Iron Rebel Padded Leather Lifting Straps for Men & Women | Gym Weightlifting Straps | Comfortable Grips for Deadlifts, Training, Powerlifting, & Bodybuilding

I bought these as many gyms do not have chalk, especially hotels. Straps are my last thing to try.Another reason these will "mold" to hands.Fist experience is good.

I love the durability, makes deadlifts lift better and more secure. Love the padding for the wrists. And I can only see them lasting for years to come!

I received my straps today and went right to training back; pros: it doesn’t cut into my skin around my wrist, the padding is just enough and it’s snug, its secure when locking in on the bar or dumbbell for rows. Cons: it’s a-little bulky and needs to be broken in. Thank you Iron rebel and Luke Caroll (ceo) .

My wrist measures just little under 7inches. I wasn’t able to get a tight fit because the Neoprene pad got in the way. If Iron Rebel was to make the pad just a little smaller it could fit a lot more people. Also note that the leather is really thick, my pair measured at 4.5mm. I still gave it 3 stars because quality of leather and stitching were great. l If you have a larger wrist, go for it, buy them.

First, let me say this: these leather straps are amazing as a leathercraft product.I have some schiek leather straps, and oh man, these are a HUGE upgrade to them.First, let's start with the product itself. 21 inches(a perfect lenght in my opinion) of full grain 4mm thick and 4,4cm wide quality leather, padded with some foam that could cover a little bit more of the straps, but nothing terrible. They are pretty hard because of that thickness, but I really don't mind, since I really like leather goods and I fully understand that in 99% of cases a good leather product will be uncomfortable at first, but will fit like a glove when it breaks in. They are notuncomfortable though, because of the pad. They are also very, very firm when you put them in, because the space where the straps goes in is exactly the width of the strap itself, so they won't move a single milimiter once you put them properly(that will take some time at first because of the hardness of the leather).In comparison, as I mentioned before I also own a pair of schiek leather straps, and you can really appreciate the difference between a general fitness brand and a specialized powerlifting one. They are barely over 2mm thickness, almost 24 inches long(way too much), their width is barely at 4cm and they have a more oily finish that makes it easy for them to stain, and very difficult to wash. But the biggest difference is that hole where the straps goes in, which has about 7,5cm of width, that consecuentialy means the straps are not secured and they frecuently move while youre lifting. That is the difference between some of the competition and these.In conclusion, these are really great leather products, and with the proper care they will outlast most of the things you have, since they are thicker than even most of the leather boots. But know that they will be have to be broken in, so don't expect maximum comfort. Absolutely recommended, and they are about the same price as the other schiek's, so go for them.

Other leather straps would always take a while to break in so you’re always a little cautious going heavy till you feel them soften up not with these bad boys the padding lets you get after it off the rip has definitely been a game changer in my lat game for sure!

For starters, it's not real leather. They came SO STIFF that the only thing you can do is get them wet and work them with your hands to soften them up a bit. The entire sink was brown from all the fake crap they use to make it look like real leather. Furthermore, they're absolutely useless above 400 pounds. The moment your hands produce even an iota of sweat, say goodbye to your grip, because sweat on leather may as well be like gripping a bar of soap as hard as you can. They could be 40' long and still be as useless. If you're a frail girl who isn't focusing on powerlifting...then maybe, but if your goal is numbers, this is the buyers beware you're looking for.
