To those considering a purchase... If you're thinking about buying, please do (laughs). (I don't like those kinds of comments, so I'll write this first. Sorry...) These are wrist straps for training. (I've opened them once for photography and inspection, but they are new and unused.) Power grips are famous in this genre, but straps offer superior hold. Especially for women, some may not be able to hold on with power grips. Also, power grips are mostly made of rubber, so there aren't many color options, and they might not be very stylish. These straps have a classic design, but they come in colors that are popular with women, and the fabric isn't too thick, making them easy to wrap. So, how about these for women who want a different design from others and who are already doing some training? I also have other colors available.
