Harbinger Lifting Grips, Black

Tried the Harbinger lifting Grips for the first time today. I prefer lifting grips over gloves. I also own and have used Versa Gripps and Nayoya. Out of the three I think the Harbinger's are the best for the price. They provide a good grip and are fairly comfortable and seem to be the most rugged of the three. Due to the fact that I wear my straps/grips during my entire workout it's important that they do not get in the way when I spray and wipe down the equipment when I'm down with it. All three of the strap/grips I have mentioned can easily be worn while wiping down equipment. The following is how I would compare all three.Versa Gripps - best grip, most comfortable, least durable (seams have let loose several times requiring sewing), $54Harbinger - 2nd best grip, as comfortable as the Nayoya's, $28Nayoya - least amount of grip,OK comfort, best price, $19I wanted to add I bought the medium/large size. My wrists measure 7" in circumference and when secured snug I have a little over 1" of Velcro left so I consider the fit to be perfect.

My first pair didn't last a year, as the thread started coming off.My latest pair has been a complete fail. The left grip around the wrist is twisting. If you look closely near the buckle, the foam underneath is quite short. This is a problem. Design flaw? It should be longer. When I use them to pull, it doesn't stay in place and I end up with the twist, which isn't good for my wrist. See the images I will post with this message. Look how close the bottom material is under the buckle loop. Compare to other grips. The Harbingers are very short. If it were longer, I might not have the twisting problem.Customer Service Fail:I messaged Harbinger through Facebook, with pictures, and didn't hear a response from a human, just an automated one saying they would get back to me. They didn't. I gave up. I wanted to share my experience.

I have used many straps and typically stuck with the more traditional straps. Tried the out and will never Go back. The traditional straps were a pain to wrap around the bar over and over before starting the lift. These literally just fold over once and your palm locks it in. Amazingly quick to set up and hold is awesome. I have used them for a few months now with no issues. Deadlifts at 400+ are no problem double overhand with these! Great pick up!

I have used Cobra Grips and versa grippss. Both has some pros and cons however I was able to hold on to the pull up bar or weight after wrapping it..Palm Protector Style Wrapping : It's hard to hold on these either on pull bar that is smooth such as old school squat racks top bars..Advanced Wrapping for Pull Moves: I have used this on textured or smooth bars. I had crazy amount of forearm activation as I had to hold on tight on the straps..With similar products I was only using one or two finger tips sometimes nothing at all. I often also do pull ups on square painted bars of smith machines etc.. I was not even able to do a single one with these..Straps are also way too long and additional grip padding is causing high stress points on your palm.

Didn't see anyone else with this issue but when I get any moisture on these they bleed dye. This dye got all over everything. Tried washing them then drying them still happens. Cannot recommend these for that reason. Really liked the performance but can't imagine something for the gym being so susceptible to any amount of moisture

I bought these because it loaded straight down from the wrist. I was annoyed with how tradition straps would load the weight a slight angle to my wrist. I wasn't disappointed at first. It felt great. The quality was surprisingly good. I was really happy at first.Unfortunately, the feeling didn't last. As good as these lifting grips felt, it didn't hold the weight as tightly as traditional straps. During my deadlift my working sets, the weight would give just a tad at the start of the lift -- from where my the grip comfortably sat at rest to where it would catch under load. The give wasn't much, but the lift felt awful. Sadly, I just ordered another $10 pair of traditional straps. It's time to go back.

I bet a kid could tell which one is used. I mean it probably won't make a huge difference when using but it makes me not happy, cause somebody did this on purpose for sure. How do you have one that is used and the other one is not in the same package? You probably mixed a used pair with a new pair so that the the customers are less likely to return them. I don't like how you do business, but you got me because I need them right now.

My husband bought what he thought were two lifting straps as that is what is pictured, and the price reflects, and only one arrived. Given that he needs two hands for deadlifts, pulling exercises etc, I'm not sure what use one strap is. I will be returning them and finding someone who actually provides two straps for this price.

What a con! The descriptions says pack of 2 and when it arrived I only got one! Not only is a single one not worth the price you pay but I have two hands.....a single one is not much use!! Waste of money.

Great product, really helps with grip when doing pull-ups! Last delivery and great quality.

It is really useful for deadlifts

I was skeptical about spending so much money on these, when regular lifting straps are so cheap. But I'm glad I did because these are way worth it.First of all, they are well make. I've been using them for two months and they're holding up very well.Second, they're way easier to use. I use them primarily for deadlifting and it takes no time to wrap these grips around the bar and go. Of course regular straps are simple too, but they do take more time to set up and you can't drop the bar with them either (should you need do). With these grips, you can let go and drop the bar if necessary.Third, they are comfortable. They feel good around my wrist and on my palms.I have no hesitation recommending these to lifters at any level.
