Black Mountain ProductsBmp Resistance Band Protective sleeve

I’ve been using this for 7 months now, works well & protects my bands. It’s 21” long & 3.5” wide. The velcro opening makes it easy to use multiple bands at once. I throw this in my bag w/a few bands when I travel so I can do some strength training in my hotel rooms. With this, I hope to protect & prolong the life of my bands. This looks to have been made well & I think it should last a few years.

Very Happy, Great value , Very versatile , Strong, durable, light and compact, I can put this in my mini travel bag with the bands, Great at protecting my bands, Very good investment. Go for it!

Works well . Durability is a little suspect.

Great quality, nice and thick

I waited until I got some use out of these to leave a short review. They are well made and have proven to be quite durable. I have no issues with loose stitching and the neoprene lining protects the resistance bands well. A very good addition to keep my exercise equipment in good shape.

Most of the time this accessory is not worth the hassle of putting on

When I first got this, I was going to return it, because it had such a strong, ether-like smell. I left it outside for a few days, and that seems to have dissipated. I also have the Bodylastics Band Barrier (I think it's called), which is the same kind of thing. The Bodylastics one is thicker and longer, which could lead to an inference that the Black Mountain one is a cheap imitation. But after using it awhile, I've come to appreciate that it's a bit lighter. It probably still protects a band from being scraped on a rough cement or asphalt surface just as well, and seems like a handier light weight. If you want heavy duty, go with Bodylastics, but if your preference is for less bulk and weight, then this one is good. I use both (I have one band I permanently keep in one and another band I keep in the other) and like them both. You can't go wrong with either one.

Ok, so I just got it yesterday and used it today for the first time. Found out about it on the X3 bar Facebook Group to prevent band tearing. For X3 users, this just clears the plate to protect the band when using the foot plate to prevent friction against the metal. The real surprise is how much easier it makes the chest press and tricep "skull-crushers", no fiddling or twisting of the bands. It seems to make the plate usage much easier too since it holds the bands together. Once putting under the plate you might have to adjust so both sides have the strap to protect against the edges but other than that, this makes things so much easier. If that changes, I will update.
