Band Tension Comparison
- Bands can safely stretch 2.5x their length
- 32" x 2.5 = 80" safe max stretch
- 37" x 2.5 = 90" safe max stretch
- 41" x 2.5 = 100" safe max stretch
- Shorter bands will give you a higher tension for the same movement.
Less Slack = Greater Gains
We created 37" Bands to provide optimal time under tension throughout your entire range-of-motion.
Keeping tension on the bands keeps your muscles engaged, producing better results & greater gains.
Exercise Anywhere
Resistance bands are the ultimate travel fitness tool.
Bands are light and compact allowing you to train anywhere.
Endless Uses
From stretching and mobility to bodybuilding or powerlifting, resistance bands can be your primary training source or a great supplement to your regular routine.
Do you plan on using your bands with a band board training system? Consider purchasing a Band Guard to protect and prolong the life of your bands.
WHAT MAKES OUR BANDS DIFFERENT?
SRI LANKA
Top Quality | Fair Trade | Sustainable
Our manufacturing facility has been a top producer of natural rubber latex resistance bands since 1947.
Raw Materials are sourced locally through heavily regulated, sustainable and eco-friendly farming.
Sri Lanka is also free from child labor.
Premium raw materials are the foundation of our bands, but our proprietary manufacturing process is what makes them some of the best bands in the world.
ALL ABOUT THE LAYERS
The seam on our bands is not a mistake or defect. Actually, this is one way you can tell you have a quality band!
How our bands are made:
Our bands are made through a continuous layering process with 15 total layers. The 15 layers from one piece of latex gives the band a seam on the inside and outside. Our manufacturing process helps maximize durability, elasticity and tension consistency.
The consistent tension curve throughout your ROM is the best way to feel the difference between a high and low quality band. Lower quality bands have a force curve that typically flattens out when stretched beyond 70%.
PROTECTIVE COATING
Resistance bands are basically big, rubber bands. You have probably noticed that old rubber bands it will start to dry-rot.
To prevent dry-rot and maintain elasticity, a natural and non-toxic protective coating is added to each band. Natural Rubber Latex needs additional components to maintain material stability and elasticity. Even though it is natural and non-toxic, this could irritate skin if you are allergic to, or have a latex sensitivity.
Can bands be washed to minimize this?
Yes. This can be minimized by washing the band with warm soapy water. Air dry or pat dry with a clean towel.
