Good Value & Two instead of One.
Got these for use with a Bowflex cable machine. You get two instead of one like other ankle straps. They have very heavy D rings, one on each end of the strap. They are very comfortable and a million times better than using the Bowflex multi use straps. The Velcro strap passes thru one D ring to fasten. My only beef with the design is it would be nice to have a double-back cinch type buckle so you could get them a bit tighter. Due the double D rings, the Velcro doesn't carry any load. With the Bowflex, you really need about a 12" extension strap to keep from doing a balancing act getting clipped in. I've tried clipping in with weight set and clipping in then connecting the rods. Either way is a bit tricky. Since you get two, it saves a little time since you don't have to swap legs, plus with you can use
them to protect the back side of your Achilles' tendon when you're doing seated hamstring curls.
