Gear and Wear
A comprehensive review of gear and clothing for the active lifestyle, run and written by an avid hiker, runner, and all around fitness junky. The aim of the Gear and Wear is to fill the gap left from the lack of complete and thorough reviews available anywhere else. As such, all products reviewed by Gear & Wear have been used extensively before being reviewed to insure only reliable information is being passed on to other consumers. Reviews can be found categorized as a piece of gear (for hiking, camping, climbing, boxing/MMA, working out or other), wear (for footwear, shirts, jackets, pants and shorts or accessories) or by their brand name. Additionally we'll also upload a review on some food to keep you fueled! We can also be found on Twitter @GearandWearBlog.
Cost: $29.99 Great for: Home work outs and home gyms. The good: It has a very soft handle and and rubber coated ball (which is great for reducing scraps and scuffs). The bad: On the higher end of prices for a kettleball. Rating Variety/Appearance: 7/10. There are Champion C9 Kettleballs in most sizes and quite a few colors; however the colored rubber is based on the size not your preference. Otherwise, the kettleballs have a smooth grip and a rubber base making them comfortable for your hands and less likely to scruff your floors. Functionality: 9/10. While they aren't as versatile as other weights (dumbbells come to mind) they are still easily incorporated into almost any workout regime making them very likely to see a lot of use. Quality/Durability: 10/10. Weights are generally made to last, put a layer of protective rubber on and they will last even longer. Value: 8/10. The design is fantastic, allowing both your kettleballs and floor to last longer and look less beat up. However, if you are careful or have good workout mats lining your floor then you really are overpaying. Other: 10/10. It's a simple but fairly essential part to a home gym and if you purchase other weights from Champion then you also end up with a pretty stylish set. Overall: 43/50. Verdict: This is a very good purchase for any home gym or someone just starting to work out at home. While there are cheaper options it only takes one mistake to make owning the protective Champion C9 Kettleballs worth while. Comments are closed.

About your Reviewer: Joe P.Growing up in Michigan and around the Great Lakes has made it easy to be an avid outdoors enthusiast and conservationist my whole life. I love doing anything that keeps me staying active and being outdoors. This ranges from running, lifting, climbing, hiking, camping, biking, etc. All of these hobbies of mine are things I take very seriously and love to do. Because of this, before I make any purchase for one of my passions I try to do as much research about a product as possible to insure I am getting a product that I will enjoy for years. That has led to me starting this site in hopes of helping others avoid the guess work I went through by providing honest and unbiased product reviews.
