Domyos Skipping Rope 500

£5.99 / decathlon.co.uk

PROS

• Easy adjustment
• Handles offer plenty of grip

CONS

• Suitable for indoor use only
• Not the best for speed drills

Grip: 4.5/5
Rotation: 4.5/5
Durability: 3.5/5
OVERALL: 4.5/5

This 3m rope is easy to adjust – simply unlock the top of the handles, unscrew the rope adjuster and slide it up and down the rope until you’ve found your ideal length. This is a far slicker rope adjustment than many more expensive ropes we tested.

Although supposedly abrasion resistant, the rope is recommended for indoor use only.

Happily, it’s a dream to skip with: smooth rotations ensured by ABEC3 ball bearings. 

We’re big fans of the Domyos handles, too. Although they’re not the thickest, their ergonomic design and foam covering provides maximum comfort. And they work well to wick away moisture, ensuring a confident grip throughout.

For the price, this is one of the best skipping ropes available.

Decathlon’s Domyos is one of the cheapest on test but still a great choice
