Track my order

Was this helpful?
My shipping email has no tracking number.

Sorry, that one’s on us.

Track it here, or message us and we’ll send it. Says “not found”? Give it 1–2 business days. Tracking wakes up at the carrier’s first scan.

Was this helpful?
Tracking hasn’t moved in days. Is it lost?

Probably not. Parcels often go quiet while clearing customs.

It only counts as lost after 20 days in the US or 40 days abroad. Past that? Message us and we’ll chase the carrier. Added Shipping Insurance? We reship it free.

Was this helpful?
It says delivered, but it isn’t here.

Give it until tomorrow evening. Carriers often scan early.

Check the mailbox, porch, mailroom and neighbours. Still nothing? Message us and we’ll open a claim.

Was this helpful?
Shipping abroad: will I pay customs?

No. We cover customs.

We ship to 83+ countries, and checkout shows the exact shipping cost before you pay. P.O. boxes and APO/FPO work too. If a carrier ever charges you anyway, send us the receipt and we’ll adjust it.

Was this helpful?
No confirmation email. Did my order go through?

Check spam first. Then ask us before ordering again.

A typo in the email is the usual culprit. Send us your name, order date and country and we’ll find it. Ordering twice is how double charges happen.

How to measure your hand with a bank card for Barehand sizing
The card trick

No tape measure? Lay a bank card across your palm and see which digit your hand reaches.

Was this helpful?
I’m between two sizes. Which one?

The smaller one. Every time.

It’s our most common swap: Medium to Small, Small to XS. Barehand should feel like a second skin. Loose fabric bunches and slides.

Was this helpful?
How should they fit?

Like a second skin: snug palm, flat fingers, no sliding.

  • Too big: fabric bunches, or it slips off on pull-ups. Size down.
  • Too small: hard to pull on, or it pinches. Size up.

Not sure? Send us a photo and we’ll tell you.

Was this helpful?
They were snug. Now they feel loose.

Normal at first. A warm wash brings the snug back.

Tumble dry on low–medium to shrink them slightly. Still sliding? Swap to the next size down within 45 days.

Was this helpful?
Even XS is too big for me.

XS fits hands 6–7 in around, so smaller hands may not fit yet.

Return them for a full refund within 45 days, and tell us. Requests like yours decide our next size.

How do I wash them?

Machine wash with regular detergent. No bleach, no softener.

Air dry, or tumble dry low–medium for a slightly snugger fit.

Was this helpful?
They smell. Help?

Soak them for 15–30 minutes in warm soapy water.

Rinse well, then dry completely. Sunlight works best.

Was this helpful?
How long do they last?

Like running shoes: it depends how hard you train.

Barehand is thin so you can feel the bar, which means it wears with use. Washing and drying them fully helps them last.

Is Barehand right for me?

Honest answers before you buy

How is Barehand different from gym gloves?

Gym gloves add padding. Barehand takes the friction away.

Two thin layers slide against each other, so your skin doesn’t. You keep the feel of the bar and lose the rips.

Was this helpful?
What workouts are they for?

Anything you grip: bars, dumbbells, pull-up rigs.

Deadlifts, rows, CrossFit, calisthenics, kipping pull-ups and rowing. Kettlebells? Size snug, because a loose glove shifts on swings.

Was this helpful?
Do they have padding for heavy lifts?

No, and that’s the point.

Padding puts a pillow between you and the bar. Want cushioning? Barehand isn’t for you, and you have 45 days to find out risk-free.

Was this helpful?
Do they work with sweaty hands?

Yes. They’re thin and breathable.

Fit matters most: a loose glove slides when it’s damp.

Was this helpful?
Do they need breaking in?

A few sessions.

Our break-in tutorial shows how to get the best grip from day one.

Was this helpful?
What’s in the box?

One pair of gloves.

The carry case is sold separately.

Was this helpful?
Where can I buy genuine Barehand?

Only at rawwgear.com and approved partners. Never on Amazon.

Bought somewhere else and something feels off? Send us photos and we’ll check.
