Versatile, but not ideal for all use cases
I bought this product primarily as a stretching aid and for that purpose I am quite happy with it. The textured surface makes it slightly less slippery and therefore easier to use. The foam is technically "high density" but you should note that it is EVA foam and not the EPP foam. If you are an athlete looking for a deep massage (serious rolling out), you should look for a more solid EPP foam product. I'm 125 lb and this little roller is fine for some light massage, but if I were a larger person I don't think it would do the trick as it would deform too much.
