I wanted to like these, got them for a comp in June and they have already started to fray/elastic tearing after two months. Not as snug anymore.

Just got these today, a little too late for bench press day. However, the fit and finish are A+. Just trying them on and cinching them tight tells me these are the best wrist wraps I’ve ever had. Perfect seams and stitching. The combo of phantom and guardian material is terrific. Love the pull through loop. Won’t miss the conventional thumb loop. Pioneer rules the platform.

These weost wraps are solid as can be. Hands down these are the best so far. My prior set were Inzer

Very nice product and very stiff. It gets the job done for sure! Takes a few weeks to break them in. I wish they had a thumb loops along with the through loop. I only brought these because the medium wrist wraps in 24" were sold out.

I probably could have gone with the 24inch, but the 36 inch immobilizes the wrist perfectly so I have one less thing to think about. Love the innovation of have a softer/stretchier wrap on the inside with a stiff/casting wrap on the outside.

It can be wrapped easily and without being intrusive and has good support.

The Chimera wrist wraps are now my new favorite. I have been weight training for 34 years and powerlifting for 20 years. I have worn wraps from all manufacturers and found the Pioneer wraps lasted the longest and provided a cast on my wrist. I used to shirt bench, and routinely hold 800 pounds in my hands. They gave me a stiff wrap I liked. I preferred the Silver Beast wraps, but I saw they were out of stock, so I took a chance and tried the Chimera wraps. One of the best decisions I have ever made. They are easy to put on; you can crank them tight and create a cast on the wrist. I was skeptical when first putting on the red light half the wrap, but once you put on the black stiff phenom, you know your wrist isn't going anywhere. I'm stunned more lifters don't wear these.

I’ve always preferred a more flexible wrist wrap over casted, but lately I’ve been having issues with my wrists so I decided to go with more support. Was originally going to order phantoms but I saw these and decided to try them. It’s a great idea and they’re very well made. My only concern was how well will they hold up over time, as they are literally two different wraps sewn together in the middle. (Keep this in mind when selecting your length. I ordered 36” to ensure I got an adequate amount of both.) Both individual wraps are very high quality and where they are sewn together is clearly very solid craftsmanship. After using them, I’d honestly be surprised if they did not hold up. They are definitely made with the quality that you’d expect from Pioneer. As a personal preference I wish they’d come with a thumb loop. I don’t “use” the thumb loop but I grip it in my hand to hold the wrap in place where I want it while cranking it, so it doesn’t roll around my wrist as I pull. This is just my preference though and they probably would add one if you emailed them prior to purchasing. Overall very good product.

I have been using these for a year or two and they are by far my favorite wrist wraps. The combination of the softer elastic with the stiffer is a great idea and makes them more comfortable to use in training and competition. I also have the Phantoms and they are just too rough to use in training all the time so these have ended up being my top wrist wrap.

These are far and away my favorite wrist wraps. I got turned on to them by none other than PhDeadlift, and I have no regrets. The combination of the flexible stretchy inner wrap and the stiff outer layer really synergize to make a form fitting and locked in connection to the bar. Quality as always is second to none.

Purchased both the 24” and 36” wraps after using el cheapo Amazon stuff the last few years. I wasn’t sure what size to get and if 12” of each material would be enough based on a previous review. After messing around with both sizes I have opted to keep the 24”. My wrist size is pretty average at 7-7.25” and I bench in the mid 2’s. I use these for OHP and squatting also d/t right wrist carpel tunnel from working in front of a computer or playing on my PC at night. I can say w/o a shadow of a doubt that 99% of people can use these in 24” wraps. I can’t imagine needing the 36” unless have massive forearms, a wrist circumference of above 8.25” or you are hitting an OHP of 250+, bench of 405+ or squatting 500 or beyond, though the 24” wraps can likely handle this weight no problem. They are extremely well made, the stitching is extremely strong and I have no concerns on anything falling apart. They have the best Velcro I have ever used. I was able to crank the 24” wraps down so tight my hand went purple and I couldn’t move my wrist. I highly recommend these. Pioneer makes great equipment and if you don’t have a belt of theirs yet, you are doing yourself a disservice. Also FWIW, the black and gray chimera’s aren’t made anymore though they are listed on the site still so black and red is all you can get.

Ordered these after previously using the grey chimeras. Used my grey ones for squats and bench for almost a year. No wear and tear, no breakdown of the material. And still had the flexible base and solid casting effect that these are unique for. And I love the ease of putting them on and off. Loved these red ones so i decided to get these too. Overall excellent craftsmanship and quality of the material. Definitely worth a purchase.
