What the Catalog Does Not Cover

The Bear Grips catalog focuses on apparel and headwear. The catalog does not cover hard equipment (kettlebells, barbells, dumbbells, racks), grip supplies (chalk, gloves, wrist wraps), nutrition supplements, or recovery tools (foam rollers, massage guns).

For gyms or members looking for those categories, traditional fitness equipment vendors handle them. Bear Grips covers the apparel and headwear layer that surrounds the equipment.
