Hi-Temp Crumb Rubber Olympic Bumper Plates, 2’’ Stainless Steel Insert, IWF Coloured Weight Plates, Weight Discs for Weightlifting and Powerlifting

Great plates, amazing quality, would recommend 100%!

I like the idea that these eight plates have a comparatively positive ecological impact by using what would otherwise be a waste by-product, recycled crumb rubber. It eases my guilt at a time when it seems that just existing as a human inevitably has a negative impact on the planet.They look and feel like they are well made. It will be interesting to see how they hold up over time. The weight is nice and consistent. When I weighed them they both showed as 10.1kg. They fit nicely onto the bar, they slide on very smoothly. Small things like that make a difference when you have to do it over and over again. All in all, they do the trick.Unfortunately, they feel a bit greasy when you take them out of the box. I think this is probably to protect them during storage...? I don't want to use any degreaser on them in case this damages them, so I'm just going to keep wiping them down with kitchen towel and hope for the best. It also makes them a touch slippery, so care is required when handling.They are a little thick for the weight, which means they take up a fair bit of space on the bar. This is part of the price you pay for this particular construction method.This pair of 10kg weights is selling for £69.99, showing as reduced from £79.99 at the time of this review. The price of all exercise equipment increased during the pandemic, and it never really went back down again. Even with that in mind, I think the price is a touch high, there are cheaper options available both in the same style of construction as well as more conventional ones. If you want to encourage people to be eco-friendly, I personally think you should make it the more financially attractive option, rather than trying to cash-in on people's ethical dilemmas.

extremely strong plastic smell when opening the box and the plates were greasy, making it impossible to pick up. There is almost no lip to pick up the plate so these are very impracticable.The fitted my standard olympic bar and were 10kg, so at least work as described.These are made from crumb rubber (i.e. recycled car tryes) and doesn't seem that there has been any material testing for safety. There are studies linking crumb rubber to cancer. best to wash hands after touching and avoid breathing any of it in if dropping them alot.Price is okay but design is not great due to being hard to pick up, needs a bigger lip.
