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 Review

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…

Update: ordered these things last April and it's noise February. Lifted with these straps pretty regular at weights ranging from 325# to 500#. There are no stress tears or stitch wear. They are holding up well. I highly recommend them.This is my first pair of lifting straps. I have arthritis in my fingers and it affects my grip. I have not been able to reach my full potential on deadlifts and other pulls because of this. I watched some videos and read some reviews to gain knowledge on straps…

So far these straps are LEGIT! I am old school in workout style, supplements, and gear. I used a pair of leather straps for years and years and then misplaced them. I hate cotton straps and all the gimmick straps out there. These straps are baddass. Thick leather straps with a neoprene pad for cushioning on the back of your wrist. They are naturally pretty stiff out of the package but will soften up nicely with a few uses. The straps not only look baddass but they give you good confidence…

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…

I tried the weighted belt and loved it and decided I should try their straps. I have very small wrists so I was worried about how they would fit. At first the leather was not very soft and was not ucomfortable. I felt regret but didn’t bring any others so I continued to use them. By the end of the workout I had broken them in and they felt great. I was easily wrapping dumb bells and bars comfortably. The suede leather is double layered with tons of stitching to keep it secured. Without straps I

The product itself I do not have much experience yet, but wanted to give a feedback of the customer service. I got the pair quickly, but one of the items had slightly different material. I sent a message to Dark Iron to notify, not to return nor complain, just to inform the manufacturer of possible quality issue. They replied immediately and send me, not a new item, but new pair of straps. I was impressed and I'm very happy for the service I got. The product itself feels very good and only time

I purchased these so I may max out on my deadlifts. I am a female and weigh 120 lbs. I find that when I deadlift anything over 150 lbs, my grip starts to give out so I purchased these straps to do heavier lifts. I have used other straps before and so far these are by far my favorite straps! These give me amazing grip and allow me to successfully hold onto the barbell till the end of my set. In this photo I am doing a set of 6 reps at 185 lbs. These straps are very easy to wrap around the…

I bought these mostly for heavy deadlifts so I can concentrate on the lift & not trying to keep the bar from slipping out of my hands. The padding for the wrists is very comfortable & the straps don't dig into them. I like the feel of the suede as is adds to the grip on the bar & in my hands. They're plenty long enough to get 2 good wraps (with a little extra) on a bar for a good hold. There's six rows of stitching across them & they seem to be holding up well except for one spot where a stitch

These are the best straps I have used.ever! Unlike other straps that I have used they do not dig in to your wrists while you are lifting. They are very easy to adjust both on your wrist and around the bar. They have excellent "bite" and yet you can easily twist them around the bar and they will tighten up quite snug and stay that way. I have used these grips now for about three months and I have not one single complaint. They are one of the few products that I have bought in my life…

So full disclosure. I am receiving a refund for this review. However, this is my honest opinion of the product. I was considering buying a strap for my deadlifts. My working weight is doable for my body but I found I was losing reps because my hands were giving out. After getting these, I was able to move up in weight and go farther in reps. I would think I would see this progress shortly in my muscles. They are easy to use and seem very durable. Also, they are comfortable without any break in…

So far so good with these straps. It feels great not to have to reverse grip on higher deadlift weights. The product description states these were tested to hold 400lbs, so we'll see if they make it to that weight for me. I'm wondering if those with torn straps were going beyond that weight.I have skinny wrists, so I was surprised to find that the wrap itself was just right, and only wraps the bar up to my thumb. This is enough for me, but would probably be a tad short for someone with big…

EDIT: I think they sent me two of the same side straps? They both seem to be for left hands - once it is looped, the strap should be facing between your thumb and pointer finger, but both point the same way so it's not comfortable in my right hand and it's hard to wrap around the bar. Unfortunately returning.Well made, comfortable, quality straps.

Just a first impression as I’ve only had the chance to use them once. First off, they were well packaged in bubble wrap. Probably don’t need to be but it’s a nice touch. They’re made out of very supple leather. I was concerned at first because of how soft they were but they held up against the bar perfectly fine. Very comfortable and just as easy to use as cotton. The colors and stitching are on point. The only concern I have is the padding that sits on the back of your wrist. Not sure how that

I got this to help with my weight training program. I have noticed my grip giving out before my target muscle so I needed something to help me keep the weight in my hand. These straps do just that. The straps are made of a very thick leather and are double stitched all around. I have noticed though that after just a couple of months of use that some of the threads are already beginning to fray. Another thing to note about these is that they are stiff! This may be good or bad for u but for me…

The weightlifting straps are sturdy but too complicated to wrap around each time I change the weights of my deadlifts. The weightlifting pads work much better for me.

I love these lifting straps. Soft leather, and great padding make for a comfortable experience when holding heavy weight. The only reason these get a 4-Star review is because they are not usable to people with smaller wrists. The thickness of the padding is good, but the width of the padding restricts how tightly you can cinch the strap down. With my wife's wrists, cinching them all the way down to the padding still left enough space for them to slide over her hands and rested on her thumbs…

I had a pair of these before and lost one so I tried a few of my friends wraps and they were all crap. Therefore I reordered these because in my opinion they are hands down the best straps. Thin enough to give you a tight grip and sturdy enough to hold up to the task at hand. These are a suede material give far superior grip and durability than any cotton counterparts. If your a serious deadlifted than these are your new best friends!

I bought these straps for my training, which I would classify as the strength/power-lifting type. SInce my personal goal is to lift heavier weights, or volume work with relatively high weights (+400lb), I opted for the 3mm option. These straps are amazing because they are comfortable in my hand, perfect length, but most importantly they feel STRONG. I have used these straps on Rogue Ohio power bar (aggressive knurling) and they hold up. In my opinion, every strength trainee needs a decent pair…

I recently bought the weight lifitng belt from Dark Iron Fitness and was looking for some straps, so I decided to give these a try since I was satisfied with the belt already. They are great, they provide great support, but they are also very comfortable. I compared them with some other ones and I could really feel the difference the material made. They gave me all the support I needed (crucial when deadlifting heavy weights) but most importantly they didn't hurt my wrists at all since they are

At some points in deadlift progress, you may be limited by grip strength rather than by lower body strength. At those points, these straps are very helpful.They work very well, but as is often the case with heavy lifts, you have to be careful to use them correctly, with proper technique. They need to wrap around the base of the hand, not the wrist. It takes some practice, but definitely rewards the investment of effort.
