Testimonial:
“The Kettle Guards are a big improvement over both the
simple wrist bands and wraps. They have a thin profile
but they offer a lot of support as they are reinforced with
flexible plastic strips that slide inside the wraps. I had no
discomfort issues either from the inserts or the weight of
the bells. I did my long cycle set and then I used them for
a strongman set of jerks and cleans with the 40kg bell at
the AKC booth. I also used them at home in similar sets
with 48 and 53kg bells. Once you get into those heavier
bells you clearly are placing more demand on the wrist
and additional support is welcome. These worked great.
They absorb sweat as well as anything else I have tried,
so the hands stay dry. That is important. Suffice it to say I
really like these.”

Testimonial:
"The KettleGuard wrist wraps are fantastic: they're simple and they actually work.
I've found the plastic inserts provide significantly more protection than using sweat
bands or other wrist wraps, but the design is such that the KettleGuard doesn't feel
bulky and certainly doesn't get in the way during training. In fact, the KettleGuard is
very comfortable and doesn't feel any different to training with ordinary sweat bands.
Being machine washable is also very important because I get pretty sweaty during
training! I'd recommend the KettleGuard to anyone who trains with kettlebells."

"KettleGuards are only wrist wraps that I wear! They provide
protection and sweat absorbency in one sleek design!"

I can't understand why anyone wouldn't want to use the Kettleguards. Even
with good technique with cleans and snatches, heavy bells apply constant
pressure on the forearms in the rack position. This can lead to trigger
points which weaken your grip and affect negatively your training.
I have tried different solutions and Kettleguards proved to be the best
one, because they never get in the way of training like bulkier pads do.
You honestly can't feel the difference between wearing regular sweatbands
or those. However, the thin inserts offer great protection. And because of
the clever design, it doesn't matter if the Kettleguards rotate, you're
covered from all angles.
