I had a really nice, discreet pair from Ross that has begun to wear. This pair from Amazon is ok, but they are not quick to put on or remove. I'll be looking for a better pair, but they'll suffice for now.

My old pair had one Velcro strip to wrap around the ankle weights and one vwas good to go. These have 2 straps per leg and often come loose while trying to secure the second strap. I rarely use them, unfortunately, becasue by the time i get them on the class has gone through half the leg exercises.

There are no straps to connect them on your ankle

These were not great when I tried them around my ankles. It's difficult to make them very tight, so they will essentially rest on the top of your shoes. For me, some of my exercises are without shoes. In that case, it felt like they were going to slip off. Around my arms did not work well either. HOWEVER, I was able to fashion the two ankle pieces into a single weight belt of sorts (see pictures). It was actually quite comfortable and held well because the velcro straps are strong. Not sure if the "belt" idea will work for all body sizes, but it did work for me being an average sized guy. My recommendation would be to simply pursue buying a weighted vest but these ankle weights can work for some wearing shoes, or work for others (with modification).

The inserts are not solid pieces that slide out for adjusting weights. They are small bags of sand that are difficult to reinsert, making adjusting weights impractical. Well made heavy fabric. Great if you want only a 10 lb weight.

It works on ankle but it's uncomfortable.They are too big on the arm. It doesn't get tight enough for forearms.

The box did not come damaged but when I opened it and went to put it on, I realized there is a hole at the bottom of one of the pockets that a weight sits in. The weight/sandbag can just slip right out! So disappointed that I can’t even use it properly!

The straps are a pain. 2 skinny on each side that go through 2 loops each.

I ordered this product to do "Clam Shell" exercises to heal a hip replacement. While I do like the fact that I can adjust the weights by removing the sand bags that are used to adjust the overall weight, one of the 2 arrived with a rip in the nylon at the seam. Really only need 1 at about 2 - 3 pounds, so I'm not going to bother to go to the trouble of returning. Made in China, I don't really expect much better but they were shipped in an Amazon box, and I guess there isn't a lot of quality control when they open the box and put it on the shelf to prepare individual shipments.

These were huge. I had to return because they covered half my calf.
