Why this gift works
Harbinger Padded Cotton Lifting Straps are a pair of 21.5-inch cotton straps, 1.5 inches wide, that wrap around the bar to reduce grip fatigue on heavy pulls such as deadlifts and rows. Each has a plush NeoTek pad to cushion the wrist, merrowed ends to prevent fraying and heavy-duty stitching. This listing is black, and Harbinger gives them a 90-day warranty.
On heavy pulling days, grip often fails before the muscles being trained. Straps let a lifter finish the set, which is why many lifters keep a pair in the bag. They are an inexpensive, useful gift for anyone who deadlifts or rows heavy.
Who is this gift for?
Great for
- A lifter who deadlifts heavy
- Someone whose grip fails on rows
- Filling out a gym gift
Think twice if
- They train grip on purpose
- They need wrist support for pressing
The catch
They come in one length only, the warranty is just 90 days, and they help grip on pulls - they are not wrist wraps and do not support the wrist when pressing.
Skip if they are training grip strength on purpose, or already own a pair they like.

What to look for in lifting straps
- Material. Cotton is soft and grips the bar well; this pair is cotton.
- Padding. Wrist pads stop the strap digging in on heavy sets.
- Length. Longer straps wrap the bar more times; 21.5 in is a common length.
