Orders & shipping
When it ships, where it is, what to do if it’s late
When will my order ship?
Within 2–3 days.
Big sale or a backordered colour? We email you a ship date, so you’re never guessing.
My order says “Completed”. Has it arrived?
Not yet. “Completed” means it has shipped.
Your tracking number lands in your inbox the moment it’s Completed.
How do I track my order?
Right here. Tap below, then add your order number and checkout email.
Both are in your order confirmation email. You’ll see where it is without leaving this page.
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.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Sizing & fit
Snug is right. Between sizes? Go smaller.
Find your size in 10 seconds
Measure around your palm, just below your four knuckles.
Where’s the full size chart?
Right here. Measure around your palm, just below the knuckles.

No tape measure? Lay a bank card across your palm and see which digit your hand reaches.
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.
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.
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.
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.
Returns, exchanges & refunds
45 days. Even after you’ve trained in them.
What’s your return policy?
45 days, 100% refund, even after you’ve trained in them.
Test them on your heaviest lift. If they don’t earn a place in your gym bag, send them back. (A second return needs to be within 30 days and unused.)
How do I start a return or exchange?
One 2-minute form. You only fill it in once.
Who pays for return shipping?
You choose: your own label, or ours, taken off your refund.
Exchanges ship to you free.
How do exchanges work?
Send yours back. Your new pair ships as soon as it arrives.
Tell us the size or colour you want, pack the return number in the box, and reply with your tracking number. Size out of stock? We’ll offer another colour or a full refund.
I bought two sizes to compare. Can I return one?
Yes, and it’s a smart move.
Keep the pair that fits. Return the other unused within 45 days.
They were a gift. Can I swap the size?
When do I get my refund?
Within 72 hours of your return reaching us.
Your bank then takes 2–10 business days to show it. We email you when it’s sent.
Change or cancel an order
Before it ships, almost anything goes.
Can I change my shipping address?
Yes, if it hasn’t shipped. Message us fast.
Include your order number and the full new address, apartment number too. Paid with PayPal? Check the address it sent us; it’s often an old one.
Can I change the size or colour?
Yes, free, if it hasn’t shipped and it’s in stock.
Send us your order number and what you’d like instead.
How do I cancel?
Not shipped yet? Full refund. Already shipped? Return it.
Message us with your order number.
I ordered twice, or got charged twice.
Send both order numbers. We’ll refund the extra.
It usually happens when a payment looks declined but goes through. Check your email before trying again.
Care, durability & warranty
Thin on purpose. Here’s how to make them last.
Something broke. What now?
Broke within 45 days? We replace them free.
Tab snapped, seam opened, coating peeling or arrived damaged: send two photos and we’ll make it right.
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.
They smell. Help?
Soak them for 15–30 minutes in warm soapy water.
Rinse well, then dry completely. Sunlight works best.
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.

Need it by a date? Check the delivery times under Orders first.
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.
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.
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.
Do they work with sweaty hands?
Yes. They’re thin and breathable.
Fit matters most: a loose glove slides when it’s damp.
Do they need breaking in?
What’s in the box?
One pair of gloves.
The carry case is sold separately.
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.
