KUMAY Paw Grips ProTex™

Engineered for Smarter Lifting.

The ProTex™ is more than a lifting grip.

It's a grip system engineered around biomechanics, grip geometry, and real-world training performance.

Rather than simply increasing friction, ProTex™ combines optimized grip length, Ridge Texture™, and pre-tension design to improve stability, wrapping efficiency, and control during every pull.

Whether you're deadlifting, rowing, or performing pull-ups, ProTex™ helps reduce grip fatigue so you can focus on the muscles you're actually training.

KUMAY Technologies

Ridge Texture™

Directional Grip Technology

Unlike traditional flat rubber surfaces, Ridge Texture™ features raised directional ridges that create mechanical resistance against movement.

Instead of relying only on sticky rubber, the textured geometry works with the direction of force to improve control while reducing unwanted micro-slippage.

✔ Better control

✔ More consistent grip

✔ Excellent performance even with sweaty hands

Precision Grip Length™

One Size Doesn't Fit Every Hand.

Most lifting grips are made in only one standard length.

Hands aren't.

KUMAY developed multiple grip lengths based on hand proportions and biomechanics to help create proper palm coverage and pre-tension.

The result:

✔ Better wrapping efficiency

✔ Improved palm engagement

✔ Less finger exposure

✔ Greater stability under heavy loads

Passive Palm Lock™

Designed Around Your Palm—Not Just the Bar.

ProTex™ is engineered to reach the natural passive locking zone of the palm.

Once tension is created, the grip remains stable through palm engagement instead of relying on excessive finger strength.

This helps reduce grip fatigue while improving overall control during pulling movements.

Smart Pre-Tension™

One Wrap. Locked In.

A proper lifting grip should create tension before the lift begins.

ProTex™ is designed to generate consistent pre-tension during the initial wrap, allowing faster setup and more secure contact throughout the movement.

Less adjusting.

Less re-wrapping.

More lifting.

Thin Profile. Better Bar Feel.

Unlike bulky grip pads, ProTex™ features a thinner construction that keeps your hands closer to the bar.

Combined with Ridge Texture™, the thinner profile delivers excellent grip without sacrificing control.

✔ Better bar feel

✔ Faster wrapping

✔ More natural hand position

✔ Less unnecessary bulk

Designed For

• Deadlifts

• Pull-ups

• Lat Pulldowns

• Machine Rows

• High-volume back training

Ideal for lifters whose grip fails before their back muscles.

ProTex Pink Edition

Performance should never be limited by appearance.

The ProTex™ Pink Edition features a carefully coordinated color design across the grip pad, wrist label, hook-and-loop closure, and fabric materials.

Built with the same engineering and performance as every ProTex™ model.

Available in multiple sizes for both women and men.

Frequently Asked Questions

What makes ProTex™ different?

ProTex™ combines four key technologies:

• Ridge Texture™

• Precision Grip Length™

• Passive Palm Lock™

• Smart Pre-Tension™

Together they improve grip stability, wrapping efficiency, and palm engagement during heavy pulling exercises.

Does Ridge Texture™ really work?

Yes.

Traditional flat rubber can still experience slight movement during heavy or repetitive lifting.

Ridge Texture™ adds directional surface geometry that increases mechanical resistance against movement, helping improve control without relying solely on tackiness.

Why is grip length important?

Grip length directly affects:

• Palm coverage

• Pre-tension

• Wrapping stability

• Slip resistance

A grip that's too short may fail to engage the palm properly, reducing both stability and efficiency.

That's why KUMAY offers multiple grip lengths rather than one universal size.

Is ProTex™ suitable for women?

Absolutely.

Grip size should be determined by hand dimensions—not gender.

KUMAY offers multiple grip lengths designed to fit different palm sizes for both women and men.

Will thicker grip pads provide better grip?

Not necessarily.

A thicker grip pad increases the distance between your hand and the bar, which may reduce bar feel and control.

ProTex™ achieves exceptional grip through intelligent surface engineering instead of unnecessary thickness.
