I tried to take a KB as a carry on and the TSA made me check it. They said any weight over 5 or 10 lbs (don’t remember the cutoff but it was low) is not allowed as a carry on. So I checked it in a small bag and it destroyed the bags buckles and zippers 😐
I haven’t done this since but the next time I want to travel and bring a bell I’m going to buy one of those fillable kettlebells like this and find some sand or filler material wherever I end up traveling.
Another option is the kettle gryp because every hotel gym always has dumbbells. I’ve never used it but looks like it might be a pain for swings...
Rings are really cheap and allow for a lot of exercises.
Kettlebells are also cheap and versatile.

I've used a lot of different cast iron kettlebells and my experience with them has been that you get what you pay for.
I have a 35lb CAP powder coat sitting on my desk right now that will get included in the next iteration of my ongoing kettlebell review, and for what it cost me I could have purchased a much nicer Rep Fitness kettlebell or even a Kettlebell Kings kettlebell currently on sale. The finish on the CAP bell isn't as clean as either of the other two brands and the coating is considerably rougher. I expect this bell will tear up my hands a bit on high rep work.
I also have a 35lb Titan Fitness kettlebell I just bought, and even though it only cost $43 shipped, I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. The finish is sloppy with prevalent seams and burrs on the handle, the coating is unevenly applied, and it wobbles badly when placed on a flat surface. It's so bad that I had to reach out to Titan's customer service to confirm what I got was actually a legitimate product and not a knockoff. I've not yet heard back from them on this yet, but I'm likely going to send it back either way.
I've got a 16kg Yes4All kettlebell on the way, which cost me $40 shipped. I don't have high hopes for it, but if it does happen to surprise me with the quality then I'll update this comment accordingly.
Many people will say "it's just a hunk of metal with a handle, who cares if it's cheap". To some extent that's true, and if you don't use it often then a cheap kettlebell will likely fit your need. However, my view is that anyone serious about training with kettlebells should invest in quality tools. This applies to any training regimen you're serious about. Does a serious runner wear cheap shoes? Will a serious golfer buy cheap clubs?
If you're looking to save some money but still invest in some quality kettlebells, take a look at Rep Fitness or Fringe Sport. Both of them are making good quality kettlebells at reasonable prices.
You may also want to take advantage of the sale Kettlebell Kings is running on Amazon right now, since you can get many of the most common sizes for $10-20 cheaper than the same product on their website, with free shipping.
Missed this post before posting mine, but these Kettlebell Kings bells are fairly cheap (the lighter ones are bit more expensive than the heavier ones): https://www.amazon.com/Kettlebell-Kings-Kettlebells-Prevention-Longevity/dp/B017WB63AA/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_product_top?ie=UTF8
All in pounds though instead of kilos.
I saw one on Amazon but it was currently unavailable.

Anytime I hear someone say they want to get fit but can't afford the gym, I direct them to that video, and the CAP brand kettlebells on Amazon. Affordable, decently-shaped and free shipping.
For 40 bucks you can get going with one 35 lb bell and that video and you'll get into tremendous condition. Plus the internet is packed with other free routines to try out. I wish FIF would release one that uses two kettlebells. My body is ready.
I think /u/abdada has given you the best option, but you said you don't have room for equipment really right? That does seem kind of odd to me as there is no gym within an hour, so I would imagine you're in a rural area with a bunch of space. If you can't get the whole Barbell setup I would look into getting some Kettlebells. It really offers you the most workout diversity in the smallest package.

I'd say start with that, and a chin-up bar.

You can buy wrist guards. Some martial artists have a training goal to toughen the skin, for most people, it isn't a priority.
The only real problem with kettlebell wrist guards is that they don't look like the leather cuffs that Conan the Barbarian wears. Honestly, are the people that sell these things even trying?
I've only ever bought Diamond Pro bells for my personal gym. You can get them from Walmart.com and Jet.com, free shipping and returns. Prices are very competitive. I'm also 99% sure that they're the exact same bells as Onnit, Cap Barbell, and Rep Fitness.
Diamond Pro, 24kg, $59 US, Jet.com
Onnit, 24kg, $85 US, Onnit.com
Cap Barbell, 24kg, $91 US, Amazon.com
Rep Fitness, 24kg, $100 US, Amazon.com
You'll find a lot of love here for Diamond Pro. Affordable, sufficient quality, and decent texture (spray on truck bed liner).
Just got one off of amazon.ca enamel covered and somehow the 45lb is cheaper than the 35lb one. They also have amazon.ca cast iron ones that don't have the enamel. They are cheaper. The one I got looks and feels amazing!

That one. How much did the one you make weigh?
if it works for you without trashing your palms it s ok. once you get more active with the bells you would need to consider to invest in procuring something similar to what Kettlebells USA or Kettlebell King sell as their competition stile. Apart from this my most favorite are the kettlebells from Ader, who you could purchase from Amazon:
https://www.amazon.com/Ader-Pro-Grade-Intl-Kettlebell-12KG/dp/B01IC94HYU/ref=sr_1_2?dchild=1&keywords=kettlebells%2Bader&qid=1569776952&sr=8-2&th=1
I have these and love them. They're expensive but worth it because they take up very little space. I also have one of this. Again, not cheap but worth it.
It's not body weight, but works somthing like this be useful?
https://www.amazon.com/Heavy-Duty-Dumbbell-DryBell-Waterproof/dp/B01E9LAZ6Y
I bit the bullet and ordered off of Amazon. The price is inflated, but they take care of shipping and customs.
Just started moving away from S+S and I to am having trouble with racking. I've watched all the how to vids, and have the same problems as OP. Not banging, open palm, hooking in, etc, but damn does it hurt just resting there.
I'm wondering if it's the kettlebell itself? I have a 35lb jfit one, as well as the pro source 45 lb.
Could the shape of the bells be the issue?
