Claim / advertised specification of "0.5 pounds with 8mm thickness" is inaccurate
I wish I had read the other reviews before purchase.Normally the jump rope weight refers to the rope itself, even including the weight of the handles this is not 0.5 lb.Rope: 85.90 g / 3.03 oz / 0.19 lbHandles: 76.40 g / 2.69 oz / 0.17 lbTotal: 162.30 g / 5.72 oz / 0.36 lbThe thickness of the rope is 6 mm, this would be okay in itself but when combined with the lightness of the rope it means that there is very little feedback and it is difficult to control. It definitely does not give the enhanced cardio workout that a weighted jump rope is supposed to.Also: The additional (2nd) bearing within each handle came loose and fell out, they serve no purpose whatsoever.Update: The vendor has contacted me several times, they claim that the product has been improved and they have offered me compensation to delete my negative review because of this. Whilst I have no way of verifying the new product I have since discovered that the majority of weighted ropes are generally underweight. Also: I now realise that I have a personal preference for a very heavy rope, and really struggle with anything lighter. I purchased other ropes from Amazon after this one and was similarly disappointed. In the interest in fairness: I have therefore tempered my previous review and requested refund from the vendor to the value of the original purchase. Whether or not they honour this I will leave this review as it is now.

Lightweight poor quality, not weighted
Totally misdescribed. These are not weighted in any way. They are lightweight cheap toys.
