SHOUNg Adjustable Velcro Strap Fit Ankle Weight or Wrist Weight Sets with Safe Reflection Designed (1-8lbs)

REGARDING THE 10lb VERSION:To be very clearly, the 3/5 for this product is only because of comfort, which seems to be exclusively a problem with the metal connector for the velcro strap, and is only really an issue on longer wears. I wear this product to make my workout tougher, and use it to run to the gym, wear it for about an hour and a half of exercise, including lifting and for cardio, and walk back with it. If you need something for ten minutes of exercises or rehab this may be a great product for you.Quality 4/5: The fabric is soft, the material and seams seem strong and unlikely to leak bits of iron sand. The velcro holds wells. The sand stays somewhat well dispersed, but does tend to move a bit towards one side or the other, but can easily be adjusted by a bit of shaking.Comfort: 2/5 The weight portion is comfortable and cloth is soft and unabrasive, but the connector, where the single velcro strap wraps around a small metal buckle, becomes uncomfortable within about ten minutes, as the metal piece is not protected and rubs against the ankle. I've mostly resolved this problem wearing taller socks and wrapping a small piece of cloth around the buckle. THAT BEING SAID, I've tried several of these products and have no found a comfortable solution. These are more comfortable then most, and do the job with some slight modification. I have thinnish ankles, I'm not sure if the problem would be better or worse with large ankles.Look 5/5: You look like an idiot wearing big ole ankle weights. A dedicated sweaty idiot! Deal with it, these are a plenty fashionable product for what they are.Weight 5/5: They weigh almost exactly 5lbs each.

Wife is a porcelain artist whose hands now shake more with age and each passing year. Her neurologist recommended she try a wrist weight. One of these wrist weights was just the right amount of weight to dampen most of her right hand shaking.

I was quite disappointed in the durability of the fabric on these ankle weights. After a couple months of use, they wore completely through just by rubbing against my jeans, and the dark colored fragments spilled out. They should be manufactured with a longer-lasting, more durable fabric. I won't buy this brand again.

I got the 10 lb weights (black) and I love the weight, they're great, however, my ankles are tiny. The size said it could adjust to 5 inches, but it does not seem like they do. So that being the case, the metal loop that I use to adjust the strap with is either stuck on my Achilles tendon or the front of my foot, the other tendon. And it hurts so bad when I do the slightest bend at the ankle. I really wanted to love these because the weight is great, but it's too large, no matter how small I try to adjust them- they slide my socks down and sag to my heels and drag on the floor if I wear them without shoes. So yeah two things- 1: they're painful because of the metal loop, and 2: they're too big and cause other problems.

Before I bought this I searched for a five pound wrist weight that would fit as tight as a comfortable watch. Other reviewers said it would and they were correct. It fits snugly/perfectly on my wrists. The stitching and design of these seems to be mechanically and aesthetically excellent, so I tried them on ankles to see if they were better than the floppy five pound ankle weights I already have. The weight part covers the front 270 degrees of ankle, but they are snug so its perfect. They don't slip around. For now, I am going to use these excellent weights on my ankles and use 2.5 lb weights on my wrists to build back up to these. Then, I will get another pair so I will have them on both wrists and ankles. I don't see how this very comfortable and well designed product could be improved.
