Polycarbonate Connector
-
Dynamite Solid Connection.
A hoop is not a hoop unless it has a simple, lightweight and secure way to connect one end of its tubing to the other. We began using polycarbonate back in 2010 and since then it's become the industry standard.
We like round hoops.

Polycarbonate, aka Lexan®, is a truly amazing thermoplastic polymer. Used in bulletproofing applications (just like our Kevlar wick!), this crystal clear material is incredibly strong, but is so light that you can barely feel it in your hand. At the ideal length of 1.625 inches, these connectors are perfect for any kind of hoop, whether permanently fastened or with a push-button.
Note, these connectors may fit *very* tightly depending on your tubing. At first, it may be a workout to fit the connector in & out until your hoop tubing stretches slight and learns to become more accepting. If your tubing is ultra tight, warm it up a bit in hot water to allow the connector to ease in.
KNOW YOUR TUBING: You must know the Inside Diameter of your tubing (not the OD) to get the right size connector. In this "hoop industry" the tubings are typically denoted or named by their Outside Diameter..
Don't forget Fasteners!
