Vulken Wooden Gymnastic Rings Review
So I bought these Vulken Wooden Gymnastic Rings with the straps on Amazon and I love them, honestly. I am selling the other lifting straps with the gymnastic rings that I had. And that’s simply because these have one key feature that makes them a lot easier to adjust into the different positions you need. Let me show you actually what that is.
So you’re probably used to lifting straps with these types of adjuster here. I don’t know the technical name for it but basically you press this down and then you’re able to adjust the length of the straps. And that works pretty well, right? What a lot of manufacturers have done that kind of made that easier to do is they add these numbers and then you just have to adjust it to the certain line and that gets you to the length that you’re looking for. Now that works pretty good but it's still a little bit of a pain, honestly, to get to that exact point in the line every time that you’re looking for. It’s a small thing but it does become a pain. What these lifting straps are actually using is a bit of a different system here. As you can see, they have this carabiner and what you do is you simply attach the carabiner to the proper loop. I’ve got it right now on 22 and once you do that, you’re done. And that’s it so every time it’s easy to get the straps to the exact length that you need. Same thing for this one, obviously. Now there’s actually 2 places where you can adjust them. So here, which right now is in the middle of the strap or the top where I have these attached to the ceiling with these attachments up here. You can also adjust it there.
Now, as far as the rest of the functions of these gymnastic rings and straps, I mean they’re great. This is a heavyduty kind of fabric here. There’s no chance of this breaking for the weight I am using it for which is my own body weight. If I had one kind of complaint here, I would say the carabiner needs to be a little bit bigger. Usually they can get stuck like this every now and then as you can see. You kind of have to move it around to get that to close and it’s a little hard to do with just one hand while I’m holding the camera.
As far as the rings here, these are wooden and they feel great, no issues with them. I don’t know anything about the construction of the wood, they say it’s durable and it seems it is. It seems perfect, they were smooth. They also have this rubberized material you can wrap around them. I haven’t done that yet because it didn’t seem necessary.
So yeah, overall, I think these things are fantastic. I’m going to give them a 4.5 out of 5. Keep in mind that it also did come with some other handles you could use that you could attach to these. Those seem handy and they seem like they function fine. Also a door stopper that you can use if you’re weighing somewhere, I haven’t really used those. I’m just using it for it’s primary purpose here which are the rings and the lifting straps. But yeah, like I said, 4.5 out of 5. I highly recommend it. I think that little feature of making it easy to adjust these things really kind of make it easier to use long term.
