I like this product – got the 250lbs black set – smells like real Latex, looks well made, good quality comfortable accessories.
Came with a small well written user guide and a large poster with example exercises.
I was worried about the length and size of the bands based on other reviews, but for me at 5"10 they work well and are maybe only slightly too long – the manual shows how to tie a knot in the band to shorten them which I may decide to do later – but I suspect it will be difficult to later undo.
They come in a small compact bag made of a cheap material – keeps everything together – but I'll throw mine into my sports bag.
The resistances are labelled at one end only – and I kinda wish they were coloured now so they can be identified easier as it takes be a moment to riffle through them to find the right one each time.
To me they feel lighter than the the labelled amount – in the gym I can't curl 60 lbs dumbbells, but I just went and did a full set of curls using the 60 lbs band no problem. I would say the weight feels like 2/3rds or so less than the amount on the label, however this is fine for me and it is still a very useful amount of resistance for me.
If I can find my luggage scales I might do some tests – if I do I'll update this review.
Overall I am very impressed with this product – for the price it offers a cheap and convenient way to get in exercise when I don't have time to get to the gym.
