Fitgriff

The failure nobody else names

Which shelves it reaches

Lifting straps and wrist wraps.

Fraying

The wraps publish a special outer face that reduces fraying to a minimum.

Hook-and-loop is abrasive by design, and a wrap is pulled off perhaps thirty times a session. Threads pull, the fabric fuzzes, the closure grips worse, so it gets pulled tighter.

It is the only listing on that shelf to name the problem.

Turns, not just length

The straps publish a professional length of just under 60 cm and state that the bar takes two or three turns of it.

Every strap on that shelf publishes a length or does not. This is the only one that says what the length buys — and turns are how a strap holds.
