Our popular Grippitz push gloves have been improved by the manufacturer. The grippy surface now comes all the way up the inside of the palm and the gloves are more flexible for comfort.
Grippitz push gloves/Quad Cuffs were designed by a C4/5 spinal injured wheelchair user. The designer spent years being frustrated by weights gloves, cycling gloves or generic wheelchair pushing gloves. So, he decided to design his own to overcome the limitations of the other gloves he had tried.
Grippitz pushing gloves are designed to help you get where you’re going, efficiently and safely. The highly textured rubber palm pad has been positioned to direct your energy wherever you need it most. They are made from a soft but durable leather with a thick flexible palm. This extends further up the wrist than most pushing gloves. This allows those who need to brake with their wrists, on downhill sections, to get a good grip without friction burning the skin or the glove material wearing out.
They also assist those with more severe injuries by assisting with grip during transfers.
The gloves also open fully along the back to allow the user to put them on easily. Simply locate the thumb in the right place and close the Velcro. This is an improvement over other designs that involve having to pull a glove on and force uncooperative fingers to go into correct finger holes.
Rob uses his Push Gloves alongside Tetra Push Rims which are specially designed to make pushing easier for those with reduced hand function. The Tetra Push Rims are available from our web shop.

Gloves work well. After having a stroke my left hand does not grip too well the gloves have made a big difference.

Gloves work well but the Velcro wears out in two weeks top basically the Velcro needs to be better

Hi Doral, So sorry you have had an issue with these push gloves, I believe you have been in touch with our dispatch team already but let us know if we can help you further. We have spoken to the manufacturer about this and asked them to make some changes to the design.
