High quality, comfortable, would defo recommend as an essential for all pull days!
Lift heavier. Target better.
DARKSTIMS Suede Leather Lifting Straps take grip out of your back training. Wrap them around the bar, lock in, and keep the tension on your lats and upper back instead of losing the set to forearm fatigue.
Why suede leather straps?
- Grippy suede finish that holds the bar and stays put.
- Soft against the wrist, so they stay comfortable through long sessions.
- Easy to release: unwrap and you're free, unlike figure 8 straps.
- Built to last with extra-strong reinforced stitching.
How to use lifting straps
- Put your hand through the loop so the loose end runs across your palm.
- Wrap the loose end around the bar, going under and back over towards you.
- Roll the bar towards you to tighten the strap, then grip over the top.
- Repeat on the other side. To release, open your hand and unroll the strap.
Best for
Deadlifts • Barbell and dumbbell rows • Lat pull-downs • Pull-ups • Shrugs • Rack pulls
Leather vs cotton vs figure 8
- Suede leather (these): softer feel, strong grip on the bar, premium finish. The all-rounder for back day.
- Woven straps: lighter and cheaper. See our Lite Lifting Straps from £8.
- Figure 8: maximum lock-in for your heaviest deadlifts and shrugs. See our Figure 8 Lifting Straps.

FAQs
Are leather lifting straps better than cotton?
Leather and suede feel softer on the wrist and grip the bar well. Cotton and woven straps are lighter and cheaper. Both do the job; it comes down to feel.
Will lifting straps make my grip weaker?
Not if you use them smartly. Train your warm-ups and lighter sets without straps, then strap up for your heaviest working sets.
How do I look after suede straps?
Let them air-dry after sweaty sessions and keep them away from direct heat.

Class. 10/10
Absolutely Awesome!!! Best straps I have ever used!!
Can’t fault them, tried a few different straps in the past and these are by far the best. Amazing quality and so comfortable.
Holds the grip perfectly
Haven't been used yet as they're a Christmas gift. They arrived quickly and packaged well. They appear to be of string and durable quality. Company are efficient and fast at shipping. I Recommend!!
super comfortable to use at high weights, good quality and simple but effective design
Fantastic quality
I’ve used multiple different kinds of straps while lifting, however none compare to these. The length combined with the material ensures i’m strapped in tight to whatever movement I am doing.
These are perfect. The appearance : 5 stars. Look incredible, lovely colour, beautiful stitching, beautiful design. The quality : 5 stars. Feels incredible, secure and handles incredible load. Works as intended. Not anything to say other than you should 100% buy these.
awesome quality, amazing leather and really good length to them. definitely will seem to last a lifetime.
They’re so comfy and secure takes grip out of any back exercise you do and also a clean look
This is my first time using leather wrist straps and honestly feel a huge benefit over the ones I was using previously, the grip is a lot tighter and don’t find them slipping during sets which is awesome.
was considering supporting you for a while, saw you were having a discount live on so i bought these andsome other bits, I cant believe the quality of these, absolutely amazing will be buying again
Excellent product, quality is unreal, solid investment
