Troy neoprene dumbbells come in all black in 1# increments from 1# up to 10#, 12#, and 15#. They are good quality dumbbells and great for weight training at home. 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).

In addition, the 1# or 2# dumbbells are great for toddlers/kids wanting to exercise at home with mom and dad.

Like the other reviews here have said, these are great weights. I work out at home so it was important to me that I find weights that wouldn't damage my floors, and these fit the bill very nicely because of the protective coating. The hexagonal shape keeps them from rolling away on me. And they're very affordable. I bought these because they were cheaper than similar dumbbells. (Note that they come in pairs.)

Five stars. Got no issues with these babies. I bought three different pairs but will buy more of the bigger sizes in time.

I ordered a set of 5lb dumbbells. I received my shipment yesterday and to my surprise there was only 1 dumbbell. I will most definately be returning this.

When the dumbbells arrived, I opened the package to find a bad chemical smell from the neoprene. I used the dumbbells for a few minutes, and then my hands had the bad smell. Now that I've had the dumbbells for a few weeks, the smell seems to have mostly gone away.

The size and shape of the dumbbells are fine, and the neoprene has a nice feel to it. The hexagon shape keeps them from rolling away.

The description and the way the product is advertised made it seem as if you were getting a set of 2 dumbbells. Really you only get one. Other than that, it's pretty much what I expected a weight to look and feel like.

What can I say? These are the best dumbbells I have ever used. They are comfortable to grasp, won't roll on the floor, are less likely to bruise the floor and short enough so that unwanted torque effects are minimized. I'm not sure that dumbbells can really be beautiful, but these are good looking.

I had a bad feeling when I placed the order, but was convinced to go ahead by the positive reviews. However, I had the same experience as some of the negative reviews. The title/product description clearly says, "Neoprene Dumbbells Black (Sold in Pairs)." I received one purple dumbbell. Really disappointed and hope it doesn't happen to many others.

We are Happy with our purchase of the dumbells, it is exactly what my son wanted and the service was very fast.

The neoprene dumbbells (6 pound) are very nice. They are well made with a neoprene covering for easy grip and flat ends on the caps so that the dumbbell wont roll when you put them on the floor.

The only problem with my purchase is the listing on Amazon by the company (Online Sports). The listing says "sold in pairs" in the product title and in the product description, but I only received one dumbbell. I emailed the company and received a reply that said that only some dumbbells came in pairs and the six pounders were sold separately. No where in the listing is this stated. I felt that the price and shipping was too high for just one dumbbell. I sent another email stating my disappointment about the misleading ad, and was told that it was a mistake by Amazon. However, I saw in previous feedback that there were complaints about this for several months and the ad has not been modified.

After a couple of emails back and forth with the company, customer service from Online Sports sent me another dumbbell to resolve the issue. I had also received a phone message from them that was very cordial that explained the mistake. I really appreciate that they made things right and I do hope they clarify the listing on Amazon. I suggest that potential buyers contact the company first to see if the dumbbells you are purchasing coming in pairs before ordering. It has been over a month since I have ordered and the listing has not been changed.

I bought a pair of 5lb and 3lb for a workout that I do and I am quite satisfied with this product.

They arrived a day earlier than previously quoted by Amazon.com which was wonderful.

They weigh what they're suppose to, the work looks very high quality and durable, the texture is nice and assures I won't be losing my grip on them, they don't smell like a previous reviewer stated they do (it must've been just their order).

All in all, a solid product at a solid price at a solid deliver speed. I couldn't be happier.
