Overview
Rogue HG 2.0 Collars are high-performance barbell collars designed to provide a secure, "vise-like" grip on standard Olympic barbells. Re-engineered for Version 2.0, these collars are more durable and easier to use than traditional spring clips, making them the industry standard for CrossFit® competitions, high-intensity training, and home gyms alike.

Performance Benefits
Superior Security: The patented locking mechanism ensures plates stay flush against the collar, preventing "plate rattle" or shifting during high-rep Olympic movements.
Equipment Protection: The smooth nylon resin contact surface is designed to hold tightly without scratching or damaging the finish of your barbell sleeves or bumper plates.
Durability: Tested under the stresses of elite competition, the HG 2.0 is built to withstand repeated drops from overhead without cracking or losing its tension.
Time Savings: The quick-tab release system allows for much faster plate changes compared to traditional metal spring collars.
Maintenance and Care
Cleaning: Periodically wipe the interior rubber pads with a damp cloth to remove accumulated chalk or dust. Clean pads ensure maximum friction and prevent the collars from sliding.
Hardware Check: Occasionally verify the tightness of the stainless steel pivot pins.
Storage: Store in a dry environment. While the hardware is stainless steel, keeping the resin body away from extreme heat or direct UV exposure for prolonged periods will maximize the life of the material.
