Not suitable for small spaces, 1 Jun 2013

Great quality piece of equipment - but not great for use in small spaces

As a member of a Cross Fit gym, I'm used to functional training, and own the excellent aero sling (also by aerobis). When offered the esy blackpack, I thought it would be a great addition to my workout equipment.

The ESY blackpack is a high quality sandbag. It is very sturdy and well-constructed, with both a zipper and Velcro fastening for added security. It comes with 3 sacks to be filled with sand or pebbles. I bought some sand for a couple of pounds.

A nice idea, 14 May 2013

Customer review from the Amazon Vine™ Programme (What's this?)

The mirroring option has a lot to recommend it save for the low resolution - it's okay for illustrative purposes but it lacks the definition to do anything more intensive. That was what I was mainly interested in, so I was disappointed that the functionality was so laggy and low-quality.

If you're looking for a device that allows you to stream movies, this does the job but at an expense you simply don't have to… Read more
