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.

I’ve lost count of how many I’ve bought….and have switched to only using bands from now on. 💯🤌🏽💪🏽🥊

I found the band to be really well made and sturdy. The only thing I had an issue with is I found after touching the band with my hands and rubbing my eyes, they would become very irritated. Like they were sensitive and slightly burning. This does not happen every time and it is not very intense but it is pretty uncomfortable. I don't know if this is an allergic reaction of some kind. I also found the band to have some stains/dust on it that does not really wash off. However, it does rub on my clothing after using it. Overall, the product is great and I will continue to use it but I found these particular problems for me a little annoying.

This is the band I recommend for all my clients. Sometimes they graduate to a larger size, but they all start here.

I've been working with bands for about 8 months now with good results - I keep making gains at 52 years old. I have a small house made in 1938, so there's no room for a gym. I can spare room for two sets of these serious bands, plus a yellow #6 and orange #7. I do most of my exercises with the bands. With some creativity and some solid anchors, there's no muscle group you can not hit. I use the orange #7 for box squats - it's no joke. I screw eye bolts directly into the studs behind the walls for anchors. I use a bench and rig the bands to the bench using climbing slings and carabiners for a bench/incline press. I've used other bands and most have served me well. Different brands will have different resistance depending on their manufacture. I wanted to standardize all my bands, so I replaced all of them with Serious Steel. The layered latex manufacturing process means the bands offer more resistance - maybe 10-20% more than the solid cast latex bands and the TPE bands. I rouind out my equipment with a pair of powerblocks, omnistraps, a pull up bar and a maxpro. The bands play a central role with the other equipment rounding out the workouts.

The Serious Steel Yellow Band is by far one of my all time favorite bands!! I absolutely Love the color of the Band. It gets a multitude of uses from me. X3, Harambe, Rocka.Fit, etc. I use it for Squats, Rows, Chest Press, etc. It's a nice stop gap between the Black Band and the Heavier Bands. I often warm-up with this band before I go to the heavier bands. Serious Steel makes awesome bands!! I Love all the bands that I purchase from them.

After working with Draper bands I switched to Serious Steel and found them to be superior in every way. Draper quality has declined in tension.

I ordered the wrong band and received the best service ever in getting it exchanged and finding a new one. Rarely do I write reviews but this needs said: if you dislike buying online because of past difficulties, please give this company a try! I couldn’t be more pleased with my new band and the kind gentleman who helped me. Thank you, Serioussteel!

I have been ordering from SSF for years and have always had great customer service and have received high quality products!!!

About 2 weeks in and I can tell the difference between these bands and the cheaper ones I bought on Amazon last year. These are much more 'taught', and I am appreciating them thus far.

To give some context, I have a garage full of commercial grade equipment. This is not an exaggeration when I say this is one of the best pieces of workouts equipment I’ve bought. Between getting older and not correctly taking care of injuries from college sports, my shoulders and hips have become very tight and very weak. In the short amount of time I’ve used them, my shoulders and hips have seen improved mobility and strength. Obviously this has greatly helped with back pain and flexibility, but also immensely with strength training by reducing pain throughout the movement and allowing proper muscle engagement. I wish I would’ve understood the benefits of bands like these years 20 years ago. If you have a lot of pain and tightness through your joint movements, grab a set of these and the 3” high density massage ball. I promise these will help break up the knots, stretch the tendons, and strengthen the multi-directional muscles that have been ignored.

Quality made bands, will likely last a long time. The smell though, makes them almost unusable. Smells like rubber dog vomit. I have to wear gloves, because it doesn't wash off well, and i have dedicated shirts because it will ruin them. Kind of disappointing, I have to strip down for the most part to avoid ruining clothing, and I've changed quite a few exercises I wanted to do with them because I prefer not to use them. I understand it's the nature of rubber, but it's kind of over the top. Opening the garage after a rest day, the overpowering smell is the first and only thing you notice.

Hi guys and ladies, I think the bands are great but I might have ordered stronger than our clientele can handle. I have two unopened straps can I exchange them for easier ones for the older clients to work with. Your product is better quality by far. Thank you

Work perfectly for my needs. Great bands.

Super Stong band. And one of the Strongest bands on the market in 41 inch bands!!

I have using resistance loop bands 41" since 2012. I switched to SS bands when my go to bands from my favorite company kept breaking after several months. My first impression of SS bands is the thickness and tension is more aggressive than competitors. I will see how these bands hold up.
