GREAT out of the Box. Kicked them up with homemade lead shot bags.
Out of the box the quality was great. After researching, I chose this one. I do NOT plan to run or treadmill or do vigorous exercises with them. I am in an aggressive PT program to restore my left knee which was shattered in an accident. So my use was to do leg or quad lifts and as I become stronger, I will need more weight.I removed one of the sandbags and then had two choices. Use a seam ripper or Exacto knife and open the top and dump the sand. OR construct a bag that has lead shot in it.I opted to clone one of the bags and fill it with #7-1/2 lead (shotgun) shot. The sandbags weight around 10.7 Oz. I could easily get 42 (2#-10 Oz) in the same envelope or volume. My DW stressed over finding some RipStop nylon kite material for the new bags or using something like denim. Turns out the solution was even simpler. I used a small sandwich bag that was approximately the same length as the original sandbag and put it in a plastic cup and zeroed the scale. Added 42 Oz of Shot. Laid the bag on its side and spread out the shot a bit so that the overall profile closely matched the original. Trimmed off the excess and and folded over the rest and “Scotched” it closed. Then I used a heavy duty first aid tape and laminated it to the bag, so essentially, I had a cloth bag as the tape overlaps the edges of the adjacent strips and the end. NOW, the Engineer kicked in. I needed a slick surface to assist in getting the bag to slide into the pouch.Found a slightly larger Freezer bag and cut off the excess. I then sealed the long edge with HD clear packing tape and folded over the end and sealed it. I have primary, secondary and tertiary containment. The new bags slip in easily and should not be a spillage risk.Substituting 2 42 Oz plastic shot filled bag for 2 of the sand kicked up one weight to 7.5#....which was my target. If you remove and substitute ONE lead filled bag, you have increased the 3.5 # to around 5.5 pounds.VERY INEXPENSIVE way to get a quality set of leg or ankle weights and then be able to adjust and increase the weight.VERY pleased with them out of the box and even more so after I constructed the lead shot bags.

I think it is perfect right especially for beginners.it is made of cotton which is very comfortable and soft against my ankles and fits snugly.It is also very affordable. I examined the stitching, I feel I have nothing to worry about the tears.It is a very nice product, I love it.

High quality and affordable!
I bought these weights to assist with rehab post knee surgery. I really like the detail to quality that was used to make these weights. The stitching is strong and the fabric used is a thick neoprene. The neoprene feels smooth against skin and helps with moisture control. The weight is easy to adjust and provides a good amount of resistance for training. Everything about this product has met my expectations. I definitely recommend this product.

These Weights are Perfect
I looked at many ankle weights and selected these, and I'm so glad I did. They are easily adjustable, use hard-packed sand for the weights, and fit well. I had knee surgery and started doing legs lifts with just one weight added in. As I progressed in healing, I could add more each week until I now have all the weights in. The ankle weights are durable and will last a long time.

Ajustable weights!
Quality is good- size perfect for ankle or wrists!!But I think what I like the best is the ability to go from light to heavy to adjust the work out, no need for multiple products.

Just what I needed
Preparing for knee replacement next month. Happy to get these yesterday. Removed 3 weights from each sleeve yesterday afternoon, put them on, and went for a walk. Very comfortable. In 90 plus degree heat they did not irritate my ankles. The weight was just right & I’ll slowly increase until surgery. Will help with recovery & maybe I’ll loose some more weight. Thank you for an excellent product.

Defective and poor quality
I bought this ankle weight set end of Feb. I used it less than 3 months (a few times per week) and one of them is coming part already (see the photo). Soon the tear will be big and one of the weights will fall out. It shouldn't do this so soon. Amazon or the seller, please respond back to me and allow exchange or refund.

Great value for price
I wasn't sure if this product would be good but it has surprised me. It's very comfortable and I can change up the weights from light to heavy depending on the day and what kind of workout I want to have.I can wear them on my arms and ankles and they work really well. I think it's great for the price I paid.

Great product!
Super convenient it's 5lbs each but you can adjust it starting at a light weight and work your way up according to your workout or how challenging your want it to be.Your not limited to just one weight like most love it highly recommended

A great adjustable ankle weight
I bought these for my pre-teen daughter for a dance class and love that the weights are removable to easily adjust the overall weight on her ankle. The straps are adjustable as well to fit tiny little ankles (would work on a wrist as well).

Good quality product
Great quality product. Fits well around my wrists and the 5lbs is enough resistance for arm exercises (flies).

As advertised
They are as advertised and were delivered on time. The only complaint I have us one of them is stained. Not sure if this meant it was an already used and returned item which would be a little gross. Other then that, they weren't damaged.
