Buying Safety Tubes


Safety tubes are a sheathed tubing product which can be similar to either standard tubing products or to the
tubing clip systems. Typically the tubing is encased in a pleated 'bellows' style sheath of tough nylon canvas.
The pleats allow the sheath to expand exactly three times in length, stopping any chance of over-stretching
the rubber tubing.

Not only does the sheathing stop over-stretching but it also ensures that, should the tubing fail due to a
mechanical failure, instead of breaking the whole product, the tubing will remain (broken) inside the sheathing
avoiding potential injury.

Safety Tubing is typically used by sports teams and international athletes training for their sports. Stroops is
a high quality brand of this equipment available in the UK.


How Durable are Safety Tubes?

Safety Tubes are approximately three times more durable than standard tubing of the same resistance.


How Versatile are Safety Tubes?

They have the same versatility as resistance tubing or tubing clip systems according to the way the Safety
Tubing has been manufactured.


What Strength of Safety Tube should I Choose ?

Because safety tubing is by its nature encased in a sheath it is difficult to compare strengths. Users should
refer to the manufacturer's guidelines.
