If you need something for ten minutes of exercises or rehab this may be a great product for you
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.

Can reduce shaky hands
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.

Didn't last
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
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.

Great Comfort, Great Design, Great Fit.
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.

Too big, incompatible with VR controllers
(For the 6lb version.)I found these too large to use as wrist weights and almost too large to use as ankle weights, but maybe I'm just small. I don't know. Here are my measurements:Ankle: 9" at narrowest pointWrist: 7" at narrowest pointRelaxed hand: 8.75" at widest pointFlat hand: 9.5" at widest point (fingers together)Fist: 10" at widest point(For both ankle and wrist, I was able to tighten these all the way, with overlap up to where the strap was attached.)I bought these hoping to use them as wrist weights to supplement VR workout games, but I can't use them for that. In the most natural wearing position, with the velcro bit aligning with my thumb, the whole thing would slide off my hand with a hard enough swing. Reorienting it so the velcro part was at the back of my hand helped a bit at the expense of it being harder to put on. But even like that, it was tightest around the middle, so the edge of weight band would end up half-way to my thumb. That might be fine for running, but it made it impossible to use Vive controllers.I switched them to my ankles, and while it didn't feel like they were in danger of falling off, it did feel like too much of them were resting on the top of my foot even at their tightest. This feels vaguely unsafe, like a Damocles sword but for a foot injury. I'd probably be fine with shoes on, but who wears shoes to work out? (Probably most people and I'm just weird.)The build quality does seem good though.

Definitely worth it, good quality.
Very good quality ankle/wrist weights. I'm a bigger boy, 6'1" 220lbs, and they fit great around my ankle & wrists, comfortably. No painful stitched lining or sharp edges. They're soft, durable and silent, (no 'sandbag' sound like cheap older weights). Very good quality, worth the price.

Very Happy With This Purchase
I love these. I am recovering from an iron deficiency and am having trouble exercising like I used to do. So, I purchased these and once an hour I put them on my ankles and lift my leg up from the knee to help strengthen my legs. They are very easy to put on and take off and to use. I am really very happy with this purchase.

SHOUNg Reflective Ankle Weights
Very good. My only complaint is when I ordered 5 lb weights I thought each one was 5 pounds and didn't realize the combined weight of both was 5 pounds which was 2.5 lbs each.

Big for little wrists but great quality.
I just received this item. I will keep it as the price and quality is good. My 4 star is simply because they are so huge lol. It's not a problem, necessarily. The coloured part (in my case green) is full of sand? or whatever they use for weight. They're comfortable and adjust easily enough, I'm just lucky they close around my little wrists without falling off as they are really bulky.

+1 an upgrade from store bought weights
Excellent quality, stitching is very good and supports the beads well. The metal clips are not stitched right at the edge so they don't rub up against you like some other brands do. Inner material is soft against the skin and dries quickly. An upgrade from what you traditionally find in stores.Used daily for calisthenics and stair climbing.

Thanks!
Very nice product for beginners. If you are thinking these are not heavy enough I'd think twice bc I wear these for 2 hours and the next day I feel it all the way into my shoulders! I'd image these are enough weight for most females depending on the fitness goal - Men could handle the heavier sets but I don't think I'll ever need more than these. Arrives very fast as well.

Love These Ankle Weights
They are heavy enough to provide a good workout. The material is comfortable and breathable. Easy to use straps. My old ankle weights used to lose metal beads everywhere, making a big mess, but these ones are well sealed.

Added challenge to standard workouts
I bought these weights to challenge my usual HIT workouts and they are definitely increasing the intensity. I think they are a bit pricey for what they actually are. Slight factory smell which I hope will go away with time. They are easy to put on and secure when jumping. Although they are just ankle weights, I use them as free hand weights as well. Too big to fit as true wrist weights.

Does the job effectively, to help straighten the right knee which was replaced
Two ankle weights, totalling 5 pounds, which I put on my right ankle and lay face down with my foreleg over the end of the bed including the knee. The weights weigh down the foreleg, stretching the back of the knee to help straighten the leg, as close as possible to the left leg. I let the weights drag my foreleg down for one minute, which hurts, relax for a half minute and repeat three times, several times a day, building toward a hold of two minutes between repeats - whew! You have to straighten the leg as well as bend the knee and have to do it before it stiffens up beyond recovery - takes discipline and tolerance for pain and discomfort, but the only way to recover.

A good quality product!
I was actually pleasantly surprised by these weights. I was looking for weights for my daily physio. I didn't want to spend too much, so I went for this brand. It had good reviews and the price was right. So far, I've been using the weights for a week, and they are super! They are comfy and easy to put on and take off. The Velcro strap enables you to easily adjust them to the ankles, to the comfort level you want. Excellent weights for me.

Honest review
Gotta love these the next step is to make them more low profile so I can wear them casually under pants and train 😅

Excellent value. Speedy delivery. Exactly as described.
They slip down a bit. Will try to tighten them more. Mine are 2-lbs each. I have small wrists! First time I bought wrist weights so I have nothing to compare them too. I use them on my peleton and in summer while power walking. Very quick delivery. Overall satisfied.

Great leg workout.
5 pounds each. It is a good workout just going about your day. I hate going to the the gym. These are made of good quality material. Nice BIG velcro strip.

Good
I use these in the public swimming pool and they have held up so far. I do wish they were more malleable though as they are a bit awkward to wear around my ankles. They seem to have a part inside that is solid, which stops it from molding to the ankle.

Good value for your money
I’m small and these stay put well. I’ve gotten pinched once of twice by the metal but way less than any other brand I’ve used. I would order them again.

Great!
Hopefully they hold up through vigorous workouts. Otherwise they are comfortable to wear and a good value. Would buy this brand again.

Great for beginner to advanced!
Amazing weights that are easy to take on and off because the velcro keeps the weights in place. Base be used both on the ankles and wrists. The weight is perfect for everyday use and for an introduction to increased weight workouts.
