Harbinger Big Grip No-Slip Nylon Lifting Straps with DuraGrip (Pair)

Good enough for your workout routine. I recommend !

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've started getting into some of the heavier weights at the gym and was finding that my grip was giving out before the muscle group I was working did. I picked up a set of the classic type straps that are just fabric that has a sewn in flat loop at one end. You loop the other end through, put your wrist though, so the strap exends away from your wrist and out across your palm. You then wrap this around a weight bar to give you added grip. I gotta tell ya, the basic straps are cumbersom to use and it's tricky getting them wraped around your wrist in the right direction so they lay just right for proper use. They would also loosen and get in the way a lot. Enter the Harbinger Pro Big Grip No-Slip lifting straps.This is a strap that essentially has two integrated pieces to it. 1, is a padded wrist cuff with a a stainless loop and velcro strap closure. It makes it very easy to wrap them around your wrists, (even if you are wearing the gloves with built in wrist wraps). You can snug them down quite readily and they stay in place right there. The lifting strap is sewn into the wrist cuff portion and extens otu the middle. So, it's very quick and easy to strap them on and have them in the right position. The lifting straps on this set, also has a rubberized strip or two woven into the underside which when wrapped around the bar, gives you even better grippign power to help distribute the weight on your hands and wrists allowing you to get that extra few reps or pounds up before your grip gives out. One side effect of the rubberized strap is that when you wrap them around the bar, it's customary to slide the wraps and twist them around to tighten it up before you start your set. The rubberized straps make it a little difficult to do that. It is doable none the less.My one dissappointment so far was that on the very first time out at the gym with these, the sewn fabric pieces on the very end of the lifting strap (put there to prefent fraying I think) tore away and left the strap end to start fraying. A week later, the other strap is starting the same process. My plan is to try the time honored trick of using a lighter and melt the ends some to prevent any real fraying progress.This was not dissapointment enough to prevent me from ordering a second pair for traveling.Cheers.

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

Originally gave this two stars after one workout. After a second workout I'm dropping it to 1 star. These things are terrible. It's a good concept but the slippery material is so useless for holding a grip that any improvement on barehanded grip was marginal at best. Ruined my deadlift workout completely.For perspective: I'm not a crazy powerlifter or anything, I can deadlift 315 with bare hands, and 405 with straps. I was doing deadlifts at 315 with these when the slick material started to slip through my hands.I had the following issues with these:1) The cuff is fairly comfortable if you get it adjusted perfectly, but it has it's issues. If you tighten it up too much without it right up tight against the flare of your palm, it will sort of pull your wrist skin into a wrinkle and pinch it between the wide part of your hand and the cuff. The extra padding is nice in that it prevents the hard edges of the nylon from digging into your wrist, but the other issues it creates are IMO, just as bad or worse. I've never had a regular strap leave marks that lasted more than a couple of hours on my wrists, so really... is this a problem?2) The strap part comes straight off the cuff at 90 degrees. Anyone who uses "regular" wrist straps knows the strap hangs at an angle, angled from the pinky side of your palm near your wrist, towards the thumb, so when you wrap it around the bar it forms a nice helix. This strap can be cajoled to do this, but it's a PITA.3) The strap material is very slick. I even washed mine, hoping it was some kind of manufacturing oil or something. This is a major issue both when you're trying to maintain a solid feeling grip through the strap, and when you're trying to wrap the strap around a bar. As stated above I was losing my grip with a weight I can do barehanded.4) The stupid, gimmicky rubber material they use on this strap and others. I really don't know why they do this - I've never had a regular, unadorned strap slip off a bar. This sticky rubber makes it very difficult to cynch the strap down on any bar, especially when combined with the slick material that faces your palm. It's doable on dumbbells where you can roll the weight to pull the strap tight, but on hammer strength or other machines it's near impossible. I've also noted that the rubber is chewed up after one workout, so it's clearly not very durable. Get rid of this crap harbinger, please!5) Others have said the buckle placement is bad, but I don't have this problem. They may be using the straps so the "strap" part is positioned at the center of the palm - in which case the buckle will dig into your wrist. I rotate the cuffs a bit so the strap hangs near my pinky (see issue #1). In this position the buckle didn't cause me any issues.6) At the end of the day, they are kind of goofy and a pain to use. Regular straps you just loop around, slip on and go. These you have to thread the velcro through the buckle, position them on your wrist, tighten, adjust, etc. It doesn't sound like a big deal but if you want to do supersets or something it makes it difficult. This extra hassle would be manageable if they were better in some way than normal straps, but they are definitely, definitely not.

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.
