Founded in 1988 by fitness enthusiast and entrepreneur David McCrane, Harbinger swiftly became the brand of choice for weight lifters and strength trainers worldwide.

It began with an innovative Wrist-Stabilizing Glove. Originally intended to mitigate wrist injuries for skateboarders, McCrane quickly realized the benefit of his product for weight lifters. Teaming up with 8-time Mr. Olympia body builder Lee Haney, they pioneered Harbinger as the source for high quality, carefully engineered gloves, belts and strength training accessories.
