Alec Smith Grips
I love my new Alec Smith Grips! They stick to the bar really well so I rarely have to chalk mid-workout, and there was barely any break-in time. Also, the velcro strap around the wrist is much more comfortable than other grips I've used.

High Hopes
I have been on a search for the best do it all grips and had high hopes for these, but I would have returned them by now if it wasn’t for the restocking fee and having to pay return shipping. The wrist straps on these are made for gorillas. The hook portion of the Velcro needs to be longer. Only 1/4” of Velcro is fastened and I’m left with a tail of wrist strap flailing around and snagging clothes. The could be tight as well but the grips won’t allow it. I should have listened to the reviews I read because these are definitely slick. I only tried them on Speal bars and the grip is just not there, and I imagine that would only get worse on powder coated bars. For what these grip lack in overall functionality, they do make up for in comfort. They are the most comfortable grips out there. The wrist padding is fantastic and the grip material is supple. If you’re looking for a great do it all pair of grips, save yourself the trouble and skip these and opt for Victory or Bear Complex.

Great Grips for Textured Bars
After seeing a couple people in my CrossFit box with these grips, I asked their thoughts. The first comment that stuck with me is from someone who said "I rip with other grips and I do not rip with these". My daughter has had issues ripping, so I decided to get these for her as a birthday present and picked up a pair for myself as well. Alabama summers are hot and having two pair of grips during a workout is a plus! The pros: the grips work as advertised, no ripping or hot spots using these grips. I like the elastic piece that holds the grips when not in use and a special bonus for stitching into the grip which is left and which is right. I had a brain freeze during a workout last week and could not remember which grip went with which grip. Fortunately, it shows right on the back of the palm. The cons: there is a drop off when using non-textured bars. This is in other reviews and it is a real thing. My box has a mix of bars, so I am able to seek out a textured bar for my bar work. When pressed to work on a smooth bar, the grip is just not there and I am better off using my other grips or going barehanded. I still rate it a 5, because I have a philosophy on grips like I do with CrossFit shoes -- some models/styles work better than others, depending on the workout. This is a great option for textured bars and can handle my excessive sweat from Alabama summers.
