Customer Reviews

Valeo AW5 weights are THE BEST!
I have also purchased weights called 'The Cuff' & another brand - but they don't compare to the Valeo weights. Not only can you remove individual weight packets from each weight attachment - but the entire design is SUPERIOR: Valeo weights close with a 'D' ring plus velcro straps, so the straps don't stick out (I wore a rubber band around the other designed weights to hold the strap down, lest it catch on something &/or come loose) & the Valeo's are SECURE & SAFE! They stay exactly where I put them around my ankles when I walk through brush, etc. The Valeo's don't twist or loosen, regardless of what I'm doing. I would recommend these over all the just 'wrap around velcro straps' closures, without the 'D' ring design, to everyone considering buying any wrist or ankle weights. Don't waste money on the inferior designs (that actually cost MORE!).

awkward
I bought these weights to go on my wrists so I could build up strength. I have a hard time wearing them because they fit very awkwardly. They don't adjust tight enough to fit my wrists (I'm a woman) so they eventually slip off. They are kind of long so it makes it difficult to wear them while doing other things. What attracted me to these weights was the adjustable weight (5-10 lbs.) but after you take a weight out of its pocket it is a real pain to get back in.

barely acceptable
I have one big problem with these ankle weights: they slip down and don't stay on well. I keep tightening them to no avail. so exercise is an exercise in frustration. Other than that, they seem to be well constructed and of good quality. I'm sure they will last a long time. But I don't recommend them, regardless.
