Not exactly casual wear.
For context I am no regular gym goer and these were bought without much research after a few weeks of lockdown lazyness.Well opening the box, I ordered grey and got black which is a nitpick personally I don't really mind since the intention was to wear them under my jogging gear.there's no sort of scale in the pictures. I was hoping for something I could wear under my regular loose fit jogging outfit but the size of these makes it impossible. Maybe because I went of a higher weight but I doubt I'll be going to the shops with these on without feeling I've got two heavy kiddies armbands strapped to my legs occasionally kicking each other.I seriously can't understate how big and thick these things are. The title says they can be used as wrist weights, well sure if you want to club yourself in the gut or the head when walking along or lifting something from a shelf.Im impressed with the quality for the price they seem like good value the velcro is a minor challenge to undo just to get the things on and the material is soft so no marks or scratches.I don't regret buying them and would recommend them just treat them as more a specialist workout accessory and not some magic leg warmers or socks that will magical give you a six pack........ I've said too much

Of value
I have never used ankle weights before so did'nt know what to expect. Firstly they are very easy to put onand comfortable to use. There is an American exercise that helps with knee arthritis which uses ankle weightsand it works so happy bunny..

Bulky but effective
I use these purely for leg exercises & they do the job very well. They never quite sit comfortably but I think that’s due to their weight but it doesn’t hinder my exercises. Also depends on the size of your ankles. Mine are quite small so this is why the weights never feel tight around my ankles. Would purchase again.

Great ankle weights!
Nice little ankle weights that can be used on your legs or additional weight for arm exercises.The straps are very secure but sometimes I wish it was just a single strap as it's quite a hassle to put them on and take them off. Nonetheless I think these are very nice quality weights and I can highly recommend them.

That's a leg workout
I have been meaning to purchase some ankle weights and I chose the Xn8 because I have the Core Sliders from the same brand. I selected the neoprene material which is a must.I did find the velcro straps a little thin in terms of its thickness but width wise it was sufficient. The weights for the ankle weights do vary, I selected the 2kg (per ankle) ones in purple which is a total of 4kg. I didn't find that they moved during my workout but I only used this for leg workouts I.e donkey kicks, leg raises, leg extensions etc.I was debating which weight to select but found the 2kg perfect for me to start with. I have read that it might be good to start with 1kg though.I like the product and love the resistance these ankle weights give to your overall workout.

Seem pretty sturdy, but the thin velcro straps are uncomfortable
This is my second pair of ankle weights. They seem reasonably well made and are certainly heavier than my previous ones (though I haven't weighed them to check their exact weight). However, the long coloured velcro straps are thin and scratchy and have no padding at all. In order to keep the weights in place they have to be done up quite tight, and these straps make them quite uncomfortable. My previous weights (black 1kg elite body squad ones) weren't perfect, but they had a much more substantial strap which was infinitely more comfortable.I will persevere as the rest of the weights seem okay, but I will probably end up using an extra bit of material under the strap.

Easy to use ankle weights
I have these in yellow half kilo but needed to increase my weights to a pair 1 kilo. Really like these in the bright pink. The different colours mean I can easily pick out the right weights for the exercise programme. They are well made, of good quality and arrived promptly. Can highly recommend.

Non slip Velcro straps!
I use them on my wrists to help strengthen my tennis forehand and backhand.They are fairly comfortable, a little loose perhaps, but the Velcro straps are secure.Attractive colouring, too!
