I picked up these Paeta 5 Lb handweights for myself and my hubby. We needed some new ones. I recently discovered one of our 5 lb weights is missing. There has got to be a gnome somewhere in my house....socks, random things, and now a whole 5 lb handweight? I mean, seriously? Because of that, when I saw these I decided to try them. They are a great neutral color. Not quite white, not quite cream. I'd say a VERY light creamy khaki color. So they go well with any decor regardless of the color scheme or whatever. My husband has had 3 spinal fusion surgeries and hes extremely limited in what he can do to exercise and stay active. He is able to walk on the treadmill and do handweights. (I'm secretly happy the gnome got the other 5 lb weight bc we needed new ones anyway.) These are also a weight that I can easily handle on the treadmill too. The grip on them is really nice. It doesn't hurt my hands at all, some do. I have girly dainty skin I guess. But its easy for something like this to cause blisters on my hands. These so far have not done that and we have been using these for a solid 2 weeks. No blisters for me! I would have gotten them already if I was going to. I dont mind the price for such a great company. Besides, I think the price is a decent value for the quality. So far they have been very durable. Neither of us are hard on things. We dont just drop them on the floor, we set them down, so I dont expect them to be, nor to get, banged up. None of the grip has worn off in any spot, and they get used at least once a day, sometimes 2. I dont always do the treadmill everyday, but my husband does. So they get used once every single day at the very least. To me they dont even look used at all. Thats a great thing to me. If you want to keep them clean, I would suggest washing your hands really good before using them. That will help them to stay looking new! We have also only been using these for about 2 weeks though, so I dont expect them to look very used after only 2 weeks of simply walking on the treadmill 1-2 times a day.
I have no cons for you. These are great handweights, the grip is nice and has a nice feel, and so far its very durable. This is a great brand! I absolutely will be slowly replacing all of our handweights with its equal from Paeta. We are super happy with these 5 lb handweights and I think you will be too!
