I chose these plates because they are thin, so save space on the bar, and looked great online. Upon arrival, they also appeared impressively colorful. Unlike rubber-coated plates, these urethane plates are firm to the touch. While I was unpacking these, my box cutter caught one of the yellow plates---the box cutter recoiled off the plate and the plate itself remained unscratched. These plates are tough! These plates are exactly what I would want for olympic lifting. They fit the bar snugly and land without too much noise. Because the collars fit onto the bar precisely, there is not metal clanking if a bar is dropped. Additionally, there is little slack in the bar for deadlifts and olympic lifts. I have paired these with an American Barbell Olympic bar.

These bumpers are very, very good. Fantastic quality and appearance. I chose these over Eleiko, Werksan etc and I couldn’t be happier with them.

These plates are one of the stand-out differences that makes training in my garage nicer than any of the high-end gyms in my area - both in my own estimation, and according to several folks who come over to my place to train. They're super durable and classy, very accurate and compact, and are a real joy to use. The vivid colors make them _look_ as good as they are. They've stood up just fine to a year of dropping on horse stall mats, though the drop is a touch noisier than some other (broader, more rubbery) bumpers I've used.

The Urethane Pro Series bumper plates are the best plates available if you are looking for a durable plate that holds up well to a lot of wear and tear. Outstanding quality and durability.

I have had a 140KG set of urethane plates for about a year. To make loading of 100KG easy and also to do super set of DL and BS, I ordered extra two sets of 20KG plates. These plates are really strong, not only internally but externally (plate surface). I accidentally dropped 25KG and 10KG plates from shoulder height down to bare concrete slab. I see no hint on them. These plates are expensive but are quite likely to outlive myself.
