CAP Barbell Neoprene Dumbbell Weights

I was going to order a different brand, but when I read that the neoprene might peel, I decided to go for CAP. They're a couple of dollars more, but my University Extension uses them in the class I'm taking, so I believe they'll hold up. The shipping box totally fell apart but the weights were in perfect condition and exactly what I ordered (I ordered 4's, 5's, and 6's).

Ótimo, exatamente o que eu esperava

Even though the picture shows 12 lbs. I believe this is for my 1 lbs. set.CAP has been around for a long time doing these, so their reputation for a "good value" dumbbell is not to be questioned. Are there more "quality products" out there? Probably, but for the price and quality, this cannot be beat. I would personally rate those neoprene at about a 9.5/10 which is near perfect.1 lbs. is the smallest you can get and these are perfect for what they are. I do a lot of drop sets and wanted to micro-manage my last set with the max I can tolerate after all that pain. Also important if you do boxing or martial arts to "shadow box" with, again with the max you can tolerate on a particular day. Finally those are great for jogging as well. Being black, they don't look corny like... pink, yellow or whatever weird pastel color which most light weights are.If you want to complete your light weights kit, 1 lbs. is nice to have.

I like these dumbbells. They have more weight than most little neoprene covered weights. They don't hurt your hand or feel rough on the kin like other heavy weights with a metal bar. The handle is a little thick if you have small hands. They are sturdy and durable and still look like new after frequent use. There was no odor from the materials. And no assembly or adding weights, just pick them up and start lifting.

I've got the orange 8 lb and the pinkish 5 lb cap CAP hand weights. They are perfect for my workouts. They have a lightly textured surface for grip when your hands get sweaty. The heads of the weights also have a hexagon shape which keeps them from rolling when using under your hands for planks, etc. My hands fit well under the 8 lb weights in plank, but the 5 lb weights don't have quite enough clearance for that to be comfortable. Love the orange color!Cons: You should know the weights do ship in a bag. This isn't great. It's probably 50/50 if your weights arrive damaged or not. And also don't expect a 100% match in the neoprene coverings. One of my weights have a different texture than the other.
