"A scientific approach to hand protection

BarAides were created in 2011 when Louisa Mezache, an Affiliate Cup athlete, needed hand protection during her intense training sessions. She started by making them by hand for herself (the RX+ BarAides model) so she wouldn’t have to make a new set of grips every time she needed hand protection during a workout.

This unique and inventive method considered the following:

How to make a hand grip in a way that reduces the risk of tearing or ripping the grip?
How can the finger holes be designed to fit all finger sizes?
How can the finger holes be designed so the grip can be easily removed for couplet or triplet exercises where bare hands are the optimal approach?
Over time (5 years), one of Louisa’s training partners and friends suggested: “Offer them to everyone who does fitness; I think you’re really on the right track, and I believe we can improve and mass-produce them by making a few design changes.”

The training partner turned business partner incorporated an exclusive polymer core into the design to further reduce the risk of grip failure during a workout. Together, they also developed the "RX" model of BarAides. The main reason this model was developed was to create a hand protection product with the feel of a handmade grip but with the manufacturing scale to supply the widest audience.
