hpkSTRAPZ are the world's first Soft Straps
The Essential Training Tool
Why use straps?
Straps are an essential training tool for both the beginners who are starting their journey in resistance training and for advanced lifters or athletes who strive to exploit the utmost of their potential in each training session.
Straps eliminate the weakest point in the kinetic chain for any isolation or compound movement pattern that involves your grip. They create a mechanical advantage to overcome the limitations of your grip strength and grip endurance.
Using straps as a beginner - it assists in building confidence and allows you to focus on proprioception to build good movement patterns. For advanced lifters, using straps allows you to push beyond the limits of what is possible with when only using chalk - more weight, more reps - greater results.

Optimized Hybrid Design.
hpkSTRAPZ Soft-Straps are a hybrid style lifting strap. What does this mean? It means they have been designed to incorporate the best features from the two most common styles of straps: the Olympic and Power-lifting styles.
The Olympic weightlifting strap generally has a shorter tail and a closed loop for the wrist. It is particularly good for rapid disengagement from a lift to avoid injury. The Power-lifting style is designed to choke the wrist and encourage maximum mechanical advantage with either an extra long tail or a figure-8 design to avoid potential disengagement during a lift.
hpkSTRAPZ Soft-Straps are designed to provide the best of both worlds - the ability to immediately and safely disengage (like the Olympic style) and a tail length that will provide sufficient mechanical advantage for maximal loads.

Advanced Material.
hpkSTRAPZ Soft-Straps are the world's first inherently soft straps. This unique softness and the hpkSTRAPZ design are possible because of a miraculous material: Kevlar®. hpkSTRAPZ proudly constructs each Soft-Strap from 100% Kevlar® felt and a custom manufactured 100% Kevlar® thread.
Kevlar® is the Para Aramid fibre that was discovered and developed by Stephanie Kwolek, a polymer researcher at DuPont in the 1960's.
Kevlar® is stronger than steel* and is a material that will continue to "push the limits of possible."
Thank you, Stephanie.
