Pug 5 I was confused whether to go for this product or another higher end branded product. But in the end, decided to get this one. Overall, this is a good product. It definitely helped me lift heavier weights without hurting my wrist. Earlier my wrist would pain after bench press, bicep curls, shoulder press, etc, but after using this, it no longer hurts like it used to. There has been no irritation from the material - it is pretty soft. I cannot comment on durability since I have been using it for 1 week only, but I think it is good. You won't regret it buying at this price.
