Harbinger Big Grip No-Slip Nylon Lifting Straps with DuraGrip (Pair)

I've been using them for years and they are the best so far. Durable, no-slip, strong, absolutely the best.

I have been lifting heavy weights for 51 years. My hands started slipping a few years ago and in order for me to keep my weights the same weight, I started using lifting straps. They work very well. I have tried numerous brands and types. Someone at the gym told me about these lifting straps and suggested that I give them a try. They are by far the most comfortable and secure straps I have found to date. They put all other straps to shame. They are completely adjustable, comfortable, and they absolutely do not slip. If you are looking for the best lifting strap, then look no further. ***Update...Have used these straps weekly for the last 10 months. Last week one of the straps completely pulled over my hand (which I thought would have been impossible) on a heavy lift and today one of the straps simply popped open during a lift. Both times I injured myself. I couldn't figure out what happened. Then I looked at the Velcro and noticed that it had become worn and was not gripping as it should. Obviously they had become worn out and needed to be replaced. So be careful to check that the Velcro is in good shape and connects firmly, if not, then replace.

I am very happy with the way these wrist straps look, feel and function. Very hard to get all in a wrist strap. Many of these are cotton and they rip. This is a much stronger nylon weave, I like that. It has rubber bumps on it to aid in gripping the bar, also a nice touch. Each strap has a small neoprene pad on the inside as well. It sits on the top of the wrist where pressure is greatest. I think it's a nice touch.These are a bit wider and longer than some but this is nothing but an advantage. But then this is weightlifting not table tennis. You want a thin short wrist strap that will tear out on you in 6 months, then pass on these wrist straps because theses are made to last.If you're wondering if these are worth it, I say absolutely. I can now shrug 300+ with no slips. To clean them, I would just hand wash and rinse then air dry. Cleaning is important or, like any wrist worn item, it will eventually stink beyond belief.

I've started getting into some of the heavier weights at the gym and was finding that my grip was giving out before the muscle group I was working did. I picked up a set of the classic type straps that are just fabric that has a sewn in flat loop at one end. You loop the other end through, put your wrist though, so the strap exends away from your wrist and out across your palm. You then wrap this around a weight bar to give you added grip. I gotta tell ya, the basic straps are cumbersom to use and it's tricky getting them wraped around your wrist in the right direction so they lay just right for proper use. They would also loosen and get in the way a lot. Enter the Harbinger Pro Big Grip No-Slip lifting straps.This is a strap that essentially has two integrated pieces to it. 1, is a padded wrist cuff with a a stainless loop and velcro strap closure. It makes it very easy to wrap them around your wrists, (even if you are wearing the gloves with built in wrist wraps). You can snug them down quite readily and they stay in place right there. The lifting strap is sewn into the wrist cuff portion and extens otu the middle. So, it's very quick and easy to strap them on and have them in the right position. The lifting straps on this set, also has a rubberized strip or two woven into the underside which when wrapped around the bar, gives you even better grippign power to help distribute the weight on your hands and wrists allowing you to get that extra few reps or pounds up before your grip gives out. One side effect of the rubberized strap is that when you wrap them around the bar, it's customary to slide the wraps and twist them around to tighten it up before you start your set. The rubberized straps make it a little difficult to do that. It is doable none the less.My one dissappointment so far was that on the very first time out at the gym with these, the sewn fabric pieces on the very end of the lifting strap (put there to prefent fraying I think) tore away and left the strap end to start fraying. A week later, the other strap is starting the same process. My plan is to try the time honored trick of using a lighter and melt the ends some to prevent any real fraying progress.This was not dissapointment enough to prevent me from ordering a second pair for traveling.Cheers.

Good enough for your workout routine. I recommend !

I bought these for the first time maybe six years ago. They worked great, broke-in nicely, the grip continued to hold. The price was reasonable. But somehow I lost one of them recently. So I happily bought a replacement set.But this new set is different. The nylon webbing appears to be as sturdy and thick as the older set. But, There are a few differences. The label showing the logo has less pronounced lettering. It also states that it’s made in Pakistan.Those two things are not so important; the more important thing is that the straps are improperly manufactured. The rubber grippy coating is on the wrong side of both straps. It’s on the same side as the wrist padding.As a result when you wrap the strap around a bar, it slips. There are two kinds of wrist. Straps: one is made of cotton. Naturally cotton is able to grip a bar pretty well. But cotton can be less durable, it can fray or rip over time. Straps made out of nylon, like this set, are much more durable. But nylon is slippery compared to cotton. So nylon straps need to have a rubber coating on one side so that the strap will not slide on the bar.My older set of straps had the rubber coating on the correct side, the side opposite of the wrist padding. (And as pictured in the photos in this listing) The set of straps I received is just made wrong. It’s going back.It could be a one off manufacturing defect.
