Coast Athletic Pool Wrist & Ankle Weights (7lb Pair)

I love these weights. After having had several other sets that strap on with velcro, when I saw these I was like "Yes!" Those with velcro straps have the prickly part of the velcro on the strap itself. And since the weights are usually not long enough to go all the way around your legs, that means the prickly velcro is going to be scratching your skin or snagging your socks. Then, the velcro must be very strong to hold the weights and will eventually wear out, making the weights useless.So the previous pair I had were the soft neoprene with velcro on the very ends. These were better but still were not great because the velcro does not match up and I still get scratched or socks snagged. And the velcro eventually wore out.So that is why I love these so much. I can see these lasting for many more years. I don't wear them in the water.The only minor issue is that once you get them on and adjusted, the extra part of the strap hangs down, so they have velcro on the end of it so you can attach it and not have to worry with it, which is great, but one of them has the velcro missing on the end of the strap.But since these are great in every way, I cannot take off a whole star for such a minor issue. I have some velcro I already bought at a local store for just such a purpose, and I cut a piece off and attached it and do not expect to ever need to remove it since I am the only one who will be using the weights.I love the fact that they are soft and are long enough and can lay over on the top of your shoes so that there is not a weight pressing down on one spot on the top of your foot and cutting of the circulation, which is an issue I had with the harder weights. I cannot recommend these enough.

I have owned 2 different types of weights for the pool and these are by far the best.Excellent that they have 2 secure methods when putting them on: 1. Clip fasten (primary hold) 2. Velcro /Hookk&loop (snug and tightens as you pull)I have had other pairs that advertise "water exercise" , and rust , intake water and seep nasty brown stuff. These dry off and dont seem to absorb water like the other.They make swimming hard! perfect for a WHOLE range omg best workout.

Great product, but my wife was unable to get a snug fit around her wrists the way the strap works. This is NOT a defect, the product just does not work well if your wrists are small. I would have probably been OK for her ankles, but that was not the desired use. Had to return and now looking for another wrist weight strap with a tighter fit.

These are way too big for my average size wrists, even with the strap pulled all the way to the end OK for ankles, but I wanted them for wrists so I wouldn't have to use the styrofoam weights for pool aerobics (too hard to hold onto with arthritis). They fit my husband's larger wrists okay, so he's keeping them, and I'll keep looking for a smaller size. Have not used in pool yet...will update.

these have such a horrible, permeating odor after one use (and I wore them to work out in the pool twice), that despite drying, despite trying to let them air out, despite washing, they would make everything in my bag stink, everything in the car stink, even the trunk and it was nauseating. I had to throw them away, I couldn't even stand to smell them long enough to pack them up and try to get a refund, and I'm pissed.

They are well-made weights, but no one can seem to put them on well enough, so they have chafed everyone's ankles and are not used now. My husband may re-engineer them so they are not a total waste of money.

Really great for back pain. Just need to relax on floats with the weights for 10 minutes. Need 5 lbs on each ankle

I use these every morning in the pool. Trying to build up my lower body. l They are wonderful.
