DTX Fitness Ankle/Wrist Weights - Choice of Size

These are the best by far and I have used many and always massively research. Vecro doesn't fray, sand doesn't leak and they are as good after 6 months as when first purchesed. I will never by a differnt brand, even if I have to wait months for delivery.This is my third pair of 2x 5kg weights which I use on wrists and ankles which I use as addition to weight training, ab work and chin ups.For the heavier weights such as 2x 5kg you need double straps and the larger the weights the better. I previously had some (army weights apparently) as I described which were okay for 4 months or so and then the Velcro started to fray meaning I could not keep them tight around wrists and ankles, another reasonable pair the velcro was fine, but the sand leaked (sloly) in a few pouches.I h

Just arrived today and I'm pleased with them. I like the fact there is an overlap area so despite my wrist circumference only being about 6" I can still use them as wrist weights, not sure why other reviewers have said they don't fit their wrists...?They are bulky but I expected them to be. If you're after ankle weights for running / walking you might need to order a lower weight or look at the (more expensive) type which have lead bars in them rather than the cheaper-but-bulkier sand-filled type.They are a bit cumbersome to put on, I'm thinking the trick is to pull it tight enough to feel like you're having your blood pressure checked, by the time you've fastened the velcro and moved your limb a bit, the weight slacks off. I found they moved around a bit during exercise but not enough to be a problem. Like others have said, wearing socks or sleeves underneath to prevent chafing is probably wise.Seem well-made but time will tell. I've had a few sets of sand-filled ankle weights over the years and they all leak or break sooner or later, nothing lasts for ever, so far these look decent.Knocking off 1 star as I have weighed them (on 2 different sets of scales) and they are only 2.8kg each, rather than 3kg as advertised. Personally I don't mind as they will still suit my purposes - leg lifts + additional to dumbbells for arm exercises - and it's not a big deal to do 11 reps instead of 10 :)

Waste of money. Advertised as wrist weights and they don't even fit around my wrists or my husbands. Been begging for a refund but they refuse to pay the 20 pounds in postage for me to send it back. The amount it will cost me to send back is more than I paid. Now I'm stuck with these ridiculously wasted weights

These do the job, but they also add a lot of value in terms of leaving deep black marks everywhere you put them, due to some kind of black residue or seepage. If you, too, fancy marks on your carpet like on the enclosed photo, I strongly recommend these.

Bought them to help strengthen my thigh muscles to help with a knee problem and they do help.

Absolutely brilliant..I wear on my ankles when I'm hoovering.. after abou 4 weeks I can feel muscles in my thighs..I also use as weights for arm reps..great all round product

These are very good. The product is very solid and seems well made. The velcro is strong and the fit is comfortable. The only thing which surprised me is how big they are. I bought the 2*3kg versions, and they are a good 6" high on the ankle.

An immensely sturdy and heavy product. I used these to train the muscles in my leg after an injury. The build quality is great and they are very easy to use. Recommended
