Our take
Wrist wraps steady the joint on presses, cleans and squats. Fitgriff's are among the best sellers in the category: they tighten with a hook-and-loop strap and fit in any bag.
They go well with Fitgriff lifting straps on strength days, or with a Fitgriff leather weightlifting belt for a coherent lifting kit. They do not replace technique: a wrist that folds too much needs mobility work first.
What we like
- + Stabilises the wrist under load
- + Widely praised by lifters
- + Compact and light
What to know
- - Tightness needs adjusting each set
- - Does not fix a mobility limit
