Retractable Jump Rope – No Tool Adjustable, Fits in Pocket, Tangle-Free Steel Cable for Travel & Gym

Very nice jump rope
This is a very nice, well-made jump rope. (I’ve only had it for a few days, so if any longer-term issues pop up, I will update the review accordingly.)Two things to note: 1. read the directions before you do anything. Once you put the rope into the handles, there is no way to get it out, so you can’t trim this to size once you’ve completed that step. (You MAY be able to adjust the length of the rope after pushing it in, but I tried & it feels very tight & hard to pull out. Much better to just measure it (following the directions) before putting the ends into the handles to avoid any issues)2. The rope is made out of wire, so you’ll need wire cutters to trim it.That being said, the rope is very nice & feels high quality. The handles retract into the base, so you can pack this up very small. Unlike, some other ropes that I’ve tried, this one does not have ergonomic handles. In practice, this hasn’t been an issue, but if you are looking to do very long sessions, it’s something to consider. The handles themselves feel like they would be even better if they were a tiny bit longer, but these were made to be compact, so it’s a decent trade off.The handles are made out of metal, with three rubber grips built in. Those grips really seem to work well & the rope is comfortable to jump with for me.As I mentioned previously, the rope itself is made out of a rubber coated wire, which should last basically forever. And the handles feel very high quality. The listing mentions that these have 360 degree ball bearings. I hav enough way to verify that, but it does have a premium feel to it.I got the silver & black model, which is listed on the website, but the pirates they currently show for it look like the green ones to me. I don’t see any pictures that look like the color I got. That being said, I think that mine look even better than any of the ones on the listing currently.It took me a few tries the first time I tried to put the assembled rope back into the case, to get the right loop length to fit in the case. But that’s more of a one-time thing & once you figure it out, it’s easy to get them back into the case.Overall this is a nice lightweight jump rope. I’ve seen ropes that cost well over $100, and unless you are looking for something much heavier to give a harder workout, I can’t think of anything that this rope lacks that would make me buy a more expensive one.

Beginner friendly!
After not jumping rope for over 2 decades, I decided to pick it up again. My first try was with a really cheap jump rope, it was way too light and hard to rotate fast enough to time with my jumps, I couldn’t get more than 5 clumsy jumps in a row. I expected to struggle again when trying out this jumprope, but after getting a feel for the weight and rotation, I was able to get 20 jumps in a row Day 1, and I managed 49 in a row Day 2. Day 3 is rest because my calves are unsurprisingly sore today 😂I’m 5’8” and using the measuring method recommended, the cable ended with only 2-3 inches on each side (see photo of instructions.) So instead of cutting I fed the excess cable in. So far it’s been working fine, although I did have to retract it a little because it was creating resistance in one of the bearings. When not jammed with excess cable, the bearings roll smoothly and make these handles a breeze to use. I will be finding some cutters once I get more precise with my jumproping, so I look forward to that!Overall very happy with the quality and size. I’d say this is a great fitness rope for beginners or anyone looking for something tidily portable.

Decent for price
Love the thought, handles are a good weight but it doesn’t spin well for crossfit/double unders

Realmente es una cuerda muy práctica, cómoda, de buena calidad, bastante ligera y resistente al uso deportivo, la recomiendo. El servicio de envío y de entrega tambien fue excelente, mucho antes de lo anticipado. Vale la pena comprarla, un muy buen precio.
