i am purchasing a different rope today because this one does not allow for speed. if you like jumping slowly or whipping your arms really hard, this is the rope for you. but I do not enjoy it for doing fast jumps to warm up before a run. the connection is metal loop to metal loop, and squeeks a little between swings, which I also do not like.

This is everything I wanted in a jump-rope and for the price, it really is perfect. Nice wood handles. Rope is substantial enough that it swings over easily. It was a bit long for me and since it's not adjustable I tied a knot on both sides near the handles and it's fine.

Good quality jump rope, no complaints.

though I do regret buying it because for some reason I thought i was going to be able to use this in my house for my work out. Unfortunately it's too long and it keeps hiting the cieling. Oh well heh.

My roommate bought us each one of these, because they were on sale (not on amazon). I didn't like how the handles were made because you can't choke up on the rope to make it shorter (as she is very short). We tried tying a couple knots in the rope, but she was over it. I'm 5'6" and it was still a little too long for me. I made it work anyway.

When I was actually using it, the hinges on the handles wouldn't turn every time, so the rope would get twisted. Every 45 seconds to a minute of jumping, I'd have to stop and untwist it. And then after a combined usage of maybe 15 minute, the hinges completely broke off the handle. My roommate let me use hers, and it had the same issues. It didn't take too long to break that one too.

We hadn't really thought to take them back, because the were on sale for super cheap (huh, wonder why), but I was perusing for a new jump rope and saw this, definitely not worth your money or annoyance.

Not a very good jump rope for exercise. First off its fairly short. Not a problem for me, but I'm only 5'7". Anyone above the six foot mark will probably have trouble using it. My main problem with it is how light the rope itself is. Its very difficult to get this thing up to speed, which made it feel more like I was doing an arm exercise instead of cardio. That said, I guess it wouldn't be a bad "recreational" jump rope on a playground or something. Its fairly well constructed.

I just wanted a simple jump rope, but now I kind of wish I hadn't gotten an actual ROPE. It's hard to get around (which, actually is okay because it's more exercise), and it's too long for me- I'm 5'7. It works though, and I was sore after the first day! Awesome!

this was good enough for the purposes i bought it for, it is a little long for me but i still manage to use it

I got this today & was happy with it. However, I didn't like the metal links because they make a sound when skipping..
The handles were nice, but the rope material wasn't that good...

I think I paid a little too much for a plain jump rope with middle quality..

Very lightweight and easy to use, exactly what I was looking for in a jumprope.

Pros:
1) Looks pretty--has a "classic" jump rope look.
2) Handles are comfortable
3) Can simply tie knots in the rope at the handle to adjust length

Cons:
1) The metal clasps that connect the handle to the rope "clink" against each other every time you move the jump rope. This means every time you jump you will hear a noise of the metal hitting metal.
2) If you use this jump rope outside the white rope will quickly get dirty.

I will be purchasing the Valeo Deluxe Speed Jump Rope. It is comparable in price, easily washable, and has special ball-bearings that allow for smooth, noiseless movement.
