Overview
This is a pair of 25 pound rubber-coated weight plates from Philosophy, sold as two pieces in black. Rubber coating typically protects flooring and reduces noise compared with bare iron plates.
With no bore diameter or standard versus olympic spec listed, buyers should check plate hole size against their own bar before ordering, since a mismatch is a common return reason for plates like these. The pieces count of 2 confirms this is a matched pair rather than a single plate.
- 25 pounds per plate
- 2 plates included
- Rubber material
- Black finish
Who it's for
Fits lifters filling out a home barbell set who need an even pair of mid-weight plates. Not the choice for anyone needing bumper plates rated for dropping, since rubber-coated plates and true bumper plates are not the same thing.
Strengths and trade-offs
Drawn from this product's published specifications.
- Sold as a matched pair
- Rubber coating protects floors and bar
- 25 pounds each for 50 pounds total
- Bore diameter not listed
- Not confirmed as drop-rated bumper plates
Performance notes
Rubber coating over the plate reduces clanging and helps protect floors during racking, a common reason lifters choose coated plates over raw iron for home use.
