Product Summary

Rx Smart Gear changed the adjustable rope game with the Rapid Fit Jump Rope. By pushing one button and sliding out the handle, the Rapid Fit can adjust for people who are heights between 5 and6 feet. At 3.4 ounces, it is a fairly heavy rope. This rope gives a lot of feedback, which is beneficial to those new to double-unders. However, more advanced jumpers could use this rope to increase the intensity of their workouts.

The large rubber handles are a drawback, especially if you have smaller hands. Although the handles are texturized, it is not aggressive enough to help with a better grip. 

The reviews for the Rapid Fit on the Rx Smart Gear’s website are mostly five stars with the occasional complaint about the large size of the handles.
