Our best-selling Vader Straps are the product that helped build the Onyx name. Since the very beginning, they've been trusted by Olympians, National Champions, World Team members, and thousands of athletes who demand uncompromising performance every time they step up to the bar. Handcrafted from premium pebbled chrome-tanned leather, these closed-loop leather lifting straps are exceptionally soft right out of the box, requiring virtually no break-in period while remaining strong enough for years of heavy pulls and demanding training. The teardrop design provides a quick, consistent setup while reducing grip fatigue during high-volume workouts and maximal lifts. Ideal for Olympic weightlifting, bodybuilding, CrossFit, powerlifting, and heavy dumbbell and barbell strength exercises—including snatches, cleans, clean pulls, snatch pulls, Romanian deadlifts, shrugs, rows, and deadlifts—the Vader Straps help you stay connected to the bar so you can focus on generating power, refining technique, and lifting heavier with confidence. Built by reps and proven through years of training and competition, they're the straps athletes reach for when performance matters most. Details: Black chrome-tanned cow hide Full grain pebbled leather No break-in period needed 2mm thick Black nylon bond thread and matte gold foil logo Sold as a pair Care Tips: For optimal care, it is highly recommended to let all leather items get some fresh air. Avoid stashing them in shipping bags – instead, hang them on the outside of your bag using one of our bag straps or tuck them away inside your bag with one of our mesh bags. Using our Onyx Oil every now and then is also advised to keep them in top shape. This helps shield them from the negative effects of chalk, sweat, and the wear and tear of training.
