What owners single out
In their words
“Bought a 10-pack of black (Extra Heavy) in 2019. These last approximately two months with daily use (for priming and without shoes). For the price, it's a good investment. In June 2021, I tried the "PB Extreme" line of mini bands, hoping it would last longer than these but they don't = also snaps after about 2 months. I decided to stick with these since I prefer the 1" width. Also, when they snap,”

“Perform better makes the best mini bands I've used BUT- I coach at a D! college and work with 6-10 athletes. We use the mini bands especially for posterior chain activation every day. I buy a new 10 pack every year... by January (4 1/2 to 5 months) they are breaking. Can't even get past 6 months....”
