   I used to have ankle weights with iron bars in them, the iron bars hurt my ankles and so when they wore out I got Valeo Adjustable Ankle/Wrist Weights, 20 lb. Combined Weight, Pair.

   They wore out in 14 months.

   I just got these weights, so it’s an initial impression, but:

   1. Easier to put on and take off with a single buckle instead of the dual D-rings of the Valeo weights.

   2. Coarser nylon material than the Valeo weights. Hope it will last longer. The extra friction helps prevent sliding, though not quite as comfortable against the skin. (Not slipping much more important than the feel against the skin, I think.

   3. For whatever reason, the Valeo weights pressed against my malleoli (bumps on the inside and outside of the ankle) and after an hour or two the pressure there was quite uncomfortable. I’m not getting that with these weights.

   These came exactly as expected, heavy. Each one is an adjustable up to 10 Lbs of weight. The ONLY draw back on this one that kept it from being a 5 stars is the fact that it doesn’t fit on your arms “properly” unless your arms are as thick as your legs. It doesn’t slide too much but it’s enough to be a slight bother.

   it’s better than the previous 2 sets of ankle weights i got. It had tighter grip and feels more comfortable…

   These weights work well for leg extensions and other stationary exercises, but they would not stay put well enough for walking or running. I like the fact that they are adjustable up to 10 lb per weight.
