Amphipod Xinglet Vest vs Serious Steel Assisted Pull-Up, Resistance, and Stretch Bands

But once you adjust the vest to fit your size and as you can see as I push on these tubes here, you can see how it will adjust to fit. So it's customi...

It's now in the 20's outside, and while I'm still working out outside, I'm afraid the elasticity of the bands at that temperature may make them more likely to break. That said, the bands appear to be well made, and my experience with "resistance bands" has been good. While you may be only able to attempt one cross on rings without assistance, with the bands (you can use them in combo), you can get enough help from the bands to actually work the cross multiple reps. multiple sets—use a stiffer band as you tire

- No VELCRO!!! Are you listening clothing makers? Velcro is DEADLY to modern lightweight outdoor fabrics.

I bought the blue one and used it for months- no issues. Stepped up to the red one and it started having issues after a few weeks. I should have tried to initiate the return process right away. Anyhow, the layers started to peel apart

I had the choice of a Squat Rack or a Weight Vest and I went with a Weight Vest that goes up to 150 pounds. That plus Single Leg Squats and Nordic Leg Curls can give you all the lwg work you need :D

I have also been doing a very low carb / ketogenic diet during most of this time and am down to about 205lb.

Beyond the armored vest I'd highly recommend a Helite vest or something similar. You can't put a price on your health!

The bands themselves are wonderful and should be very long lived - but I wish I'd seen the review about skin and eye irritation. About an hour after touching the things, and after washing my hands, I happened to rub my eyes and within a short time the irritation began - about on a par with cutting hot peppers and then rubbing eyes. I'm looking for a latex friendly way to get that stuff 100% off - and wish they'd put something less nasty on the things to keep them from sticking together in shipment. Oh - and no, I am not sensitive to latex - that's not it

I agree completely with the glowing reviews. This is, by far the best reflective safety item I've used. The big "BUT" comes due to a short useful life. I'm in my third winter bike commuting season and at this point I look like someone's errant wrapped gift

They are doing exactly what I bought them for. As for the long term quality, we'll have to see. I suspect they'll last a long time if they're used for what they are meant for and kept inside out of the sunlight. Very good price

But after experiencing more and more uncomfortable and sometimes dangerous situations with many cars, cyclists, and pedestrians whether I was on the backs roads, main roads or yes, even the great bike trails around here, I decided that it was time to do something about it. While I have had my eye on what others were wearing as I was out and about, and noticed one particular popular jacket that was colored to be very noticeable and I tried on and liked very much, I became aware of a few issues that I wanted to address.

My 10 year old daughter likes to put both her knees in the band, then when she is ready to be done she tries to pull both legs out at the same time. This has caused the band to ricochet up near her face once or twice. No injuries yet, but now she knows she needs to be a little more careful. This band is no joke, getting smacked in the face would be uncomfortable at best
