HarbingerPadded Leather Lifting Straps, Red

This has been the third pair of these specific types of straps I have gone through...And there are 5 reasons I keep buying these.1. They are leather (the cotton ones are always very slippery)2. When you break them in, they feel great.3. They hold a grip on the bar you can feel and control.4. They hold up very well to heavy weight.5. With enough use, they get a patina that I dig. ;-)I happened to look back at my orders, and I bought the last two pairs almost a year apart from each other. But I used them A LOT in all fairness for every year (4-5 times a week).I know there are some people that complain,... but come on,...nothing last forever.Yes after a LONG time of use, they start to bunch up at the wrist but it doesn't affect performance, and it doesn't mess with your comfort, or get in the way. Just what happens with leather that is constantly moving and having intense pressure in a specific shape and direction.After a year, it does start to tear at the high friction spot. But again...AFTER A YEAR, and it doesn't just snap on ya or anything.You'll see it coming from a mile away.I had a tear in the last one, and with the double stitching, it held up for one last go with some heavy weights. So for me they are safe. Regardless. They are worth the money even though I have gone through three pairs. Hopefully Harbinger keeps stocking them...

They do the job and they are plenty long. Any more would just add to the cost and hang down unused when you take your grip. I am neutral on durability only because I have not used them much so I can't say how tough they are. Right now they seem quite durable and they are red leather and that is cool.

These are the best lifting straps known to mankind. you dont really have to break them in

The steps work great. My complain is the red dye keeps staining my hands and clothing. I’ve only been using them for 2 weeks and It’s been a mess.

good fit good qulity butcolor bleeding occurred

The leather is more comfortable than the cotton straps, and the leather has held up to heavy rack pulls no problem.

These are the most amazing straps I’ve ever purchased. Im a bodybuilder and power lifter, and I can truly say that these straps have a lot of strength to hold massive amounts of weight, while moving around. I’ve used nylon straps over and over for years, and have torn them under heavy loads of weight. Never again will I use nylon straps for lifting. It’ll always be pure leather straps! The best investment you’ll ever make!

The media could not be loaded. I wish it was more durable. Other than that I 100% recommended buying them. Definitely worth buying it for heavy weight. Lasted around 3-4 months.
