you are interested in and scroll down to the measuring chart. Your wrist size will match up with the correct size you should be wearing. Remember, Versa Gripps are NOT designed to fit tightly around your wrist. They should be secure but in the case of pulling exercises, they should actually be loose enough to land at the base of your hand. When worn correctly, the pressure is not on your wrist but is actually evenly distributed across the base of your hand.

Sizing FAQ's
Does one size fit all?
No. The sizes are based on your wrist circumference. The only difference in the sizes is the length of the strap around your wrist. If you order a size that is too big, then the wrist strap will be too long and the hook & loop will not adequately align.

Versa Gripps are ergonomically designed to fit snug, but not tight around your wrists. When properly fit, the use is able to easily turn them to the back of their hand when they are not being used.

How far up on my extended hand should the top of the grip extend?
After putting on the Versa Grip, hold your palm up facing you. The top of the gripping portion should land just above the first knuckle of your index and middle finger, from the base of your fingers. If you want it to be longer, simply loosen the wrist strap slightly and slide the end of the gripping portion toward the tips of your fingers.
Which STYLE of Versa Gripps should I buy?
This depends upon how you workout, your personal preferences, and your wrist circumference and hand size.
