Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)I'm going to break this item down into a couple areas and rate each to make this review more fair.
Do they work? - 4 STARS
Yes they are straps and they do function well in this regard. I don't think they are super easy to wrap the bar though, not the easiest that I have found I guess. Still less work than full lifting straps. They also seem to work well for pressing, the wrist wraps offer good support and for someone who doesn't wear gloves regularly I am sure my hands will appreciate not getting as chewed up. But I have to point out that I used to use the Shiek dowel wraps and for pulling they are just as good and I found them easier to wrap.
Cost - 2 STARS
Wayyyy overpriced. Even if they last years they are still overpriced. Sure they are multi-use but come on. Regular straps can be had for like $5. Even the more expensive Shiek products are half this price and yes that is with the fancy wrist wraps. I just cant recommend paying this much when there are other and arguably better and cheaper options that work just as well.
Now these do get bonus points for being stylish and trendy. Go to their site and they show all the pros and all the pictures of them being used that are in all the magazines. I should point out that in the latest Flex there's a picture of Silvio Samuel having these same straps tearing on him during a 650lb dead lift and I'm betting that picture wont be on their site anytime soon. But yeah they seem to be the cool thing now so you might get some thrill out of that at the gym.
Overall I will use these since I bought them but if I had it to do over I would of stuck with the Shiek dowel straps that are less than half the price found here

I am expecting some negative feedback on this review because I didn't gush about how terrific these are. And looking at the reviews I also looked at the "see all my reviews" and see that most of the reviewers here have ONLY reviewed this one item, some of the other ones seem to have identity problems. "Paul" also reviewed a sports bra and someone saying they shrug 600lbs seems to have reviewed (and loved) a very female dress! So yeah I'm sort of questioning a few of the reviews and I suggest you do the same before you spend your $.
