Product DescriptionStrap is made from heavy duty nylon and ''Dura-Grip'' rubber for added strength. The 21.5'' Dura-Grip rubber strips grab the bar for a ''No-Slip'' grip when lifting. Merrowed end tabs prevent fraying. When using the strap, rubber strip side must always face the bar. 21.5 inch extended length allows you to wrap the bar several times. One size fits all.
What Others Say
Not worth it
These wrist wraps were a disappointment. I usually just borrow plain cloth ones at the gym where I go or just wear gloves and use over/under grip, but I figured that I might as well get my own set.
I used them for the first time yesterday for a back workout, lifting (or pulling) 250+ lbs, and they were very uncomfortable. The adjustment takes forever, getting them tight around the bar is inconvenient, and worst of all the material is rough, which left me with 2 pretty bruised up wrists.
The original is better.
World Standard Fitness has been producing a padded rubberized strap for about 6 or 7 years now. They actually received a Canadian and U.S. patent on the rubberized lifting strap a few years ago. I even saw pictures of Phil Heath using them in the Nov. 2006 edition of Flex magazine. I read more about this company, the rubberized lifting strap, and its patents at its dot com website. btw, the rubberized lifting straps work brilliantly when you wrap them with the rubber side towards the hand, not the bar, as per the instructions that WSF give with their straps.
Great Value
For the price these are great lifting straps. The non-slip grip works great as long as you roll single layer. They might be a touch thin on the padding around the wrist, but I always wear extra sweat bands there and never have an issue with the strap digging into my skin. Overall great value, highly recommend.
These are Too Thick and needs PADDING
I don't understand the good reviews, either you are lifting very light weights that do not require straps or you really have no clue.
1) These carries some rubber coating on the webbing which if used they will rub against your wrist and they will give you bruises.
2) These are thicker than the standard harbinger and do need more adjustment than the regular webbing which offers a better value, thinner and more manageable straps it has also some neoprene around the wrist for padding.
3) These are shorter than the regular harbinger
You can't go beyond 3 plates with these with comfort just forget about it and look elsewhere.
Excellent straps
Been lifting for a number of years and decided to try straps to see if they help on back workouts. Bought two kinds, the standard cloth and these- I am ordering a second pair of these today. Absolutely great assist on all pulling movements, the rubber grip strips add a whole new dimension to the leverage of a strap. Also, these are thick enough that the straps don't come undone the way some will when you walk around with them loose in the gym. I highly recommend these- I have bought over 50 products on Amazon and this is the first time I felt strongly enough to write a review.
