Rock solid quality

Review by Brad

Quality

Ordered a pair for my GG and couldn't have made a better choice. They are used outdoors (in Buffalo) year round and have held up without issue.

I have been using Hi-Temp bumpers in our gym for a while. i ordered some for my garage gym, and continue to be completely 100% impressed with these plates! The awesome customer service provided by Rouge made it even better!!

Lasting Quality

Review by Mark M.

Quality

The girls have been dropping the 10's for over a year with light snatches, no problems with inserts, or 25's and 45's .

Great Value-just understand limitations

Review by Chris

Quality

I'm very happy with these bumpers. Got them for my GG setup and have been very pleased with the value and durability they provide-especially with the Rogue Bar. While trying to practice overhead movements with the 10lbs, they naturally got dropped a few times. The steel insert has come loose somewhat and now sits crooked in the plate. I caught it early on and it still works but is a pain to get on and off the bar. Bottom line: Don't Drop these 10s!!

Perfect garage gym weights

Review by Deadliftermut

Quality

My Rogue Hi-temp plates have been the toughest bumper plates I've ever used. if you want durable bumper plates, and workout with 410 pounds or less, get the Rogue Hi-temp plates. You will not be disappointed.

Great, except the 15's

Review by David O

Quality

This low review is only related to the 15s. When they first arrived I thought they looked a lot sturdier than my kraiburg 15's however after about 4 months almost all of my hi temp 15s have cracked, many to the point of being unusable now. Really love the durability of the 25's and up but the 15's ended up being poor investment.

Good, but wide

Review by NAMWIZ

Quality

Had a set for about 3 months now. These are good quality, but the 45lb plates are a little wide and hard to grip and load onto a bar.

Best bumper for Crossfit

Review by Jason Khalipa

Quality

By far the best bumper for Crossfit I have found, especially for the price.

Solid

Review by Speal

Quality

I bought hitemps right off the bat when first starting in my garage and then moving on to the affiliate. They have lasted longer than so many other brands out there. The steel insert is super solid compared to a lot of the brass that is out there. No doubt one of the most bombproof things I have in my gym. Awesome bang for your buck as well.

Great bumper for the price!

Review by Chuck

Quality

In my garage I have a set of Hi-Temps, and a set of Kraiburgs. Both of my Kraiburg 10's are splitting and warped. The Hi-Temp 10's have a lot more miles on them, but are in far better condition. The Hi-Temp 15's allow you to drop the weight without damaging the bumpers, or taking dangerous sideways bounces. They are a pretty wide bumper though, and you quickly run out of bar room. I usually use 2x 45's per side as a base, then stack on smaller diameter weight from there.

Durable and affordable

Review by Tommy H.

Quality

Our hi-temps have held up very well. We currently have 2 kinds of bumpers, we have hi-temps and I believe the others are from wright rubber. So far I have seen a couple 10's and a 15 lb break that were wright rubber brand. None of our hi-temps have broken. I think they are definitely the most durable which is what you want at your affiliate. I don't like people using only 10's if they are dropping the weight because they will bend and fold over. However, it does happen, and our hi-temps have held up surprisingly well given all the wear and tear.

Good bumper for your buck

Review by Chris H.

Quality

These are probably the best entry level bumpers on the market. They are larger in width than other higher priced bumpers, such as the Rogue competition and training bumpers, but they cost a fair bit less and get the job done. Their width will limit the amount of weight you can get on the bar - something to think about if you plan on dead-lifting, say, over 315 pounds (You'll only be able to get about three 45 lbs plates, plus a collar, on each end). Otherwise, these bumpers will work well for all your Olympic and power-lifting moves. These are the standard at my gym and a lot of other Crossfit affiliates. Highly recommended!
