I’ve got a pair for my 5.11 tactical vest. I personally quite like them. I prefer the plate loaded style to the mini sand or metal shot bag type vests so this is a big upgrade. Ranking value low because they are expensive and only do the one thing. I would say rogue should put a 2” hole in the middle of them so you could use it on a barbell, but I think that would be silly too. You aren’t really taking these out of the vest once you get them.

I think we’ve all used our fair share of these and know the drill. They’re pretty affordable, and go on sale regularly. Not perfect on weight tolerances by any means, BUT they are a classic look in my opinion. I actually really love that the tolerance for the hole in the middle isn’t super tight because it gives these plates a bit of a rattle when you lift with them.

I’ve got a few pairs of the 25s and smaller. I think they are nice plates. Not as cool as the OG milled Yorks for sure. They’re fine for their price. Bummer they aren’t made in the USA though. One thing I like about the 25s is they are actually 12” in diameter, so it looks really cool and clean when you have them on a 12” log. Good lip and coating on them as well. Makes them easy to hold on to. The two pairs on the outside of the bottom posts in my picture are the 25s. I also have the 5s and 10s on there as well.

Definitely not the best crash pads on the market. But they do the job just fine. I added Velcro to mine to secure them to my bells of steel pair of crash pads. They basically are just used to elevate the bells crash pads higher off the ground. I’ve seen basically no wear and tear because of that. If the cover ever ripped I would replace them with the bells of steel pad covers.

These are super cheap but get the job done. I use them to hold 45s and they are secured to my basement walls with tapcon bolts. I also use one pair of them to hold my pitbull log up off the ground. Works great for that. They aren’t flashy, but they’re a great price and hep get more weight up off the floor for you.
