NEEDED TO KNOW INFO< QUICK FIXES
This product is an overall decent product, it gets the job done. But i suggest a few things to make them a little more comfortable. The product has 5 separate two pound sand bags encased in a thick enough plastic. In five separate slots on the weight sand bags slide in, then Velcro in. They are not as difficult to get in and out as others have said. all you have to do is get them flat put the bottom edge in, while holding vertical shake the weight in. As if you were shaking a pillow into a pillow case. Another suggestion i do have is that when you have them on the sand likes to fill the bottom of the plastic making them feel tight on the bottom and loose on the top. this is also easily corrected. Take the weights out then flatten on table to get sand even. Then through the middle, horizontally, tape a piece of electrical tape roughly one time around so it pinches both sides of the plastic inwards(Not too much or you'll make it difficult on yourself putting the weights back in the slots). Will make a shape somewhat like a bow tie. Now return the weight to its slot. the sand will now have less room to move while exercising, making a more comfortable snug fit.
