Harbinger Padded Cotton Lifting Cushioned Reviews Summary

Durability

Pros:

• "The heavy-duty stitching makes them super durable, and the end tabs prevent fraying."

• "Strong stitching and quality fabric make these straps incredibly reliable."
• "Used for over a year now and amazing how they have stayed nice. No fraying. No loose threads. No broke stitching."
• "These wraps are extremely strong and durable."
• "These straps do the trick and they do it well. I've had them for 6 months and they seem extremely durable so far. Super comfortable."
• "Heavy duty wrist wraps with solid stitching and comfortable padding at a price that can't be beat."

Cons:

• "Ive had them for about a month and now I have to find some other ones because these won’t last."
• "As you can see from the photos, the ends are beginning to fray a little bit, and the camo design has faded quite significantly."
• "These ripped in half during the middle of my lift after only 4 months of use."
• "These straps are very cheap and the stitching comes off extremely easy."
• "I was happy with these for a year until the stitching on one of them ripped."
• "Almost immediately after the first use some thread became loose."

Comfort and Fit

Pros:

• "He loves the design, says they are super comfortable, and makes it very easy to handle more difficult weights."
• "They’re very comfortable to use (material and fit) and feel really good on heavy lifts."
• "The pads on the wrists portion helps to make lifts more comfortable especially as you increase in weight."
• "These straps save my forearms from excessive wear! They are durable and high quality. Also, they are very comfortable around the wrist."
• "The pad around the wrist is very comfortable."
• "They're also very comfortable."
• "Very comfortable and great quality."

Cons:

• "I have small wrists and once it's looped around your wrist it doesn't sinch quite tight enough because it stops at the padding."
• "The extra foam padding does not provide any extra comfort. Over all feels very cheap."
• "But once you’re deadlifting with higher weight, they can pull on your wrist a little bit too much and it causes discomfort and pain."
• "I bought these because I thought they would be comfortable since they are padded, the problem is that the padding is in the wrong place."
• "I thought the padding in the inside might make them more comfortable, but because I have small wrists, it does not make a difference."
• "Not the greatest choice for skinny or small wrists."
• "The weights pull the wrist band down and into your skin."

Design and Aesthetics

Pros:

• "Look absolutely awesome and feel great."
• "I love the American flag design I got and they have held up to abuse in the gym and in hand washing to clean them."
• "I’ve gotten a ton of compliments and Muricas while lifting with these on."
• "The 'Merica design is cool too. Would recommend."
• "I love the skull one because it looks cool and the skulls are rubber and provide extra grip."
• "I purchased the 'skulls' pattern and they look pretty cool."
• "Love the American flag design! I get compliments on these a lot at the gym."

Cons:

• "Holes were too small for normal size hands."
• "Overall the quality seems high, but its just poor designed."
• "They work great for the money but the black ones are black and pink not black and red as shown in the picture just a heads up…"
• "They both are designed the same direction so one strap is not going to match the position that would be optimal for your right hand."
• "For being name brand, these straps are poorly made. Edges are falling apart straight out of the package and they are labeled for 2 left hands."
• "These are not designed well."
• "The problem is the neotek material is not strong enough to support the stitching and rips through."

Functionality and Performance

Pros:

• "They didn’t take long to figure out how to use and they make my lifts a lot stronger."
• "I use these for deadlifts so I don't keep ripping my palms up."
• "They make lifting PRs so much easier."

• "They work really well, on my first try I was able to get back up to my usual deadlift max with little discomfort."
• "I've been using it for a couple of weeks now. Works great and i've had no problems with it yet. Deadlift 365lb with it and no sign of tears. Quality seems to be great!"
• "These straps are perfect! They didn’t come with instructions so if your new to straps I suggest YouTubing on how use them. I love mine and very durable!"

Cons:

• "Only if you’re very good at getting these straps wrapped tightly on the first try, these will work great for you but forget about trying to crank them tighter because your palms won’t be able to grip the straps tight enough to tighten them."
• "These are only good for heavy lifting, not good for quick sets and higher intensity."
• "The wrist straps ripped immediately after 2 sets of my first workout."
• "Broke while deadlifting 3 plates, could've cause a serious injury."
• "Picked up 450 and I felt the right side drop a little. Dropped the bar, half the threads holding the strap together were ripped, and the left side ones were loose enough I could pull them apart with almost no effort."
• "Strap started tearing on first use. Lasted 3 sessions before completely ripping in half."
• "Simple deadlifting 280lb (127kg for the non americans) ripped the strap right underneith the handslot when doing multiple reps."
