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...

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

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

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.

I really like these straps good grip to a bar and good grip for yours hands on Tejas leather

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!

If you lift heavy these leather straps are an excellent option. They are a bit stiff and need a bit of time to break in, but the quality in the leather is there and I can see these lasting a long time. The foam padding is holding up quite good thus far and that's my only concern for the long run. But so far so good.

Not a chance (after opening the package) that i was going to deadlift with these straps.I had zero confidence that under heavy weight they would not snap.
