Harbinger Lifting Grips Black

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! Read more

I tried everything, but only these grips are really do the job for pull ups! Highly recommend! Read more

I've often experienced the problem of not being able to increase my weight on a certain exercise because my hands simply could not hold the weight. This would usually be the case near the end of an hour long back or leg workout when my hands are tired. I tried lifting straps, but found them cumbersome and inefficient. Thus, the purchase of these lifting grips. I seriously considered buying Versa Gripps, but I just could not swallow the hefty price tag. These grips were considerably less expensive. They are obviously made from quality leather and seem very durable. They work better than I anticipated. I have upped my weight on dead lifts, dumbbell squats, one-arm rows and barbell rows, and many other exercises. I love the padding at the end of the strap. The only con I can see from these lifting grips is that they did tend to leave my palms black. This has gradually improved the longer I've used them (although I still get faintly black palms after 6 months of heavy use). The black does not really wash off in the shower, but it does wear off after a day or two. Still worth it. Read more

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 Read more

This is one of the gloves I purchased to add to my continuous effort of losing the COVID weight. My hands started to have blisters from the weight bars and I don't want rough skin on my hands. I heard a good glove can prevent blisters and can assist in my weight lifting too. The material is soft with a firm wrist wrap. The tip of the glove have these nonslip elements for better grabbing purpose. Overall, I like this set of gloves. Please note that you may need to take off your watch/smart watch when wearing this glove. Read more
