HOME OF VIRTUAL REALITY
Are you after a good workout while playing your favourite games? The REEHUT ankle weight is the ideal accessory for VR games like Beat Saber and BoxVR. You can choose to attach them on your ankles, wrists or both. They are durable and have moisture-absorbing material inside, soft, breathable and comfortable to wear. They are well made and easy to put on and take off, and work very well from that perspective.
The REEHUT ankle weight comes as a pair and is available in various sizes. There are different weights available depending on the level of intensity of your game workouts. Each colour denotes the weight of each set, for example, the red colour is a 1 lb pair - 0.5 lb each x 2. The grey coloured weights are the heaviest, weighing 10 lb for the pair (5 lbs each x 2).
For gamers who are fanatics of those energetic VR fitness games, like Beat Saber and Box VR and want to increase the intensity of your VR workouts, these weights are the ideal solution. Although there is a wide choice of weights to choose from, we’d recommend starting off with the 0.5 lbs (red) for the wrists and 1.5 lbs (green) for the ankles. We were very surprised how just a little extra weight made the games so much more of a challenge, especially Box VR, where you definitely feel the after effects of the ankle weights on your thighs.

Other accessories to consider
ACCESSORY INDEXMeta Quest 2 BOBOVR M2 Pro Head Strap
After dealing with the costly official Elite strap, I can confidently say that the M2 Pro Strap by BOBOVR has proven to be an outstanding substitute. It truly stands out in terms of comfort, support, and battery longevity. If you're on the hunt for a fresh head strap, I wholeheartedly endorse this one.
Protective face cover
If you love your Quest, you may want to protect it with a protective silicone cover from Eyglo. VR headsets aren't as robust as you’d think, yes, you may have dropped it a few times and it still works, so why bother I hear you say. Well, it’s only a matter of time before the last drop is enough and your headset stops working altogether! However, there is a simple affordable solution.
Disposable VR Face Covers
Hygiene is more important than ever now, especially with the recent outbreak of the coronavirus. If you’re going to share a headset with someone it’s a good idea to protect yourself and others from picking up germs from the sweat secreted by others. The cheapest and probably most sensible way to do this is by using disposable face covers.
VR Headset Stand - Universal
If you have the space and like to keep everything neat, tidy and in the right place, a VR headstand is a good idea. The AMVR VR headset stand is an excellent choice and compatible with the Oculus Quest, Quest 2 and the Rift S virtual reality headsets.
Controller straps for Oculus
I must say, KIWI makes some fantastic intuitive products for VR. KIWI also sell knuckle straps that are compatible with the Oculus Quest and Oculus Rift S Touch Controllers. They have a fully adjustable Nylon fixing strap, that is tailor made to fit the controller and wrap securely around your hand. The straps allow you to release your hands from the controllers, but keep them in place, offering greater immersion while in VR. They also provide better protection for your controllers.
