Dura-Bell-Urethane Hex Dumbbells

[RockXP]

Hi

I am new to the forum. I narrow my dumbbell choice to the Dura-Bell-Urethane Hex Dumbbells - 5-50 lb. Set - Hampton (DBU-5-50). Base on my research, I found out the rubber dumbbell smells or give out an order. I read the rubber has to be "virgin rubber" if you don't want them to smell. Is this the case for this particular brand. Any feedback and thoughts is appreciated.

Thanks

Considering the 5-50's shouldn't be taking a beating (i.e. being thrown around) I would consider these. $300 vs. $1000.

Is this for a gym or personal use? With dumbells you're paying 2$ a lb while you could buy plates for much less.

So i'm assuming you hate the smell of rubber, or you allergic?
