Ok, so they are in my opinion even harder to see than other brands which is a good thing. I will say however I have broken about three of these just "trying" to play with them so not sure what to say yet. Luckily I bought the 32 pack and I'll try some more but at first glance...they appear to be quite "fragile"

I also feel some break to easy even after proper warmup.There are enough available so I guess I just have to keep practicing.

So PM decided not to print my review since it was only a 3 star so I will add it here:

Simply put, if you like Loops, you will appreciate these

What makes it a 3 Star? The horrendous packaging - these things are packaged so tightly together that they are completely impractical for a worker. When you break one in the real world, you need to quickly retrieve another. Because of how they are packaged it is not possible to get ONE off (unless it's the LAST one in the pack) - you will nearly always pick off two and have a very visible thing around your wrist.

I saved my LOOPS packaging and have transferred them to the LOOPS holder. As I said, the packaging kills the value but the product itself is just fine....even for a worker

Very poor storage system - 10 bands on a small card, half the size of an index card, with jagged edges.Too crowded making it easy to tangle bands with each other, and the jagged edges make it easy to break a band while removing.

Also the same problems exist as in Loops - they are machine tied. They are not breaking easily as some folks think, but are actually coming apart at the knot. There isn't great quality control in machine tied elastic bands - Hand tied is the way to go!
