Product Summary
The Drag Rope from Rx Smart Gear is a simple but highly effective rope that consists of two handles and a piece of polypropylene rope. However, that is all that is needed to produce a substantial drag coefficient, as well as a pretty cool wind tunnel noise when you use it. Although the Drag Rope will provide an intense, full-body workout, the handles are designed so that you can keep your grip on them even when you’re sweaty.

Summary
The Drag Rope by Rx Smart Gear is an old school classic. What it lacks in frills and gadgets, it makes up for in sweat equity. If you are looking to ramp up your jumping intensity, look no further.
