Solid Lifting Straps (updated)

2nd Update: contacted the company through Ebay and got a response immediately. Without question they stood by their warranty which is appreciated. I would prefer they either update their warranty information to direct people to Ebay or start answering their email provided, but either way, simple to get ahold of and quick response to the warranty claim (once I got ahold of them)Update: removing a star due to the inability to reach this company. The straps have started to wear significantly to the point where I feel I am only a few weeks from a tear and ultimate failure of the strap. While this has lasted much longer than my previous straps, these came with a "simple lifetime warranty". I have tried multiple emails to the company, responded to their promotional emails and have now tried to contact on Ebay as nothing has warranted even a response back, let alone a solution to the pending failure of the straps. They are still the best I have used, but why advertise a lifetime warranty if you wont support it.This will be my 4th pair of lifting straps and by far my favorite. I have used more traditional cotton straps for the last 5 years but ran into a problem a few months ago when our gym picked up a new deadlift bar. The flex of the bar made the lifts much more natural, but the knurling on it was very aggressive. After 3 uses it had cut through almost a third of my old straps. I picked these up as a replacement and I am impressed so far. They are showing some wear and the stitching has been damaged, but they are holding together and haven't been impacted in a way to affect the lift.With the above said, some general notes about these. They are certainly more heavy duty than other straps which is a big plus. They are comfortable on the wrist with only minor pinching (not sure this can be avoided in weight over 405lbs). They do start off stiff, but I found them to break in rather quickly, only a few uses. The straps do leave a bit of a black stain on the hand, but whatever, you are in the gym.Overall, these are great straps. While I do believe I will need to replace them due to the bar I use, they come with a simple lifetime replacement.TLDR: go with these over a slightly cheaper cotton strap.
