    There are loads of them on all the local advert sites, has anybody here bought one? I was thinking of it but dont want to buy one if there is a chance of it failing and causing injury!

    Unlikely to fail but also unlikely to be genuine (unless buying off official TRX retailer)

    Its a strap.
    What relevance is the brand name TRX?
    You could make one out a toddlers harness in fairness!

    I wasn't aware TRX used cams anywhere in their construction.

    Try them out, with the fake ones the carabiners will completely bend and often snap if you try and do a few rows with them.

    Exactly. Washing line rope and a couple of Rubex tubes should do the trick :pac:

    There's a cam buckle on each side for length adjustment.
