GYMNOS sits in a feedback loop of constant improvement. We work with gymnasts - just like you - to craft products that ensure you hit peak performance. It’s all a part of our legacy.

We believe that all gymnasts deserve the best. Which is why we have created the world’s first vegan handguard range; high quality products crafted from the toughest material with all the same properties of leather.

Our Vegan Uneven Bars Handguards are made from environmentally friendly material that boasts all the strength and flexibility of our leather; they give you an Olympic-standard grip every time you step on the mat. We’ve designed them alongside the elite vegan athlete Olessya Dadema - that’s why we’ve decided to call these the OLYESSA handguards.

We’ve also added a new contour shape form; a unique addition exclusively from the GYMNOS brand. The curve allows for heightened dexterity around the fingers and a more comfortable fit for the fingers, ensuring a stronger grip that you can maintain for longer. To take this a step further, we’ve included the choice of a durable double buckle or flexible velcro strap, keeping them securely on your wrist so you can spend more time on the bar. 

The fit moulds to you. Because when you’re putting your heart and soul into your craft, you need to feel totally comfortable and supported. 

It’s what we’re here for. To join you on your gymnastics journey. To help you perfect every movement.
