Really enjoying this rope, the weight for the length of the rope is a good balance and the plated handles are a nice touch. The sleeve is an amazing feature as it will extend the longevity of the product and I also received the free monkey sleeve, which I also use when using the rope.
Only negative feedback is that with the sleeve covering the product it should not non-marking on the floor; sadly the first time I used the rope....the ink that was used for the black & white writing started to leave marks all over the floor with every slam of the rope. So, that was an extreme pain, I then spent an hour trying to lift the paint marks off of the gym floor.
