 Cap Barbell (3#,5#,8# Neoprene) ... Great STARTER Dumbell Set Jun 25, 2006
By mom2boyz
I purchased my Cap Barbell neoprene dumbbell 3#/5#/8# set from another online fitness store about 6 months ago. This set is a great starter set for toning and weight training at home.
These are good quality dumbbells (comparable to Troy brand) and are colored red, aqua and purple. Neoprene dumbbells are less damaging on flooring, don't smell bad, and (because of their hex shape) don't roll away. They are also easier to grip and more gentle on your hands (especially if you prefer to weight train without gloves).
I use these dumbbells almost daily and really like them.

 Not bad, not good Apr 29, 2008

This item isnt really what I would call good quality. Not bad for the price, but still not great either. And after shipping it cost me about 80 dollars total. The weights are nice, and comfortable, however the plastic stand is very poor quality and the assembly screws strip very easily. So be careful what size screwdriver you use... or trust me, they will strip and you wont be able to get them in any further or extract them. Once finally assembled it is very wobbly if the bottom two purple weights aren't there balancing it. So in other words, if you are using the heavy 8 prouder weights and have the other 2 sets (3,5 lbs) up top the stand will most likely fall over, and if you are very unlucky, break in the process. If this were for me I wouldn't care too much, but I got it as a gift for my mother... so I am embarrassed to say the least (she's too nice to say anything about the quality.) In the end I definitely wouldn't buy this as a gift for someone else, but if you don't mind the stand giving you fits then its not bad as a personal starter weight set.

Nice set of weights Feb 11, 2009
By John B. West
I like this set of weights. The stand is really flimsy, but I didn't buy it for the stand so I am happy.

Not bad for the weights.. Stand is garbage! Mar 01, 2010
By mek_man
Overall, for a set of weights this product delivers. However, the packaging was horrible. I opened the box to find what seemed to be a water damaged box that smelled bad. I had to air out the items and wash a few things with some lysol wipes.
Also, the provided stand is a piece of junk. It is not sturdy and can easily topple over. I have a feeling it will crack eventually. The screws for the stand were defective. Of the 7 sent (I am guessing only 6 were supposed to be packaged) 4 were fine and the other three were defective. A Phillips screw has 4 ends of a cross and one of them on the defective screws were filled in. So imagine a "T" instead of a "+". I had to use a flat head screwdriver at an angle to use the screws.
If you don't care for the stand and your package doesn't seem water damaged for $53 you can't go wrong.
