I have a few trap bars before from the really basic trap bar to open trap bars, I must say this Rep Fitness Open Trap bar is the best by a long stretch. It's perfect from the sleeves to the sharp enough knurling on the handles. When you do the deadlift with it, it's a lot easier than most other trap bars to "centre" yourself right into the middle of the trap bar. And it feels perfectly balanced. Oh yes it's also a rackable trap bar! And many other features such as using it as a camber squat bar, do a seal row with, build-in deadlift jack, etc. But most importantly it does its main job well as a trap bar for deadlift.
Sure it's not exactly price-friendly but it's nowhere near the price point of Eleiko Open trap bar. Is Eleiko Oppen trap bar better? It's quite highly possible better but is it $1000 better than this Rep Fitness Open Trap Bar? I assume most likely not but I could be wrong. But I'm sure this is a reasonably (or fairly) priced high quality trap bar for its high quality spec.
Overall, I'm not only really pleased with this open trap bar, I'm really impressed by the high level customer service from Gym & Fitness. They're easy to deal with and always respond to my emails regarding their products in a timely fashion.
