GRIPPERS (Anti-Sliders) – Maximum Safety and Performance
BalancePlus GRIPPERS (Anti-Sliders) are designed to give curlers superior traction and protection both on and off the ice. Unlike loose, universal designs that stretch out and risk slipping off, our grippers are contoured for the left or right foot to ensure a secure, customized fit. This reduces the risk of accidents and provides consistent performance game after game.
Made with a special rubber compound and aggressive tread texture, these grippers lock in place with a built-in securing system, making them the safest option for curlers at every level.
