Review on Dark Iron Fitness Weightlifting Leather Suede Lifting Wrist Straps Bundle For Men And Women Wraps Weight For A Heavy Powerlifting Grip Hooks With Padded Support by Shane Grosland

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Love the idea but the stitching can come undone

I bought the 2mm back in May 2019 to use for deadlifts. I train with the 5x5 StrongLifts Program and at the moment my deadlift is at 300lbs and on average use it 2x per week, I mention this because the manufacturer mentions that 2mm are good for <400lbs.So not sure what happened to mine but after roughly a month of use the stitching for one of the wraps was coming apart. This may be caused by the friction and abrasion created by the leather being cranked tight when wrapping around the barbell knurling. However this is what the product is supposed to do!The reason this is important is because the stitching provides support to the leather so it does not stretch under heavy use. So when the stitching started to unravel and was sheared the leather wrap started to stretch and I fear it may rip at some point.I REALLY want to like this product because it is so comfortable, but the durability for one of my wraps may have turned out to be a lemon. I would strongly suggest that the manufacturer consider using a stronger thread like Kevlar in order to resist the friction and abrasion.
