They weren't kidding. This robe really does go at an accelerated pace. The handle form and the rope construction and width all lend to a zippy experience. You won't get the same resistance and muscle work as with a hefty leather rope, but so long as you know what you are getting, this is a good choice. One other thing to note is that it can't take the same amount of abuse as leather or plastic beaded ropes.  Permalink
