Pioneer Fitness Suede Single Closed Loop / Olympic Lifting Straps

These are comfortable against the skin and work really well for me as I have small hands/wrists and grip was becoming a limiting factor particularly if I couldn't get the thinner barbells in the gym. These are great as they enable me to use any of the standard 20kg bars which otherwise are too thick for me. Great choice of colours too!

I’m a powerlifter, not a weightlifter, but I love these straps for volume work and/or lighter singles on deadlifts where you don’t necessarily want to feel ‘glued’ to the bar like you would with other styles of straps. Quality is incredible and the suede really does feel great on the wrists. Perfect for back-off work, volume, non-competition singles and isolation/accessory work. Less of a fuss to wrap around the bar than a lasso style, and keeps the bar in your natural grip position as opposed to the ‘lower-hanging’ grip you get with figure 8.

Very flexible straps that broke in nicely. They're really strong and I feel comfortable using them with heavy weights, and even on deadlifts on times that I have forgotten my other straps. Sometimes when doing cleans I wish they were a little bit longer but that may just be because of the size of my hands.

Straps are soft an ware in easily. My only complaint is, that the pair is identical instead symmetrical. Easy fix is to turn the label side of my left strap against my skin, but this creates friction on larger sets. W am removing the label completely, though it should not be my task, but the producers.

Otherwise perfect for Olympic lifts.
