Rogue High Density Foam Roller review

Rogue's High Density Foam Roller is the value pick for athletes who already train in a gym and want something firm. Rogue makes it from molded expanded polypropylene (EPP), which it says holds its shape and delivers consistent deep tissue pressure, and it is one of the few brands here that publishes foam density: 1.5 lb pcf for the Standard HD and 2.8 lb pcf for the Ultra-Firm HD. Both come at 6 inches across in 18 or 36 inch lengths, with a tolerance of plus or minus 1 inch. The Standard HD costs $22.00 and the Ultra Firm $25.00, and both qualify for Rogue's 3 ships free deal. The 36 inch version works well for rolling the thoracic spine and doing both legs at once. The trade-off is a smooth surface with no texture, so it presses broadly rather than digging into knots, and Rogue's made-in-USA rollers are a separate, pricier line.
