Bought these the other day, think delivery was £3. If you look around you might find cheaper but in total I think the order was €6 so you can't really go wrong. Have only used them once since getting them and they do the trick

me too - wrist wraps and straps are not the same just so others know.

personally find i have to have my wraps in most sessions or i feel something is missing

At the risk of sounding like a bit of a tool....what benefit would wraps give me when lifting? I never use straps, wraps, chalk or any aid really and i dunno maybe i'm just not lifting heavy enough.....YET!

Straps help with holding the bar, chalk is for grip, and wraps are for support.
Then there is boxing wrist/hand wraps

The OP still never clarified what he was looking for, I though of wrists wraps too.

Might get wrist wraps myself. I sprained my wrist yesterday trying to do power-cleans. I assume the wraps would help against this? If so, have you any recommendations?

Actually want to get some wraps myself.

Has anyone used Eleiko wraps? Was thinking of getting them but they look a little 'soft'.

Any recommendations for weightlifting? Might just get a short powerlifting type.

The eleikos are really soft, but you get used to them.

I was using a set of PL ones today, they're okay once you wrap them loose.

I actually think i left my wraps in Morton Stadium, they're blue ones, if you can find them you're welcome to them.

Op, unless your doing power lifting of some sort, I wouldn't bother using them. I have only ever used them when doing heavy deadlifts (about 150kg up). I used them a lot at one time, but then realised they were limiting progress with my grip strength and therefor forearm growth, so I stopped using them.
My 2 cents worth.

Edit, just saw it was straps, not wraps, nevermind!

i use titan ones - http://www.pullum-sports.co.uk/accessories/wrist-wraps/titan-thp-wrist-wraps/prod_41.html

I find i have to replace them once every 5-6 months

Really helpful for OH squats and oly lifting in general

Have wraps but to be honest never use them and would recommend some good long farmers walk instead

Found them wraps.

I'll hold onto them and give them to you if I see you again or else I'll give them to byrdie.
