Buying from Kensui
Kensui is a smart pick for home-gym lifters and calisthenics athletes who already own weight plates and want clever add-ons like a plate-loaded vest, kettlebell or neck trainer. Skip it if you want simple, generous returns, since the store's own policy pages disagree on the window and refund type. Get the return terms for your item in writing from support before ordering anything expensive.
