I've tried LOTS of different ropes of many varying designs, and this so far is the best I've used. The price is reasonable, the rope is leather and the ball bearings work great - you'd be surprised how much difference a good rope makes to a workout. The only downside to it is that you don't get any weights to put inside the handles like on some ropes, however the ends of the handles do come off so there is provision for putting weights inside. The handles are pretty comfortable, and once in motion the rope is near effortless to keep in motion (a stark contrast to PVC style ropes).If you're wondering whether to get a skipping rope to keep fit, it's probably the easiest and quickest way once you get the coordination,

I am relatively new to skipping but am otherwise very into my weights and fitness. I bought the rope as I've heard that skipping is an ideal way to tone up and lose those last couple of difficult pounds.The rope itself is very well constructed and is easy to use. The swivels stop the rope tangling and the handles are comfortable enough for prolonged use. My only gripe is that, at my height of 5' 10", the rope is slightly too long, making it difficult to keep a sustained rhythm. It is possible to adjust the lenght but it requires an additional metal crimped stop which is not provided. Otherwise a great product.

I bought this rope to use as an addition to my circuit training to add a bit of variety. The rope was too long for me, I'm 5 feet tall, but my Dad easily adjusted it, though he is very handy at DIY. I'm not so sure how easy this would be for someone who is not. No matter how many kinks there are in the rope after being stuffed into my gym bag day after day, when I use it, it never affects the rope's performance. This is a great skipping rope and turns really smoothly with hardly any effort at all. Highly recommended!

I love this product - I've had it for months now and it is durable and can be used outdoors.The only problem is there were no instructions on how to adjust the skipping rope (assuming there is a way of adjusting the rope). Nevertheless I've tried to adjust the rope and found it rather difficult to do so (maybe someone can help me out on this?). So the skipping rope is still slightly loose for me.I would have given this product 5 stars otherwise.

The difference is amazing! After using a light economy rope which would twist after a couple of turns, this is a revelation. The bearings in the handles allow the rope to turn without twisting so you can get a much more even-tempered workout. No more tripping over it every dozen skips, you can just keep going till you want, or need, to stop.Nice product and good delivery.

This really is a great skipping rope! It is great quality being leather and is cheaper than a lot of other similar ropes out there.I bought this after a PVC rope and the difference is huge. It is a lot easier to get started with a rope such as this and it is great for both cardio-vascular and muscular endurance aspects of general fitness.HIGHLY RECOMMENDED!

I really like it. Low price and I take it with me everywhere. It's been to American with me, and I used it for a cardio workout when ever I could fit it in during an intense 3 month stint of coaching.I can now skip a lot more than when I first started, and I hope to use it more now as it's not possible to run at the present time where I am.

I got this skipping cope because skipping is one of the best cardiovascular training you can get.The handles feel really snug in your hands, the problems I've found with it is if you use it on wet ground the leather changes colour and I'm 6ft - 6ft 2 and the rope catches on my feet sometimes.Overall, for the price its very good.

Nice and long as i am very tall and nice weight to the rope to give it plenty of momentum. Does give you a nasty 'tish' on the back of the legs if the mis-time your jump, but am sure that is more due to my lack of prowess than the ropes design.

This is a great rope; didn't tangle, good material, nice grip and a great price. I don't see how it can go wrong with this rope. Only problem with this was, the foxes tore it apart when i left it outside!(That's my fault though haha)

I HAD TO ADJUST THE LENGTH BECAUSE OF MY HEIGHT. IT WAS NOT THE EASIEST OF TASKS .HOWEVER IF THE ROPES WERE SUPPLIED WITH A COUPLE OF SPARE 'CRIMP WASHERS ' IT WOULD MAKE IT MUCH SIMPLER APART FROM THAT NO COMPLAINTS

The rope is a good construction and rotates very quickly. Only moan is that its hard to adjust the length unless you have a good pair of pliers and are determined in your approach. Once adjusted its a great product.

This rope is great for novices. Comfortable grips, good balance, tangle free, easy to use.I have since ditched it for a PVC one but only because I needed something faster.

Bought this rope because of all of the great reviews about it (it's just easier that way). After using it I can personally say that it's a great rope.

An excellent rope - Much better than the pvc rubbish I had before. Just wish I could skip now!
