Strong-Enough Lifting Straps

So far, so good!

Best straps you can buy

These seem super high quality and will last longer than the cotton ones. (Though I am replacing the cotton ones after 6 years and they've got a little more life in them) These feel a bit slippery at first, but when they break in they are good. Minor OCD thing... There is no right or left side, so the logo faces different directions. It really doesn't matter which way they face, but I do wish they were consistent.

I've owned many sets of lifting straps. To be perfectly honest, I am too picky about my straps so I have ordered my fair share searching for that "one" perfect strap. This is as close as I have come. The seat belt like material is easy on the wrist & while providing great grip on the bar, it does NOT snag when you release your grip. The straps will just slide off of the bar. This is especially great on pull down type movements as when straps snag they tend to pull the bar down into one's head. Lol The width of the strap is also perfect. GREAT STRAPS, GET THEM.

Perfect. No bells or whistles - no levers, comfort padding, etc. If you know - you know.

not the most comfortable, not the easiest to lock on but no contest the best grip and sturdiest build.

I do farmers carries with heavy kettlebells and, as I am getting older, I am experiencing hand pain and stiffness, because connective tissues in the hand--ligaments and tendons, shortening and lose their flexibility and lubricity (ability to slide) with age. I always look for US-made products and gladly pay a premium, when the quality for superior materials and construction. Also, cotton lifting straps get "gross" after a while, because they trap moisture. Nylon should resist dirt and smelliness better than cotton.

Premium brand. I love IM and what they stand for. These straps do what they are supposed to, but I think the rubber IM logo help convey quality, but they add unnecessary cost. The blue color is pretty famous and eye-catching. The nylon strap material works best on good, sharp knurling. It has a slick, "waxy" feel that tightens down fast and easy, but it can shift a little if the bar has shallow knurling. You also HAVE TO grip extremely hard, which is not a bad thing. However, cotton and leather straps seems to have more natural traction for your hands than nylon. Except for the logo, these are no-frills straps that work. I do think there are more comfortable straps out there, but these are very strong.

These are the best straps I've ever owned, there's a reason so many strongman and powerlifters use them. Maybe don't drag them across the knurling and they won't fray, I wouldn't listen to those reviews, treat your equipment well and it lasts.

It’s uncomfortable to wear and lift
