Très bonne qualité et durabilité...

I started using bands during therapy for rotorcuff surgery about 10 years ago. I believe the brand being using in the therapy center was theraband. The therapy center gave me a band to take home to continue rehab after I had met therapy goals and have been using them off and on since. I started with the lower band strengths and worked my way up to black and recently have started to incorporate silver in my workout routines. I know I have purchased at least 2 boxes of the black and one of the silver. A box contains an 18 foot length of band. For my purposes I cut them into 3 6-foot lengths. I use the bands for upper body strength training (arms, shoulders, back). I am not looking for bulk but rather for maintaining strength and flexibility with an emphasis on flexibility. I have used weights and high-faluting machines in the past but find the band exercises suit my purposes just fine. (I am in my seventies and just trying to hang on to what I've got!) The one and only reason I gave a 4 star rating rather than a 5 star is: Bands break!!! And when they break you must always be prepared for that event. This is NOT a defect in the Theraband brand it is one of the risks in using bands. Probably a good idea to check your bands for wear and tear and replace them before they break. With that in mind I use them until they break. Keeps you 'on your toes' when working out!!!

Update 2: Another 5 months before my next length of band tore with the same usage as in Update 1. And I was very careful putting it on each time. So for my usage level a band lasts 5 months. Update 1: My first length of the band has just now torn after 5 months of use every other day (3 x 80 monster-walk steps with band around the ankles and 3 x 60 clamshells with band around the knees). I can't say for sure whether the tear was initiated by accidentally getting overstretched while slipping it over my rubber-soled shoes or not. In the past, I've noticed that that can be the cause of tears, and I have tried to be careful about that but occasionally I got at least a little stretching against a shoe while putting it on. I have now cut another length of band to replace the first and, if I think of it, will post an update on how long this length lasts. I took the advice of other reviewers and purchased the next heavier band up from what I was using from other brands and its width (4") is wider than my other bands as well. So far I have only cut one length and have used for over 6 weeks with no signs of holes or tears. Usually by now other bands would have torn apart and I would need to tie together again and/or cut another one. I also agree that the heaviness that I bought seems right. I bought the light gray band.
