5.0 out of 5 stars Should have bought one years ago!, July 30, 2009

I use a Troy Lite barbell, which is a smaller barbell system designed for women, and this works great with it! For several years, I'd just been using an extra handtowel around my barbell when doing squats, etc., and I just wish I had spent the money to get this years ago! It really makes a huge difference in your comfort level because of the nice gel padding inside it.

As another reviewer mentioned, you do just have to be sure that the velcro closure strip isn't on your back when you lift your barbell onto your back, or the pad will separate/come open while you're working out. However, it's very simple to just rotate it so that it's on the top as you place the barbell over your shoulders.

Highly recommended if you have the right size barbell!

3.0 out of 5 stars doesn't fit all the way around the bar, August 29, 2008

I use a very standard size bar, and the pad isn't wide enough to wrap all the way around the bar and close. It ends up being okay because I just put the "open" part opposite my shoulders. It is padded enough to be comfortable- just wish it fit!!

5.0 out of 5 stars Well worth the price and more, February 3, 2011

I have been using the Atlas barbell pad and while it was good for a while it was ineffective after to much weight was put on. (about 100lbs or so) I bought this reading some of the reviews and believe me when I say this was WELL worth the money. This is made much better than the Atlas one. the foam material on the Valeo is much thicker and firmer. It fits on both olympic and standard bars. when its on the standard bar its a bit loose but once you start to lift it does not move like the Atlas did.
