Harbinger 133 FlexFit Wash & Dry Gloves (Black) Review

Harbinger 133 FlexFit Wash & Dry Gloves (Black)I've been a weight lifter for many years and have gone through MANY gloves. These are by far the best I've owned. One reason I love them is that they are not intrusive at all. The softer leather and flex section make them a pleasure to wear. They also for some reason seem to grip the bar better then any other glove I've owned. They also have the right amount of gel in the palms, if there was any more it would be annoying, so the girly men just have to look elsewhere! They do wear a little faster than other gloves, but not thats to be expected with the softer leather and flex sections, but is worth it since they are so great to wear. I give these gloves a beating 4 times each week and still on the same pair I've had for over a year. Would definately recomend!

Product Description
Harbinger's FlexFit Wash and Dry Training Glove is made of 100 percent machine washable and dryable leather which means that this glove will get softer and more supple with each laundering. It will also last longer because you can remove the sweat, grime, and bacteria that builds up after multiple workouts, keeping it feeling and looking like new. The FlexFit glove features Harbinger's TechGel Comfort Pads that mold to your hands, protecting them from the stresses of active training. In addition, the adjustable wrist closures provide a snug but comfortable fit. The short finger length reduces unwanted bulk and the NoSweat lining wicks moisture away from your skin.

Harbinger 213 21 1/2-Inch Classic Neoprene Padded Lifting Straps Review

This product is pretty much just how it is listed. Works well and doesn't slip, no real complaints. Doesn't look as good as it does in the photo though.

Product Description
Boost your lifting performance without sacrificing comfort with this pair of neoprene padded lifting straps. Measuring 21 inches long and 1.5 inches wide, each strap offers 5 mm of foam padding to protect your hands during lifting. As a result, your hands won't develop nasty calluses as you perform pull-ups, seated rows, and other upper body exercises. Even better, the straps wrap tightly around the bar to increase traction and maximize gripping strength, helping you lift more weight than ever before. A must for lifters trying to develop strength or add bulk, the 1.5-inch wide straps offer 20 percent more gripping area than typical straps.

Harbinger Classic Bar Pad Neo Tek Foam Core Review

The foam on this is nice, as is the soft-touch alcantara-like covering.However, it is just a little too small to close around an olympic bar.

Product Description
Harbinger's Bar Pad wraps around the weight lifting bar to protect your neck and shoulders with 15 millimeter NeoTek foam. This bar pad, which fits all standard sized bars, is 14 inches long and can be used by lifters of all levels. The suede cover increases comfort and durability and can be wiped clean after use.

Harbinger 21800 Lifting Hook Review

This is good for doing deadlifts but not for chin ups as it doesn't feel right on the wrist, it takes some weight off the fingers but not a piece of cake.

Product Description
Neoprene padded wrist support keeps your wrist in the proper position during lifting, preventing hyperextension

Harbinger 46700 72-Inch Power Knee Wrap (White) Review

I got these straps because I thought they fit my needs better than the "heavy duty" ones, which are described in a way that makes you think they are for big-time power lifters only. I was wrong. I may not be that hard-core, but these are inadequate for doing heavy squats. If you are at all serious about lifting, get the thicker straps with the red stripe. They are probably not as beafy as you might think.

Product Description
Heavy weight elastic fabric offers maximum wrist stability and positioning

Harbinger Pro Cotton Lifting Straps Review

Harbinger Pro Cotton Lifting StrapsThese are fantastic straps.They have a different way of fastening around the wrist the the cheap ones.The cheaps straps tighten up to uncomfrtable levels when using heavy weight.The Harbinger Lifting Straps do not have the problem.

My only complaint with this product is the other guys in the gym like to run off with them.This is my 4th set!

Product Description
Harbinger Pro Cotton Lifting Straps feature a 5mm neoprene padded wrist wrap that secures the lifting strap in the proper position and provides maximum cushioning during lifting. 11.5" woven cotton strap improves grip. Stainless steel buckle secures wrist support and customizes fit. Heavy duty stitching strengthens the strap and increases durability. Designed with a right and a left (steel buckle should be worn on outside of wrist). Fully adjustable.

Harbinger 155 Power StretchBack Glove (Black) Review

Harbinger 155 Power StretchBack Glove (Black)These gloves are of a good quality, though have a strong smell (leather dye, I assume).I am using them almost daily, and they cusion palms and fingers nicely.The velcro on the back is slightly uncomfortable, probably due to the sie being too small.I ordered gloves in medium size, but they are too small for my relatively small hands.If you think you need medium, you, probably, should order large.I am giving 4 stars for the size issue, but the quality and price combination is very good.

Product Description
Harbinger's Power StretchBack Glove is a great, economical performance glove. This glove features StretchBack Lycra that extends along the back of the hand and in between the fingers, increasing flexibility, comfort, and fit while improving breathability. A reinforced thumb, double-leather palm, and fingers backed with foam protect hands from training abrasion. Harbinger's Power StretchBack Glove sports an adjustable wrist closure for a snug fit, and the short finger length gives you a natural feel and increased contact with the lifting surface.

Harbinger 143 Men's Pro FlexClosure Wash & Dry Gloves Review

Harbinger 143 Men's Pro FlexClosure Wash & Dry GlovesI've gone through several gloves over the years(whether from wear and tear or just losing them) and I've got to highlight these as quality gloves.

Weightlifting gloves don't always cover up to the middle of the fingers, so calluses form in the middle even if the bottom of the fingers don't. These glove-fingers cover up just past this section of the finger when the hand is flexed.

Also, the light breathable back limits the heat buildup from heavier gloves. Wrist wraps have never actually protected my wrists, if you can't keep your wrists straight, a wrist wrap sure as hell won't be enough to hold it for you. The marginal benefit does not justify the presence of wrist wraps and they're thankfully absent from this glove.

The leather here is soft,flexible, and PROPERLY PLACED. Avoid the other Harbinger lifting glove models at all costs, the padding seam in the thumbsection is driven straight into the bone, whereas this pad's seam runs smooth. Another nice feature is that unlike my other gloves, the material doesn't shrink in the wash, so it can be tossed into the laundry instead of having to be handwashed like most gloves. (And you need to wash lifting gloves since gyms are horrendously bacteria-ridden, in addition to the odor).

Product Description
Specially designed for men, this pair of Harbinger Pro gloves is ideal for all-purpose training and frequent weightlifting. The gloves are distinguished by their stretch "ventilator mesh" construction, which lets the hand and fingers bend naturally while staying cool, along with the abrasion-resistant leather on the palm, which maximizes glove wear. The gloves stay secure and snug, meanwhile, thanks to the adjustable wrist closures. And lifters will love the short finger length, which reduces unwanted bulk. Perhaps the best feature, however, is the easy-to-clean fabric, which is 100-percent machine washable and dryable. Also outfitted with wrap-around thumb cushions, the gloves are available in natural and black colors.

This was the first time I ordered such a product and love it.Its easy to carry to class and gives enough padding for my back problem.Since most exercise studios only have the thin Pilates mat, this gives extra cushioning and padding on most wood and cement floors.

Sit-ups will be a pleasure as you lie back on the sweat-resistant, zippered vinyl covering that is a snap to wipe down after use.

Harbinger 340303 Durafoam Exercises Mat 5/8" x 24" x 72" (Red) Review

This mat provides excellent padding and traction for the exercises I do which include situps and kneeing on my basement concrete floor. It is also easy to clean and stow away. At 5/8", it is one of the thickest mats not for gymnastics or martial arts that I could find. Highly recommended.

Product Description
Ideal for stretching, yoga, Pilates, and floor exercises, Harbinger's ribbed, rolled Durafoam mat makes floor workouts far more comfortable. The mat is made of 5/8-inch-thick closed-cell Durafoam, a soft, pliable material with a cushion-like feel. The mat's nonskid ridges, meanwhile, grip the floor securely to prevent injuries and create a more stable performance. And users will love the mat's moisture-resistant skin, which is easy to clean--a must after a particularly sweaty workout session. The mat, which includes an integrated strap to make carrying and storing easy, measures 24 inches wide by 72 inches long. The mat carries a 90-day warranty.
