Handmade by a national level lifter who understands that women are not built like men nor do they like to look like men. She will do custom work in addition to what you see on the website. I have three and have competed in two so far. She also gave me the amazingly handy tip to turn my Rehband sleeves inside out so the black side faced out. This made the sleeves not clash with everything else I wore to competition (which may seem petty but made me feel better)
