I've never tried it but have heard tales of folks carrying them on. I've also heard of folks checking them too.

Do you know if TSA will let you bring a kettlebell as a carry on item on a plane? This would be great for bringing along a KB for summer travel!

Chris,

I got an email from the KettleBack folks and they do put multiple bells in for boot camps etc. However since only one can be secured they only "rate" it for one bell.

Even though I have no need for the KettleBack at the moment, this is a terrific review!
Makes me want to go out and get one (if I had the extra loot burning a hole in my pocket…)

Seriously, great review Sandy! I'm sure a lot of your readers will go out and purchase it after reading what you had to say about it….

I'll have to see about loading it with two bells. I haven't tried it. Certainly it wouldn't rate out at that could it may still work.

Remember, I'm partly crazy. I think we (all kettlebell users) are though.

Can you load 2 bells in to it? you said there was storage space… I'm thinking 24 on bottom, 16 or 20 on top of it.

I like working out with my 24kg, bell, but for lots of things, it's still too much, I like the option to move down in weight when I'm starting to run out of steam. Lower weight to finish safe basically.

Besides a ~90lbs pack would be perfect.

I wouldn't be surprised if you couldn't become EU rep for them. You should ask LOL

Nice to hear an unbiased, but positive review of the kettleback from someone I can trust, Sandy, thanks. I'm quite tempted to one of these products, but the UK/US exchange rates and also transatlantic delivery costs would make it quite an expensive item for me. Of course, true quality is never expensive, but I think I may need to wait for a "UK-version".
