BRAIDED IS BETTER! The Braided Xertube offers all the benefits of the original SPRI Xertube and then some. The Braided Xertube is available in 5 resistance levels,which are color-coded in the familiar SPRI colors. The braided rope-like construction makes it the toughest tube on the market. Use the SPRI braided tubing indoors or out, wrap them around, under, over. They’re tough enough to take whatever you throw at them. The upgraded handle not only provides comfort, but also allows all four tubes to come through the connector independently, making the Braided Xertube durable enough for any training environment, allowing it to stand up to even the most demanding strength training. While researching ways to improve rubber resistance tubing, SPRI discovered that four is better than one — four tubes, that is. SPRI’s unique braided tubing harnesses the strength of a dependable, time-tested, rope-like construction that weaves four high-quality dipped tubes together into a taut,braided configuration. These larger, stronger braided tubing products share the load across all four tubes rather than a single tube. They’re attached with a patented four-hole connector so that each tube is secured independently of the others. The result is a more resilient, longer-lasting rubber resistance training tool that’s effective for even the most demanding, high-tension, increased-velocity movement patterns, such as with advanced sports conditioning.

Then SPRI introduced the SPRI Xertube with looped tubing handles for upper-body use and SPRI Xercise Bands for lower-body use. These products allowed instructors to easily and cost-effectively lead large groups in resistance training for health, fitness, and performance applications. The demand for rubber resistance products — and the ever-expanding training needs of instructors — quickly grew in the ’90s. The industry continued to push for more advanced products. SPRI started producing “dipped” tubing, the purest and most resilient form of rubber tubing available (compared to weaker “extruded” tubing). SPRI also added more specialized features to new and existing products. For instance, hard and foam covered handles were added to the Xertube, cuffs were added to increase comfort and keep the Xercuff in place during use, and rings of tubing were made to withstand higher resistance demands. Today, all SPRI rubber resistance products are still put through the most rigorous controlled testing available, including extensive trials in the field. The entire SPRI team, including the advisory committee and instructors, is constantly out there, visiting firsthand with those who use the products the most and staying ahead of the trends in the industry. This allows SPRI to actively explore new ways to continue offering the best, most cutting edge rubber resistance products and applications on the market.
