Fitvids Rubber Encased Hex Dumbbell 40 LB Pair Cast Iron Grip

Our take

I got the Fitvids rubber encased hex dumbbell set at 40 pounds per pair and they feel solid. The cast iron core gives them heft, and the rubber coating is thick enough to mute clanks. The hex shape keeps them from rolling, which I appreciate during quick sets. My only gripe is the grip—it's just bare rubber, and my hands get sweaty. At $155, they're a decent value for a pair of 40s, but you might want chalk. They're standard, no frills, but they get the job done.
