Volan Padel Overgrip: Tri-Tec Layers and 1.75mm Design

A padel overgrip is a small part of the racket, but it is the surface your hand meets on every shot. When comparing one, it helps to look beyond a simple “sticky” or “soft” label: consider the stated thickness, surface texture, moisture handling, fit and how those qualities may affect your feel of the handle. Volan describes its Premium Overgrip as a 1.75mm, three-layer Tri-Tec design with micro-perforations, tack and sweat absorption. Those are the product’s listed specifications and features—not independent test findings.

The way I’d compare an overgrip is to start with what a product page can actually verify: thickness, construction and surface. How it feels in your hand is still personal.

Thickness: cushioning versus handle definition

Volan lists the overgrip at 1.75mm thick. Thickness is useful to compare when you want to understand the product’s intended feel, but it does not tell every player exactly how the handle will feel in their hand. Grip size, how the overgrip is applied and personal preference all matter. One product-page review describes a “Nice cushioned feel without hiding the bevels of the handle.” That is one customer’s impression, not a promise that every player will experience the same balance of cushioning and bevel definition.

Three layers, one stated construction

The product page calls the construction “Tri-Tec 3-layer” and describes a laminate. That tells shoppers the design is presented as layered rather than as a single uniform sheet. Volan also lists vibration dampening as a feature. Treat these as the brand’s product claims: the page does not provide independent test results that would establish how much vibration is reduced for every racket, player or shot.

That distinction is worth keeping in mind when evaluating technical detail. The same page lists additional measurements and performance ratings, including a thickness tolerance and numerical ratings for tackiness, absorption, durability and vibration control. They are published product-page claims; no independent verification is supplied alongside them on the page. For a practical comparison, start with the headline specifications and use your own comfort and control preferences to decide which matter most.

Tack and perforation: different parts of the grip story

Volan describes the finish as ultra-tacky and the surface as micro-perforated, and it lists sweat absorption as a feature. In simple terms, tack describes the grippy surface feel, while perforations describe the texture pattern. The product page presents these together as part of the intended hold, but it does not establish that perforations alone cause a particular level of moisture management. Conditions such as heat and a player’s hands can also shape the experience.

Review comments add individual impressions rather than controlled evidence. One product-page reviewer says the grip works well in hot Jakarta weather; another says it is not slippery when sweaty and notes that it was easy to wrap. These are customers’ own reports, not universal performance guarantees. For a broader view of the listed feedback and product details, see the Volan Premium Overgrip product page.

Fit and application

Volan’s description says the overgrip fits all standard padel and tennis handles. If you are comparing options, check that the intended fit matches your racket and look at the wrap instructions supplied with the product. One review notes easy application; that is helpful context, though wrapping technique and familiarity can influence how straightforward any overgrip feels to apply.

In short, Volan’s listed combination is 1.75mm thickness, three-layer construction, micro-perforation, tack and sweat-absorption features, plus broad handle fit. Use those specifications to frame the comparison, and read customer comments as personal impressions—not lab measurements.
