These packs are very user friendly in my opinion. I am a heavy 280 pound guy and each pack still fits very comfortably around my wrist or ankle. Some people say thety are hard to keep in place or bulky. For me the bulk only came into play when the weight is heavy and as for slipping just play with it a little and you will find it works very comfortably. Bottom line, if you want weights to add resistance as you do your regular exercises these are great but they are really great for those who are exercising after an injury to build their strength and mobility back. Highly recommended.
5 Stars: EXCELLENT!!! I LOVE EVERYTHING ABOUT THE PRODUCT! Nothing needs improvement. Highly highly recommended.
4 Stars: Pretty Good Product! There is at least one little thing I do not like.
3 Stars: Average/Good. Ok product. Not great. Something or a few things need improvement.
2 Stars: EH! Don't bother wasting your money. There is a lot that needs attention with this product.
1 Star: AWFUL! Run, don't walk! Go find another product. This one is HORRIBLE!
Thank you for taking the time to read my review.
This product is an overall decent product, it gets the job done. But i suggest a few things to make them a little more comfortable. The product has 5 separate two pound sand bags encased in a thick enough plastic. In five separate slots on the weight sand bags slide in, then Velcro in. They are not as difficult to get in and out as others have said. all you have to do is get them flat put the bottom edge in, while holding vertical shake the weight in. As if you were shaking a pillow into a pillow case. Another suggestion i do have is that when you have them on the sand likes to fill the bottom of the plastic making them feel tight on the bottom and loose on the top. this is also easily corrected. Take the weights out then flatten on table to get sand even. Then through the middle, horizontally, tape a piece of electrical tape roughly one time around so it pinches both sides of the plastic inwards(Not too much or you'll make it difficult on yourself putting the weights back in the slots). Will make a shape somewhat like a bow tie. Now return the weight to its slot. the sand will now have less room to move while exercising, making a more comfortable snug fit.
Pros:
-Very secure--no slipping around or sliding off if you make them tight
-Two different sets of rings allow weights to be adjusted to large or small ankles easily
-Can be adjusted from 1-5 pounds in 1-pound increments
-Store easily and take up little space
Cons:
-The rings make the weights take longer to put on than a simple velcro-wrap weight; however, the rings also make the weights fit on so securely
-Weights are slightly larger than other weights, but not by much
In general, I find these weights a valuable addition to my knee strength training program. In addition to these weights, I have purchased a Schwinn AD2 Airdyne Exercise Bike and a Stamina 15-0120 InStride Cycle XL (see my reviews of these items) to complete my efforts to strengthen my knees.

me parece buen producto por el precio que tiene, no le eh sacado peso por que no lo creo necesario.
hasta el dia de hoy no lo eh usado mucho pero se ve de calida media-alta, supongo que el tiempo de vida dependera de la intensidad del uso.
Si lo recomiendo si no quieres gastar tanto.
Usar calcetin alto y grueso debajo es recomendable ya que despues de caminar un rato se mueve y puede llegar a incomodar considerablemente
Only draw back, is they fit big. Smaller body frame you max out the tightness, there can be some movement and rubbing on the ankles
