HarbingerBig 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 really liked the non-slip feature of this product; worked really well. However, while using it one day at the gym, one of the straps became detached and broke right off. I took it to a cobbler and had it repaired, but the strap became detached again! Never happened to me before, but as the saying goes, there’s a first time for everything! 🤷🏽‍♂️

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.

Anyone considering these wrist wraps (aka Lifting Strap) likely does so after having used the fabric/cloth ones (from Harbinger) in the past, like I have. Those fabric wrist wraps have the cushion for the wrist (which I like) but also will invariably fray and need to be replaced in 6-8 months - at least for my lifting schedule (3 to 6 times a week).Some background on my typical use cases - I use wrist wraps (probably too frequently) for wide and close grip chin-ups/pull-ups, deadlift and shrugs. Also for any hammerstrength machine or dumb bell back exercise on the heavy sets.These non-slip wrist wraps do, in fact, stick to the bar more effectively than the cloth ones.Their chief asset, and the manner in which they are vastly superior to the cloth model, is their apparent durability. They are made of a material substantially similar to a car seatbelt, lined with the rubber mentioned in the product description. I can't imagine these will ever need to be replaced.Major con is that they will profoundly irritate your wrists on wide-grip back exercises with heavy weight (example of heavy sets for me were 315lbs wide grip deadlifts - that is cake for some people I know - it's all relative, just trying to give people context).Wide-grip deadlift and wide-grip pull-ups were a killer. Over 48 hours later I still have marks on my wrists.It's not nearly as bad with close grip exercises or shrugs.I'll still use them for some exercises and will probably bring my cloth ones out for wide-grip going forward.(UPDATE 7.29.09)I'd rate these four stars after having become accustomed to them. They won't ever need to be replaced - which also means they wouldn't ever give way in the middle of a set, which in turn means they are safer (there have been times I pushed the envelope with a frayed pair of the cloth ones, though none ever snapped on me there is always a first time).

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 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.

Good enough for your workout routine. I recommend !

Once you break them in, these are a good strap. But it takes a while to break them in
