SoftGrip Pilates Gloves

The dots aren't decorative.

If this is your first time seeing these, hello. They are SoftGrip Pilates Gloves, and the small silicone dots on the palm are the whole idea.

The dots sit on the side of your hand that meets the bar, the straps and the mat. The rest of the glove is kept simple: half-finger, one size, no velcro.

Why wear gloves for Pilates?

A Pilates class is mostly hands and feet. Your feet often have grip socks on. Your hands usually go onto the bar, the straps and the mat with nothing on them at all.

A SoftGrip Glove puts a print of silicone dots between your palm and whatever it rests on. The glove itself is a stretchy knit, 82% cotton, with the fingertips left free.

Here is what to look at before you choose your colour.

Turn it over

Look closer at the palm.

Small silicone dots are printed across the palm. They are raised, evenly spaced and easy to see, even on Black.

When you place your hand, the dots face down onto the strap, the bar or the mat. The back of the hand stays open, with one strap at the wrist and no velcro.

The short version, before you pick a colour.

  • The dots

    A silicone dot print on the palm, the side that sits on the bar, the straps and the mat.

  • Half-finger

    Your fingertips stay free, so you can use a touchscreen or adjust a strap without taking the gloves off.

  • One size

    A stretchy knit that adapts to most hands. Laid flat, 10cm wide by 12cm high. No size chart.

  • Machine washable

    Cold or gentle cycle, inside out. Tumble drying is fine, with or without a Wash Bag.

    Five colours

    One glove, five colours.

    Every colour has the same dot print, the same half-finger cut and the same one size. The only choice to make is the one you would reach for first.

      How your first order works

      You can start with one pair of gloves, or build a small kit around them. Here is how the range, the glove packs, the ladder and the sets fit together, so the choices just below make sense.

      1Pick your pieces

      rkkn makes a small kit for the studio. Gloves for your hands, socks for your feet, and the extras that live in the same bag.

      2Gloves come in packs

      One pair works. Most people keep a second pair in the wash, so the gloves are sold in packs. The more pairs in a pack, the less each pair costs.

      1 pairOn its own
      2 PackLess per pair
      3 PackLeast per pair, plus a free wash bag

      3Then the ladder kicks in

      Every piece in your cart counts: gloves, socks, clips, the bottle, the cap. Each step up the ladder unlocks something, and the steps stack on top of the pack price.
