TweetI have some straps that have lasted a lifetime made from kevlar, dont remember the company but a guy at my old gym used to get boat loads of them and they are damn good, have them a few years without any rips/tears or really much wear and i use them for heavy back movements, heavy trap movements and thats about it. Harbinger are descent straps as well. I dont like gloves, you can really get a good grip though i just dont wear them.
