Customer Comments: These are great. When I got them and took them out of the box I was shocked at how light they were and thought they would be useless. I was wrong. Once you get them into the water the water resistance makes them work really well. I highly recommend them.
We use these at the local Y in our water exercise class: so I bought a set for my second home's pool. They are great, you can use them in many ways, from water walking to push downs for the upper arms.
