I bought these bands a few months ago as a way of diversifying my workout - I'd been a dumbbells and chin-up bar guy until then.  I find the bands to be well-made and sturdy, and I like the design of the clips and removable handle.  It means that I'm dealing with less bulk, of which I'm always a fan.  Plus, because the clips swivel, there's never an issue with "going against the grain" that I've felt with other bands.  Ultimately, though, these are better for someone needing a lighter workout than I.  Thus, my girlfriend loves them, but I have limited use for them.  This is probably my own fault, though, so I will get a band of higher resistance from BMP and I think it will have greater utility.
