ORANGE FOREST Weight Lifting Straps, Double-Layer Leather and Neoprene Padding

The raised, double-layer leather grip is designed to add friction when you’re holding a bar, helping you focus on pulling movements instead of relying on bare-hand grip alone.

Neoprene padding sits against the wrist to provide cushioning, while an adjustable hook-and-loop closure makes the straps straightforward to put on and secure.

Supplied as a pair, these black lifting straps are intended for deadlifts, pull-ups, rows, shrugs and other strength-training exercises where a steadier hold can be useful.

What to know

ORANGE FOREST combines 0.16-inch-thick double-layer soft cowhide with widened, thickened neoprene wrist padding. The raised leather surface is designed to create extra friction against the bar, and the padding helps cushion the wrist during a set. The hook-and-loop fastening lets you adjust and secure each strap around your wrist.

This design is aimed at pulling exercises such as deadlifts, barbell rows, cable rows, upright rows, shrugs and pull-ups. It offers a different approach from training with a bare-hand grip: the leather strap adds a contact point between your hand and the bar, while the padded wrist section supports a more comfortable setup. The product description states a load capacity of up to 440 lbs without tearing, that figure is a listed product claim, not a substitute for correct setup and lifting technique.

Buyer feedback is varied. Some customers say the straps make holding weights easier during deadlifts and appreciate their solid feel. Others report mixed results with grip, comfort, fit and durability. The design details can help you decide whether you prefer leather contact with the bar and padded wrist support for your routine.

Tips for day-to-day use

Before a set, fasten the strap securely around your wrist and position the metal ring above the thick black padding, as directed in the product instructions. Set up both straps consistently, then make sure the leather is positioned to engage with the bar for the exercise you’re doing. A considered setup helps you use the wrist padding and raised leather surface as intended, whether you’re preparing for rows or a deadlift.

How to use it

Put a strap on each wrist and secure the hook-and-loop fastening. Place the metal ring on top of the thickened black padding before you begin. For a pulling movement, position the leather section around the bar so it can help maintain contact as you lift. Start your set with the straps arranged comfortably and keep your usual lifting form throughout.

For example, when setting up for barbell rows, the pair can give each hand a leather contact surface while the neoprene padding rests at the wrists. The same general purpose applies to deadlifts, shrugs and cable rows. These straps are designed for strength training rather than as a replacement for proper exercise technique.

Should you buy it?

It’s a good fit if your training includes deadlifts, rows, pull-ups or similar pulling work and you want a pair of straps that combines double-layer cowhide with padded, adjustable wrist closures. The raised leather grip and neoprene cushioning address two practical parts of a lifting setup: holding the bar and placing padding at the wrist. Choose them for a strap-based alternative to relying on bare-hand grip alone, with a design intended for both men and women.
