Powerhouse Ankle and Wrist Weights

Advantages: A good workout for the forearms, and addictive too.
Disadvantages: Sometimes tricky to get started.

...PRODUCT OVERVIEW: The powerball is a handheld gyroscope (essentially a spinning weight). After setting the gyroscope in motion using a length of cord, the rate of spin of the gyroscope can be increased by rotating your wrist faster and in ever-decreasing circles. Very soon you will begin to feel feedback from the powerball and more and more effort will be required to spin the ball faster. WHO SHOULD BUY THIS PRODUCT? The powerball is meant to be (and is - see later) a great workout for your wrist, forearms, biceps and helps strengthen grip. As such, it is designed for those who play a lot of raquet sports (tennis, badminton, squash...) as well as golfers, rock climbers and so on.

This allows more divers of differing sizes to feel comfy in an off-the-peg suit design. It also allows for a bit of give when needed, without making the diver resemble Bibendum (or the Michelin Man, to the uninitiated!). MATERIALS DUI made my drysuit out of trilaminate, which is effectively three layers of material sandwiched together. It offers little insulation... Read review

...friction or irritation. The strap itself is made from nylon webbing with a wicker liner, which allows the skin to breath and reduces sweating, it also has a soft edge to reduce rubbing. The grips have a positive angle, meaning that the 15 degree angle just below the grip loops the wrist in a natural, relaxed position; this allows for better load bearing apparently but it’s also very comfortable.

The inside surfaces of the hollow pole are textured so they is extra grip for the locking mechanism of the expander.
