These are an amazing set of ropes! It's a bit pricey compared to all the other ropes but by far, these are the best weighted ropes I've used. The concept of having the weight distributed along the rope rather than handles makes you work much harder.
Handles:
The handles feel great and the bearings make rotating the rope very very smooth. The tennis wrap makes holding it comfortable, and I believe the handles themselves weigh about 1/2-lb all together. The handles just feel very solid and well made. The hook makes changing ropes pretty easy. Overall, it has a solid build, bearings make the rotating the rope super smooth and they're comfortable.
Ropes:
These are awesome and they don't tangle! The 1/4-lb feels the same as a normal jump rope in terms of weight, so if you're experienced, you can go pretty fast with these. The 1-lb is a different story, doesn't feel too heavy until you start jumping, you can really feel your forearms work. It does say indoor/outdoor, but I tried it in my backyard pavement where it's a little rough and the 1-lb was already having some deep scratches on it, the 1/4-lb seemed okay though, most likely because it doesn't have as much force hitting the ground. I ended up moving into the garage and taped a piece of cardboard to the floor and started jumping on that.
Overall, great set of ropes, if you plan on jumping outdoors, I would have either a mat or cardboard (unless you can find a smooth surface like tennis court).
