Review of Cap Iron Cast Kettlebells
Quality
These kettlebells are the higher quality version of their standard version. The biggest differences you will see is the color coded handles making it easier to tell the difference between weights and the matte finish. The matte finish provides a slightly rougher grip making it easier to hold during swings especially if you don't use workout gloves and are worried about hanging on. There is no rubber base. Some people may like this because this eliminates any odd smells, but this can be problematic if you don't own any mats and are worried about damaging your floor. These are advertised to be within 1% of stated weight, but that seems like a marketing gimmick since almost every kettlebell sold meets these standards anyways. Another small advantage is the fact they lbs and kgs are both listed. In fact as you will read in the next section, because these are competition kettlebells they will follow the kg weight system.
Score:3/5 - Basic, but nothing fancy

Because these are competition style kettlebells they will come listed at kg. But don't worry as lbs are still listed on each kettlebell. 9-13-18-26-35-44-53-62-70-80-88 (all weights listed as US pounds) Score: 5/5 - A wide variety of weights that will be perfect for anyone looking for competition kettlebells |
