RockTape Talons Hand Gloves
This legacy Talons listing describes training gloves with palm coverage and a reinforced thumb. Compare the coverage, fit and feel for your equipment and movements. A glove adds a layer between the skin and the implement; it does not guarantee prevention of hand tears or callus rips.
The listed features include touch-screen-compatible fingertips and a synthetic palm designed for use with chalk. Check the exact version’s materials and fit with the seller. Grip feel varies with the implement, chalk, glove wear and the wearer.
Palm and Thumb Coverage
The legacy listing describes reinforcement at the thumb for hook grip and vented finger side walls. Confirm that the glove fits without bunching or interfering with your hold. Neither coverage nor ventilation establishes a secure grip on every implement.
Chalk-Compatible
The listed synthetic palm and silicone grip detail are designed for use with chalk. Check the exact product instructions for chalk use and cleaning; extra chalk does not by itself establish a secure hold.
Microfiber Sweat Wipe
The thumbs have a microfiber patch for wiping sweat. Check the bar and your grip before lifting; a sweat-wipe patch does not guarantee dry equipment or a secure hold.
Touch Screen Friendly
The historical listing describes touchscreen-compatible fingertips. Check operation with your own device and the exact glove version; this is not a guarantee for every screen or glove condition.
Features:
- Touch Screen friendly
- Seamless palm construction
- False-grip silicon ribs to help with Muscle Ups
- Hook grip thumb protection
- Sweat wipe
- Vented finger side walls
- Para-cord pull strap
- Works with Chalk
Gloves, palm grips or thumb tape?
-
Talons gloves: add finger, palm and reinforced-thumb coverage as described in this listing. Check finger length, seam placement and whether the glove bunches while closing your hand around the intended implement.
-
Palm grips: compare the palm area and attachment style if finger coverage is not your priority. Our WODies reference describes a different three-finger palm-and-wrist-wrap design; it is not a full-finger Talons replacement or proof of the same bar feel.
-
Thumb tape: covers a different area and does not replace glove palm or finger coverage. Choose by the movement and coverage needed.
Before ordering, confirm whether the package contains a pair, the exact size/version, care directions and seller terms. Fit and hold should be checked on the implement before loading; added material changes the feel and effective grip diameter.
Sizing Chart:
RockTape Australia instructs users to measure around the hand just below the knuckles, excluding the thumb. Its published chart uses overlapping “and under” limits and lists Large at23 cm and under but XL at25.5 cm and over, leaving the range between23 and25.5 cm unclear. Do not fill that gap by guessing. Ask the seller which chart and size applies to your exact glove version. See the manufacturer’s Talons reference and measurement method.
Grip feel varies with the implement’s diameter and finish, chalk, glove fit and wear. Check the glove and your hold before loading it. Follow the exact-version manufacturer instructions.
Before your next equipment purchase: Compare grip coverage and bar compatibility.
