What we liked

  • + Steel core inside a silicone wrap gives balanced weight without sand, and it is water and sweat resistant.
  • + Hook-and-loop elastic strap and repositionable bars adjust the fit for wrists or ankles.
  • + Comes with a travel pouch, and the compact shape is easy to store in a small apartment.

Trade-offs

  • - At $55 for 2 lbs total it costs far more per pound than adjustable sandbag sets.
  • - Fixed 1 lb weights cannot be adjusted, so progression means buying another pair.
