Urethane Plates

These are NOT worth the cost. They are good build quality, not great though. I do miss the drippy rubber of a traditional bumper plate. They don't sound less noisy when I drop them. My biggest issue with them is I CAN'T store them in my shelf rack because they constantly slide down, it's really annoying, I don't want to have a weight pin for 10s, so I keep these plates in my closet.

Expensive but great quality, no issues with noise. I’m sure they will outlast me.

When I first started my gym, I played around with a lot of weight plates. I decided on thinner profile bumpers and Strength Co. irons after a time. And I did this merry-go-round with bumpers. At one point, I got in a set of Rogue urethanes because I wanted to cut down on the smell of the bumpers that I had been moving in and out. Let me tell you something. Listen here, because it is crucial to your sanity. Stay the hell away from these if you have ribbed sleeves on your barbell. You know that sound of fingernails on a chalkboard. This sound makes that sound sound quiet and mild. I don't understand why any company that ribs their barbell collars would then go ahead and sell a plate that has ribbed inserts. That's bananas. But they don't smell at all. So there's you tradeoff.
