Jump Rope Cable Sizing

Your Height + 3 ft. (92cm) = Rope Length

If you are unsure of your rope length or you're looking to improve efficiency. An extra 3ft is the absolute longest we recommend for you, but going shorter is advisable. Use our cable length calculator and video below as reference.

We offer this sizing guide, but also a guarantee: If you aren't 100% satisfied with the cable, we'll exchange it for free.

The Drag Rope has no swivel, no bearing and nothing to make life easier. It’s just two handles and a piece of polypropylene woven rope with an extremely high drag coefficient. The energy output to rotate the Drag rope is exponential to that of a wire speed rope. The result is one of the best workouts you’ll ever experience due to the constant air resistance.

Small - For height ranges 4'8" to 5'2"

Medium - For height ranges 5'3" to 5'8"

Large - For height ranges 5'9" to 6'2"

*Color of rope may vary as a result of the dying process.

*Rope can stretch upwards of 6 inches when in use.

*Tie a knot in the rope near the handle if needed.

Due to the size our heavy ropes does not include a bag. Shop Red Gear Bag or Backpack for easy carry & storage.

OUCH!!

This rope makes double-unders really difficult. THe force required to spin the rope is crazy. The wrist/shoulder effort is exponentially harder than a speed rope. Even feels harder than my Kronos rope!

I bought it so I could be ready for it if/when it shows up at in-person competitions (Legends, FOTC, MFC, etc). Happy to have one and will be using it for whenever the workout calls for less than 40-50 double-unders.

Thank you for your purchase and review, John!

Mixed feelings

I love using this rope. It gets my heart pumping and my forearms burning. What would make it 5 stars:
-Handles that allow for the rope to be replaced when it becomes too frayed. I shouldn't need to spend another $57 (w/ tax and shipping) because the rope has worn down.
-As many lengths available as there are for other jump ropes on this site.
- Something (an abrasion resistant coating?) that would prevent fraying near the handles. I've used my rope for a couple weeks and fraying is visible near the handles already.

Kicks butt fast

Started skipping 6 weeks ago. I jump about 20 mins straight now with a normal rope, heart rate about 140-145. This drag rope gets me to 150-160 within minutes. Exactly what I was hoping for, a cheap and easy high intensity workout at home without getting on the floor. My lungs felt the fire for hours to follow.

Best warm up tool ever!

I was very satisfied with how short it took for my drag rope to arrive and am very satisfied with the product itself. The rope is perfect for me with it being softer when I need to jump barefoot as well as the difficulty in moving the rope makes it perfect for warming up!
