Meister Elite Portable Sand Kettlebell - Soft Sandbag Weight - 10/15/20lb

Extremely durable and do not leak!

I had an old weighted vest that I used to use, but it started to fall apart. However the weight was adjustable, and came in small nylon bags that weighed just about a pound apiece. So I just dropped the required number of bags in the KB with no mess, or leakage. It works fine. Worth the price as far as I'm concerned.

I purchased one of these for the specific purpose of using various amounts of weight and for the "softness" of the item. I have other, iron kettlebells but wanted something that I could change the weight according to my needs. You can fill these with sand, or even sand/2.5 pound standard plates, etc. to make them useable over a wide range of weights. The material is tough, it doen't leak (I admit I was a little worried about that). You may find a compromise compared to regular, iron steel kettlebells in that the handle flexes and moves about a bit - but that doesn't bother me. Very good product and I'd buy more from this producer.

I have tried many other sand kettlebell bags. Every other one has the sand leak out. Now not that the sands was leaking out of the bag due to a rip in the material. It is the puff of sand dust that comes out from most outer bags. This material does not allow for that. Extremely durable.

Super pissed that this item didn’t come with sand nor did it say you would have to fill it

I filled mine with 2 bags of fish-aquarium pebbles (5 lb bags) and it was a good fit. I like the way it handles, but with some of the exercises, it's a little too big and swings too much because it has no rigid handle. But I like it overall!! Great for travel. I just buy the bags of pebbles wherever I am, and then dump them on the ground when I leave. They're cheap.

These are great. I ended up buying more bags direct from Meister when they were sold out on Amazon. I put 5lbs of sand in zip lock gallon bags and layered the zip locks in the Meister bags. It helps keep sand from sifting through the Meister bag (which shouldn't normally happen but might develop after prolonged use). Also, I overloaded the Meister bags by 5lbs (10 --> 15, 15 --> 20, 20-->25) with no problems. If I want to go back, I just pull out a zip lock bag. Great for kettlebell swings and regular lifts. The handles pinch once in a while, but I've learned to watch out and I still highly recommend the product despite that quirk. The roll-and-clip style of the handle also means there's some instability, which will benefit your lifting as your body works to overcome the slight destabilization. If these weights are "light" for you, that feature will help to validate your decision to buy. I've had these over 6 months, use 3-5 times a week, and I'm very happy with this purchase. Oh yeah - sand not included. But 50lbs of sand costs about $3 at Home Depot.

Great product and value/price for your money is worth your money. Durability is excellent.
