How do our bands differ? First, our bands are made of highest quality 100% genuine eco-friendly latex (not rubber bands which are much cheaper and tend to break easily). They are stronger and able to stretch further. You will feel the same resistance after a dozen reps. These bands are free of non-natural materials such as Thermoplastic Elastomer (TPE) - TPE materials cost 40% less, are not gentle to skin and much less durable. Second, our bands are comfortable, soft and easy on the skin. The only way to achieve that is to let the latex rest for a long time in tightly controlled circumstances such as temperature and humidity before making the bands. Both of these involve a higher investment for us but we think it's worth it to create a better product. What makes our resistance bands special? These bands are rigorously tested to be snap, stretch and sweat resistant. You get 5 resistance bands set and you can combine multiple bands to find your ideal resistance. These bands are so lightweight that they make a great travel fitness kit! This is also a great Christmas, Mother's and Father's day gift idea for men, women, dad or mom.
