Rank #5 in Best Resistance Bands 2026: 10 Ranked on What the Pounds Mean
PORTENTUM Resistance Bands Kit, 12 Pieces, 4.5-22.5kg Tubes
Price and rating as shown on Amazon when we collected them. Both change.
The PORTENTUM kit is the only listing in this ranking that publishes its five tubes in both systems, and converts them correctly: 4.5, 9, 13.5, 18 and 22.5 kg, which are exactly 10, 20, 30, 40 and 50 lb. Where the COFOF sells the same kind of kit on a single headline figure of 150lb, this page shows the arithmetic that produces it.
The kit itself is twelve pieces: five tubes, two handles, two ankle straps, a door anchor, a bag and a manual, at £20.53 with 3,625 ratings at 4.6. The claim to treat with care is the warranty. A ten-year guarantee on natural elastic is a marketing position rather than a maintenance programme: rubber loses elasticity to oxidation and light whether you use it or not.
How those 3,625 ratings break down
An average hides its own shape. This is the spread behind the 4.6 stars.

What buyers actually say
Quoted from customer reviews on Amazon
Verified purchase“I recently purchased the Resistance Bands Weight Building Kit, and I am thrilled with the diverse range of exercises it has added to my home workout routine. The variety of resistance levels in this kit is impressive, providing options for users of all fitness levels. The inclusion of anklets and a door grip in the kit adds a new dimension to my workouts. The ankle straps are comfortable and secure, allowing for targeted lower body exercises, while the door grip expands the range of upper body workouts.”
Verified purchase“Only had these a couple days but so far they are great!! Easy to set up anywhere and easy to add or remove resistance. Will be great for holidays or trips, super lightweight and portable. The handles feel good and the door notch thing is awesome for versatility, I put it in a closed window and and a door to play with the different angles and both worked really well.”

Questions people ask
What does the 150lb headline mean?
It is the sum of all five tubes engaged at the same time, not the resistance of any one band. This listing is one of the few that publishes the individual figures so you can see the sum come together.
How many pieces are in the kit?
Twelve: five tubes, two handles, two ankle straps, a door anchor, a storage bag and a manual.
Is the ten-year warranty realistic?
Treat it as a marketing position. Natural rubber loses elasticity through oxidation and light whether it is used or not, so a decade of consistent performance is not something any elastic can promise.
Does it include ankle straps?
Yes, two of them, which is what makes the kit usable for leg work as well as upper body exercises.
How is it rated?
4.6 from 3,625 ratings, with seventy-two per cent at five stars — a large sample, though with a slightly higher share of four-star scores than the sets above it.
