What Are Figure 8 Lifting Straps?
They are one length of webbing stitched into two loops shaped like the number 8. One loop goes over the wrist, and the other passes under the bar and back over the same hand.
There is no loose tail to wrap, so the hand stays locked to the bar. That is why strength customers choose them for maximal deadlifts, shrugs and rack pulls.
What Are the Figure 8 Strap Specifications?
| Specification | Options |
|---|---|
| Webbing | Cotton, basket-weave cotton or polyester |
| Width | About 1.5 inches |
| Overall length | About 15 inches, adjusted by size |
| Sizes | Small, medium and large by wrist circumference |
| Padding | None, or neoprene over each loop and the center seam |
| Stitching | Box stitching or over-stitched seams where the loops join |
Which Figure 8 Styles Can You Order?
Heavy Cotton
Thick, unpadded cotton webbing for a firm lock on the bar, the classic choice for deadlift and strongman brands.
Padded
Neoprene over each loop cushions the wrist and the seam, a comfortable option for customers who train often.
Printed Polyester
Polyester webbing carries sublimated colors and patterns edge to edge for design-led fitness brands.
Grip-Printed
Silicone print on the bar loop adds friction against smooth handles and gives the strap a branded finish.
How Is a Figure 8 Strap Sewn?
For every Oath and Oak build, the webbing is folded into two loops and joined in the middle, where box stitching or a bar tack locks the crossover point that carries the load.
Edges are sealed or bound to stop fraying, and padding goes on after the main seam is set. Other formats are part of our broader lifting straps range.
How Can You Customize Your Figure 8 Straps?
| Element | Customization Options |
|---|---|
| Logo | Woven label on the crossover, silicone or screen print on a loop |
| Webbing color | Solid colors, two-tone layouts or sublimated prints |
| Padding | Neoprene color and a printed logo |
| Stitching | Contrast thread at the crossover |
| Size marks | Printed size so customers pick the right pair |
Packaging, inserts and other routes are listed on our customization page.
How Are Figure 8 Straps Packed?
Each pair is folded flat into a polybag or a header card bag, with the size on the label so stores and warehouses pick the right pair every time.
Retail boxes and UPC or FNSKU labels are available, and master cartons are packed by size for easy receiving.
How Do Your Customers Pick the Right Size?
Wrist Fit
Each loop should slide over the hand and sit snug on the wrist, so sizes follow wrist circumference.
Loop Clearance
The bar loop must pass over the knuckles easily before it tightens, which matters most for larger hands.
Size Chart
A printed chart with wrist measurements on the packaging prevents most wrong-size returns and exchanges.
What Does the Figure 8 Sample Confirm?
The sample confirms loop size on real wrists, how the crossover stitching holds under a heavy pull and how the logo looks once the strap is on the bar.
Production cuts and sews every pair to that sample and checks each lot against it. Untested designs move through our product development stage first.
Which Quality Checks Cover Your Figure 8 Straps?
Alongside our standard quality control process, every lot is checked for:
- Loop length matched within each size
- Crossover stitching density and bar tacks
- Sealed or bound edges with no fraying
- Padding position and seam coverage
- Matching pairs and correct size labels
Standard Bar or Axle Size: Which Figure 8 Straps Should You Stock?
Thick axle bars used in strongman need a longer bar loop than a standard barbell, so some brands sell two versions.
| Feature | Standard Bar | Axle |
|---|---|---|
| Bar loop | Sized for a standard barbell | Longer loop for thick bars |
| Typical customer | Gym and powerlifting customers | Strongman athletes |
| Lifts | Barbell pulls from the floor or rack | Axle deadlifts and strongman events |
| Range role | Core product | Specialist add-on |
Launch with standard-bar sizing and add axle straps when your audience includes strongman athletes.

What Else Do Buyers Ask About Figure 8 Lifting Straps?
Still have a question?
Send your product details for a quote, or reach Oath and Oak through the contact page.
Do figure 8 straps need a break-in period?
Heavy cotton versions can feel stiff and bulky at first and soften after a few sessions. Padded and polyester builds feel comfortable sooner, which suits general gym customers.
Can figure 8 straps be used for Olympic lifts?
They are not suited to snatches or cleans because they do not release quickly. Point those customers to closed-loop straps, which let them drop the bar in an instant.
How do customers put figure 8 straps on?
Slide one loop over the hand, pass the other loop under the bar, then slide the same hand through it. A printed diagram on the header card makes first use simple.
Can you make figure 8 straps in leather?
Yes, on request. Leather figure 8 straps grip firmly and look distinctive, though they are stiffer at first and cost more than cotton. Most brands start in cotton and add leather later.
How many sizes should a new figure 8 line include?
Three sizes covering small, medium and large wrists suit most brands. Start with all three in black, then add colors once you see which sizes sell through.
