Signature Fitness Bumpers any good?

Bands, chains, wraps, straps, racks... are you sure this is training related?

They're on decent sale at Amazon right now, less than $1/lb

Probably okay enough for home use?

Check the reviews. Several people report receiving non-matching pairs. One thicker than the other. One colored, the other black. Etc. But they're being sold by Amazon, not a third-party, so I'm sure you could return them if necessary. Delivery for me would be nearly a month, so that's something to consider as well.

Yeah, after checking the reviews I decided it would be a pass for me. If anyone gets them, I'm curious how it turns out

I bought these back during early Covid. As weights they worked fine. I think they’re just re-branded Hulk fit weights.
The 45s were unusually thick which makes them sub-optimal for deadlifts.
I have the Rogue Echo bumpers now which are thinner and I prefer.
