Schiek Sports Model 1000LLS Leather Weight Lifting Straps

I've had these for a few years now and they've held up very well. Some commenters thought the label patch on the wrist is an inflexible material, but it's actually just a soft cotton label. They feel tight on the wrists when new because that part is hard to break in just with use (the part of the strap that goes around the wrists doesn't get twisted around a bar or anything like that). Instead, store them in a tight coil, perhaps with a rubber band holding it in place. After a few weeks, they'll be perfectly soft and flexible. Same for thick leather belts.

Awesome straps; they don’t chafe the hell out of your wrists when moving heavy weight. Once they get broken in, they are soft and supple, and work great. I’ve bought 4 pairs of these over the last 15 years, usually because i lose one of the straps.

First, someone shipped the wrong item. But the return went smoothly and what I ordered arrived arrived 2 days later, perfect condition. These are a very solid set of straps and to me, worth the wait.

I've been using the same pair of Schiek leather straps for 4-5 years and loved them. They were soft and a little stretchy, which allowed for a better grip on the bar. Unfortunately eventually they started ripping. I bought these ones as a replacement but alas they are not the same. They seem to be much stiffer, especially on the edges, and are unpleasant on the palms. I don't use gloves - and frankly never felt the need, as the straps I had before acted in that capacity and protected the skin on my palms. These ones might require gloves (if you care about keeping callouses on your hands in check). I am hoping the new straps will eventually become softer but it's been a month and so far there isn't much improvement. Also they seem to be shorter in length than my previous ones - no big deal but I do miss that extra inch and a half my old straps gave me. All that being said, these straps appear tough and durable.

I ran into grip problems due to sweaty palms doing deadlifts. As the gym i go to does not allow chalk, only gloves or straps i opted for straps. They arrive much softer than i expected which was nice. Initial use proved excellent, great bar hold, soft feel, no slip, easy to tighten and release. I was told cloth is the most common, but preferred going for leather straps for a more familiar feel and less sweat absorption. . They can get a solid 2-1/2 wraps on a standard olympic bar, which was plenty enough for my hands to hold without direct bar contact. My first use turned into a personal record. Highly recommend If i had a complaint, it's superficial - leather break in... which should be expected anyways. I have not tried cloth straps, but would highly recommend these if you're looking for a higher durability than cloth/synthetic straps.

The texture of these wraps are the best. It just so happens to be a grear performer as well. The strap stays locked in the loop because of the threaded design. The loops inside texture limits any movement outside of the straps making sure your grip stays where you want it and thus allowing you to lift more in style and comfort!

My cloth scraps just didn't cut it anymore, they were so slippery and barely helped my grip. I decided to try leather ones and these are a game-changer! The heavy barbell now feels so secure in my hands, I no longer feel like they're slipping out during higher reps. The straps break in fairly easily, after 1-2 uses they're perfect. Even during the 1st two uses they didn't cut didn't into my wrists. These are so perfect, I'm so happy I found them. I'm a woman with very small wrists, so I cut 3.5 inches off.

The straps I received have a different quality of leather. One was more true grain and the other was more plastic-like. This results in them having a different capacity to tighten on the wrist

Stabil, angenehm zu tragen, gut zu wickeln!

These leather lifting straps arrived in reasonable time as stated by sender.Have used them many a workout now and find then good on back days so would recommend them.

Although they came out of the same package one is very soft as if its been used for a long time and the other one is very stiff to the point of hurting my wrist, the soft one definitely seems used Although thats probably not the case, but it's leaving a huge mess everywhere with crums of material, I regret buying these weird and overpriced straps and I just threw them in the bin, have some quality control please.

Es sind und bleiben meine Lieblings Zughilfen. Sie sehen gut aus, fühlen sich angenehm weich an nach dem eintragen und halten alles aus. Könnte nichts besser machen. Sie sehen nach mittlerweile 2 Jahren Nutzung auch etwas mitgenommen aus, aber funktionieren wie am ersten Tag

Etwas gewöhnungsbedürftig, aber dann richtig guter Gripp! Allerdings sind beide Zughilfen etwas unterschiedlich in der Festigkeit, was sich bis heute leider nicht geändert hat. (dh. eine Seite ist etwas "steifer" als die andere)
