Thanks. What are the pro and cons to the other brands making them in different sizes vs. Valeo keeping them the same size.

I've been using mine for about two months and it's the 8 pound one. My body has gotten used to the size way too quickly so that challenge isn't there any more. With other brands making other sizes, and valeo only making the same, you have the choice to give your body more challenges by buying larger sizes. Hope that made sense

Jay, I personally would not want smaller sizes for lighter weights. I can say the grip on this is good and that's about all I was looking for in the ball.

Sorry, this is the first time I have owned a medicine ball. I bought the Valeo based on the reviews I read about this brand versus the other ones.

I actually hate it when the ball gets bigger as the weight gets higher. It makes it so much harder to hold if you're doing things like Russian twists, etc. keeping them the same size increases the weight effectively but also makes it easier to use because its easier to hold

Valeo's medicine balls are of different sizes. My 8# ball is roughly the size of a volleyball. The 10# and 12# balls are both about the size of a basketball. I do not know the diameter of their heavier medicine balls. Females with smaller hands are able to handle the lighter smaller ball enabling many more exercise protocols. The basketball sized medicine ball seems perfect for a vast amount of core/shoulder/arm protocols. Perhaps you can check the Valeo website for precise diameters of their vast variety of medicine balls.

They just seem denser ... they have the same texture as an outdoor rubber basketball. I like the "controllability" of them being a standard size. Some of those old style medicine balls got huge, as the weight increased. What a pain!

Really it's a lot or not much, sounding contradictory but isn't. It makes a big difference doing different exercises, your desired weight to use doing them (as if you have small hands, knees, legs, etc you're using more muscles instead of concentrating on one area @ a time thus giving you less of a workout. Larger hands/body parts will give you more resistance on the muscles you're working on). Also if you're grip is tight (just as important as form) you're working out at 100% instead of going through the motions. I hope I answered your question, my 2 cents may not be as informative as others but sometimes it takes 1 out of 100 answers to get the one you are seeking.

When I've bought them at places like Marshall's and TJ Maxx, they've been the same. As long as they're OXO, I would think they would most definitely be the same sizes--why would they make different sizes for different sales locations?

Unfortunately i don;t have any link for that. After failing couple times with sizes i figured out which one fits me for different gear.

I have found that if is for a specific size (Example: 54"), it usually fits that size regardless of make. I have not had problems interchanging brands, but some brands hold up better. I hope that helps.

yes there are two different sizes that are very close. I bought the wrong size the first time. The cost was minimal so I didn't worry about it.

I had one of the same brand before, which I bought from a local store. Got the size there.

We have a 100# weim. Ordered the xl. Was too big. I reordered a large. Outstanding value and quality. You will be pleased.

I'm not sure but I googled the sized differences between 2011 and early 2009, I don't really see a difference. But just to be on the safe side, I would recommend you to email the seller and they probably know.

I'd like to know the answer to that too. I decided to try the choose-a-size but they are not equal to these. Are you listening Amazon? We'd all like to know.

I wear all different sizes & have had no problems so far....I have everything from the round avitar to the big ones that look like they came from the 70s (my favs) & they all fit with no problems. Hope this answer helps :)

As for sizing, they would be the same. It's just a merger of listings on Amazon, one showed M, one showed Medium, so they have both after the merger As for model year, the only difference is color

From what I've read, the Conti GP 4-Seasons only come in three sizes - 23, 25 & 28mm. The 700x28's are what I bought to replace my old Vittoria 700X32's. The 700x28 is a significantly narrower tire (which is what I wanted) and they actually measure closer to 26mm. The benefit is a significantly faster-rolling tire than any 32-35mm tire (and most other 28's, too!). The negative is a harsher ride, especially compared to big, cushy 35mm's. I've had a few flats with them, so they're not as 'bulletproof' as they're made out to be, but all-in-all, they're great tires!

If I recall I went to the rip it website to look up and it was very helpful. They cross over and combine sizes where other brands don't.

They do come in different sizes sp please double check before you purchase.I ordered two of them and the one that comes as 13.3 inches fits okay for a mid 2012 pro.Unfortunately the back side continues to fall of since the fit is a bit loose

They are all the same size, I have purchased both size description with no difference in size.

There are some adjustments that can be made after you determine the approximate size but fit also depends on the shape of the head as helmets all fit a little differently. One manufacturers product will fit just fine and the same size from another will be uncomfortable.

There is no size difference in the bags. Ogio, the manufacturer, only made one size. The different size options on amazon are misleading and I'm surprised they won't fix it.
