I absolutely love these lifting straps. They are so lightweight and soft, but also SO strong! Easy to put on and use, they've never failed on me.

Best Straps I’ve Used – Worth the International Shipping

The vegan leather feels solid but doesn’t dig into my wrists like some cotton or nylon straps do. I’ve already pulled well over 200 kgs with these, and they’re holding up perfectly.

Care Instructions

Hand wash gently with warm water and mild detergent.

The Figure 9 loop design tightens under load, giving you a secure, adjustable wrap you can get on and off between sets — without re-wrapping from scratch every time.

Grip that doesn't quit & without the wrist dig.

Cork leather is naturally water-resistant, sweat-proof, and wipes clean after every session. It won't dig into your wrists the way cotton or nylon can, and unlike cowhide it doesn't absorb odour or stiffen over time. Lightweight enough to forget they're in your bag. Strong enough you'll never think about your grip again.

Designed for strength, built with integrity—these lifting straps don’t just enhance your grip and muscle gains; they also minimize your environmental footprint. Each pair is crafted using 14x less water and producing 85% less CO₂ than leather, all while remaining free from animal cruelty.

Ethically made with sustainable materials and with responsible, Fairtrade manufacturers - because your strength should never come at the expense of others.

Frequently Asked Questions

will these fit my wrists?

Yes. Our straps are a one size fits all. The adjustable loop of the Figure 9 straps accommodates all wrist sizes and fits standard barbells and dumbbells.

what exercises are these best for?

Deadlifts, Romanian deadlifts, barbell rows, rack pulls, shrugs, and lat pulldowns — any pulling movement where grip fatigue is limiting you before your target muscles do.

how do i use figure 9 straps?

Loop the longer end through the shorter to create the figure-9 shape, wrap around the bar, then wrap the tail in the opposite direction to lock in. Reach out if you would like a video on how to do it! It takes 30 seconds to learn.

figure 9 vs figure 8 — which one do i need?

Figure 9 straps use an adjustable loop you can slip on and off between sets — better for varied exercises and quick transitions. Figure 8s are fixed loops that lock you in for maximum-effort single lifts. If you're training across multiple pulling movements in a session, Figure 9 is the more versatile choice.
