You are looking at the VF KettleShields™ which are reinforced wristbands that help reduce discomfort associated with kettlebell pressure on the forearms for beginners. These are the "Trainer" versions designed for new lifters. They have a soft pad under a plastic insert covered by a cotton wristband with the VF Logo stitched on. When technique is learned, the lifter may remove the plastic inserts and use them like regular wristbands. *Note- There are also "Heavy Duty" VF KettleShields™ available, designed for use with heavier kettlebells.
