KAPCO HoldFast Dragon Boat Bundle, T-grip and Kayak Canoe Paddle Grip 6", Pair

Considering the cost, they do not last. I made sure the paddle was clean and dry before applying and didn't use it for 48 hours. The T Grip was the first to deteriorate as it came apart. The lower grip stayed in place for a few weeks but has separated where it interlocks. I am a Team USA senior C paddler and average at least 30 kilometers a week so I was expecting the grips to last more than a couple of months. See pictures.

I wanted to try a different type of paddle grip for my dragon boat paddle, and heard about the HoldFast Paddle Grips, so thought I'd give it a try. Not only did I get a lot of people asking me where I got it, and them being impressed, but I was very impressed with it as well. My hand never slipped, despite me not wearing gloves, and I keep a light grip. This is very impressive because I do drive down hard when the blade is entering the water, and usually a paddle will slip through my grip. It comes with a standard t-bar handle grip as well, but I didn't need to put that on my paddle.

The dragon boat paddle grip is wonderful to have on the paddle. That said, the fingers slowly peel off during use. I hold my paddle with the palm of the hand against the fingers of the grip to avoid loosening them. I wish they would have additional glue on those finger tips.

I really like these paddle grips. They really stick well and there are just a little spongy feeling! Makes for a comfortable paddle hold! Make sure you are ready to put them on your paddle before taking the backing off! They are super sticky!! You can pull on them to adjust them but get it in place the best you can the first time.

It's a great idea but just doesn't last, where it interlocks it's starts to pull away and comes off, I am a Senior C paddler and needed to use this went I went to China this year, don't care much for wax, hope they improve on this product soon.

just bought this and super excited! wax gets sticky/gross when it's hot and athletic tape needs replaced too often. this grip feels good and was easy to apply.

Use it on my drago boat paddle and have stopped using gloves. Grip ios good and my hand does not slip any more. Friends are jealous.

Item is advertised and sold as a pair. Only one grip was included in the packaging that I received.
