Hi all, after looking on the internet with relatively little luck I'm posting here.

I'm looking for one of those resistance loop things (not the wide latex bands that are basically a strip of latex in a knot. I've ripped a few of those already) to help with some mobility work. A bit like this:

I've tried Amazon with little luck. The higher resistances seem to be available, but the lower one which I need is not. Any suggestions on where I could get one of these please?

I bought these at Decathlon, perfect for putting round knees for glute work, the inside of the bands is even textured so it doesn't rip so many hairs out if you're foolish enough to do it in shorts...

They vary in quality a lot,our gym gets through quite a few, all seems to have different failure modes depending on how they're made. Some flake off in super thin slices and others just go hard and snap.

NB StrengthShop ones are utter rubbish (like most of their kit) so don't buy those.

The Decathlon one looks good, but the resistance level is too high. Maybe worth a look though. Thanks.

that's not the only one, they have lower resistance (I think 15kg) and also gymnastic bands
