Harbinger Lifting Grips, Black

I have found these to be a big step up from traditional lifting straps. They are more comfortable and much easier (and faster) to use. I was right on the border of their sizing chart so I got the M/L size. They work fine, although the S/M size might be even more comfortable for me. I have been using them regularly for about eight months and they have held up really well. I suspect they will last for many years. As with most things, the true test is: If I lost them would I buy them again? I definitely would!

Best I’ve used so far. Better than versa grips!

Excellent I've purchased versa grips and cobra grips and these are the best . They cost less than the others for starts but they give you a chose of sizes. Also they cover the whole palm of your hand and allow you to wraps it all the way around the bar. When comparing it to the others in order Harbinger is best at this then cobra and versa grips last. Harbingers palm grip is more flexible than the other two. Versa grips stitching comes apart after year of use. Cobra is ok as it is one piece of rubber. The cobra is my second choice because it only comes in one size, which has been ok for me but some other guys I know and it is less expensive than versa grips. The only issue I've had with them was an allergic skin reaction to the rubber around the wrist after they get dirty from sweat. I like the size of the versa grips in my palm verses the cobra grips as it is larger width wise. The harbinger palm grip did your hand the best of the 3. It is more flexible , it appears to be a suede verses the hard rubber of the other two. The wrist wrap is the easiest to use and fits and is the most comfortable of the three. I've used both the versa grip and cobra for a few years. I am a bodybuilder for over twenty years and the harbinger grips are the most versatile of the three for working out and pulling heavy weight definitely better than using regular canvas straps. You get the benefit of workout gloves and weight lifting straps all in one (same is true for versa grips an cobra I like all three verses canvas straps). All three are easy to spin around on your wrist to get out of the way when you don't need them. You don' t have to take them off when switching exercises. Once you us these types of grips you'll never workout without them. Well that's one persons opinion.Good luck! Hope this was helpful.Additional points: there is no right or left hand designation like Versa Grips or cobra you can where them on either hand - another point they fit your palm so that the crux between your thumb and index finger does not rub against the serrated area on a dumbbell where this happens on the other two. Also because the wrap part is long enough it makes it easier to wrap around one handed , where it is difficult to do with the versa grip and the cobra grip.. Think harbinger has thought out this product better than the other two

Got these for my bf who still uses them after 4 years and loves them!

These are the best gloves/grips I've ever purchased. They are holding up really well with regular usage. Provide a lot of extra leverage for pulling exercises, as well as can be used in place of gloves for other exercises.

I’ve tried all the different types of lifting straps that I’ve seen. They’ve all worked pretty well. Personally speaking, I like these the best! These are easier to use, they provide a little grip protection (similar to a glove), and they’re durable. They’re versatile because you don’t have to take them off between pushing and pulling exercises. They’re a little more expensive than the other straps, but the fit and durability of this product seems to be of good quality.These straps aren’t cumbersome like the loop through kind. You don’t have to fumble with the correct direction as you put them on, because they’re always secured to your wrist. With other straps, I’d have to put them in my pockets when I wasn’t using them. As I’d move to other exercises, they’d fall out of my pockets. I’d usually find them but not always. To sum it up, most types of straps seem to work well, but these are easier to use and harder to lose!

I was one of those guys who for the first couple of years of working out always skipped leg day :(. But over the past year or so i have made fixing my chicken legs a priority, and of coarse that includes doing some dead lifts. Quickly I outgrew my forearm strength but didn't want to miss out on a great exercise so I bought lifting straps (the long string like kind that you loop around the bar). Long story short, they hurt my wrist and are annoying to loop around the bar every time. Ive seen people use straps like this and finally decided to give it a try and here were my impressions.These are great quality. Its made of like a thick velvety like leather. The part at the top with lines has additional padding that feels mold-able. They seem to be a one size fits all. The medium would fit most hands that are not very very small. The straps go on SOOO much easier and loop around the bar as quickly as you can grab it. Per the instructions you do have to squeeze the foam to get the straps to stay straight (the naturally roll the same way your fingers do). And they work!!! I did not feel even the slighted bit limited or and slip while using these. Plus they seem to work different where there is not the same pressure/pain at your wrist like other straps. And they are so easy to use you can use them for any wide variety of exercises.They are great!Click YES if this review was helpful. If you have a question, leave a comment and I'll answer you! Feedback helps me improve my review! Thank you!!!

Got these to replace Versa Grips I lost at the gym. They're great for the price, but I wish the palm area was narrower. It's a little too wide and kinda gets in the way sometimes. Otherwise it does what it's supposed to do quite well.
