Customer Reviews
Shoddy workmanship and poor design 
2008-03-05
I purchased two different pairs of these: 1 pair of 10lb wrist weights, 1 pair of 20 lb ankle weights. Both pairs are leaking the steel shot that makes them heavy. Both pairs leave black dust on the floor. I am concerned about lifting these over my eyes and face due to these leaks. I must sweep the floor after each use to clean up the shot and black dust that they produce.
I can not tighten either pair to the point necessary to keep them from sliding and twisting without putting extra layers of fabric (socks, etc) underneath.
I have only owned these for 2 months or so and I'm already shopping for replacements. I would NOT recommend these.
Definitely NOT a wrist weight. 2007-12-03
This is purely a case where a vendor figured they sell one item as another by simply calling it something else. I'm a big guy (6'2", 200 lbs) and I couldn't begin to wear these as wrist weights. They slide/flop/spin/etc. all over the place. They ARE great ankle weights, securely fastening and staying in place. I wear them on training runs with a weight vest. Originally I had bought them to wear as wrist weights while running as 10lb. per arm wrist weights are pretty much impossible to find. Without a thumb hole (which would allow you to stabilize the thing), they just don't work. So, as an ankle weight 4 stars. As a wrist weight? Hardly. This vendor needs to check their marketing practices.
Good product for the ankles 2007-07-30
First, this is not a wrist weight. I purcahsed the 20lb wrap and it says that it is a wrist weight. I believe this is, if not false advertising, then pushing the envelope. There is no difference in the design from a normal ankle weight, you just tie it around your wrist. You would think if it could accomodate the wrist, they would design it so you could pass your wrist through the middle for better support. At 20 lbs, you can't have this slipping all over the place on your arm which it does. So, as a wrist weight it gets 0-1 stars. As an ankle weight, it is what it is and gets the job done. I'd give it a 3 if they sold it as only an ankle weight and didn't try to make it more than it is, but 2 stars for misleading marketing.
