A very good hex dumbbell with a straight handle at a cheaper price point than Rep, which I would say is the closest straight handle dumbbell in terms of quality and performance to this one. The knurling on the ethos dumbbell is a little more passive, and they don’t have beveled edges like the rep dumbbells do but overall this is a great option for someone looking for a straight handle dumbbell. For comparison a pair of 50lb dumbbells from Ethos is $181 while Rep $215. I will say that a buddy of mine bought a set and some came in with the red lettering on them and some were blank, which would drive me crazy but he doesn’t mind.
