Please help with my "coming soon" webpage

Hey guys! I hired someone to create a custom "coming soon" webpage for my up coming product. I want to get the word out and begin collecting email addresses for those interested in the product. I plan to release it to my strong social media following.

Product is a glove specialized for the crossfit niche. I have been involved in crossfit since the begin and am pretty well known throughout the community. The glove elminates ripping and irritation of the hand while still being flexable and functional as if barehanded which is hugely important to crossfitters.

My goal is to get people interested int he product. I plan to have an email signup that will pop up similar to gapingvoid.com.

So, my question is, the attached photos are screen shots of how it looks thus far. Is there anything I should change? Or should I write things differently? I could really use help here, thanks!!

    Might be a good idea to offer them a "money off coupon" they can use on launch day. At least you'll have a list of people that have taken action based on an actual offer.

    I didn't see it on the page but where will e-mail sign-up box be? Or will it be a pop-up? You want to be sure this is in plain view and easy to see.

      Just wondering what the difference between this glove and other fitness/weight lifting gloves?

      For instance I use fingerless gloves. What advantages do yours possess over mine (same with full fingered gloves)???

      It might also help to get them in the hands of influential people within the CrossFit community while soliciting feedback. Use the positive comments in your marketing and the negative to build an even better product.

        Thanks for feeback!

        The email signup will pop up similar to gapingvoid.com. This is to make sure its easilly seen, I will prob also add it to bottom incase people x out of it by accident.

        The difference is huge, not sure if you are familiar wiht crossfit but the movements are immensely diverse and can range from pullups to olympic clean and jerks to hang cleans to hand stand walks, in one workout (which is done for time, every secound counts, aka no time to take on/off gloves). Grip is HUGE convential gloves are too heavy and thick and inhibit hang movement. Quick example, hang from the pullup bar with regular gloves on, then barehanded you will notice a huge difference. In crossfit its not unlikely to do 100 pullups or more in one workout, if people are falling off the bar because they can grip it, they will lose. This is why my glove is only two fingers (covers where we rip all the time, due to where calous tend to form) but at the same time not only maintains the functionality of being bared but improvies it by implementing grips inbetween the finger joints

          Incorporate what you just said into your marketing. Tell people what makes your glove special, especially those new to cross fit.

          Quick question---- what types of gloves are people using now?
