Design using bags of (sand?) wasn't easy to adjust to a lower amount of weight. I've seen better designs and wasn't satisfied by this design.

it works and the pockets are too tight and smaller vs the orig one

They are so big and bulky they don't wrap around my wrist tight enough. Its just too much material for only 5lbs.

Others have commented on the cheap material and poor design.I will only add that the tedious fastening/unfastening process is by itself a deal-breaker (5-10 min each time even with practice). And if not fastened just right, the product slides and abrades the ankles with course material.

They would be great... if the pockets for the sandbags were sewn the correct size for the sandbags, and the sandbags didn't leak. They're removable so you can adjust your weights, but after taking them out and *trying* to put them back in, the plastic bags develop little holes and leak sand. The pockets for the bags are also too tight. A little re-engineering and these could be great. Maybe use a solid weight in each pocket? Maybe sew the pockets big enough for easier removal and reinsertion of the weight? Other than that, the rest of it seems to be well made and durable, though I'm not sure how long the velcro will last. Velcro has a habit of fuzzing out and no longer holding.

If you remove the weights they're really difficult to get back in. Basically sandbags, hard to get in or out. They're fine if you aren't adjusting them.

I've been using this product for over 30 years. It's always been a reliable well built product until 2021 to date. My last three orders have proven to demonstrate inferior quality end clips both male and female sides. There are multiple issues but mostly it appears that the clips are just made cheaply. Some of them broke just clipping itself together. I still have a pair that is about 15 years old that demonstrate a huge difference in clip quality. When speaking with the owner of Trident he accused me of using them incorrectly and thati didn't know what I was talking about. Find another ankle weight!

Bulky and very uncomfortable and very inconvenient to put on and take off

Not comfortable. Way too big for ankles. Cheaply constructed.

It doesn’t stay and not comfortable at all. Have to return.
