Does the job good for me

I don't use a bar cushion, but my clients do, and they have liked this one a lot. It fits more snuggly on the bar than some I've had, and the velcro closure is grippy. As a result, the pad mostly stays where positioned (rather than spinning to where the closure winds up under the bar, letting it slip back directly onto your shoulders and eliminating any value). It's different from most other pads I've had over the years, as it has a vinyl (I assume) cover rather than a fabric one. I don't like the feeling of that as much, but it's easier to wipe down.

Pros

Extra thick padding offers superior comfort and support

Cons

The pad may be too thick for some exercises

Thick pad. I''m using it regularly for squats and hip thrusts and it''s not compressing or falling apart. This company boasts a lifetime warranty, but with how well its holding up who knows if I''ll ever need to use it.
