Race-tested · HYROX Salt Lake City
“I forgot I had it on, and the improvement on the carries was insane. The rope pull was also much improved.”
The gap
Watch any HYROX race and you'll see it: the best athletes in the world racing in garage and garden gloves. The few gloves aimed at this sport are padded for comfort, not engineered for grip. Soaked hands slip on the sled and the rope. Grip fades on the carries. Lose your grip and you lose time. We're fixing that.
Not an exaggeration. In February 2026, Men’s Journal ran a piece recommending six-dollar hardware-store gardening gloves as the fix for grip on the farmers carry. That’s the bar.
The Stonegrip Glove
The mesh back is sheer enough to see your own hand through it.
Stick, not squeeze
The silicone palm has unparalleled stiction to the handle, so you hold on without squeezing. Less grip effort on every carry, pull, catch and bag, and the effort you don’t spend is time and energy you keep for the rest of the race.
The stickiest grip we’ve tested.
We tested it against every HYROX glove we could buy. Nothing came close, and it holds when your hands are sweating. The rope, the carries, the erg handles, the bag. Wall balls catch like a football in receiver gloves.
Air through the back and the palm.
A stretch mesh back you can see straight through, and a perforated palm, so air gets in from both sides. It keeps your hands cool between stations, moves with you, and stays exactly where you put it.
Locks the glove to your hand.
A wide adjustable wrist strap that locks the glove to your hand. Ease off your grip and it holds the load instead of shifting.

Straight answers
You will hear every one of these in a race chat. They are fair questions, and every one of them has a straight answer.
“I don't have a grip problem.”
Most people don't lose their grip. They lose time squeezing harder to keep it. When the rope is wet you clamp down to compensate, your forearms burn, and you pay for it three stations later on the farmers carry. That's a grip problem wearing a disguise.
Why your forearms fail in HYROX →“Gloves make my hands too hot.”
Most do. They're padded, lined, and built for outdoor protection you don't need on an indoor floor. Ours is a mesh back you can see daylight through and a single-layer, perforated palm. No padding and no lining, so there is nothing to trap heat.
Best gloves for HYROX →“I want to race minimal.”
So do we. That's the entire design brief. No padding, no reinforcement panels, no bulk, nothing added that doesn't earn its place. It comes in at only 24 grams a glove in size L. They disappear on your hands and just do their job.
Do you need gloves for HYROX? →“I'll lose feel on the rope.”
That is exactly why the palm is one thin layer with no padding anywhere in it. You should feel the rope, not the glove. Anything thick enough to protect you is thick enough to blind you.
How to stop tearing your hands →“Aren't gloves against the rules?”
No. Gloves are on the HYROX rulebook’s list of permitted kit, for every station. Chalk is the grip aid HYROX restricts, not gloves. Chalk is allowed on the sled pull and the farmers carry, it has to be the chalk the event provides, and using it at any other station costs you two minutes. The glove is legal at every station on the floor.
Are gloves allowed in HYROX? →“Chalk is free.”
Chalk works when you're dry. It does nothing once you're soaked, nothing for rope burn, and HYROX only allows it at two stations. It wears off halfway through, and chalking up mid-race costs you time you can't get back.
