I got myself a 6 lbs., 7 lbs. and 9 lbs. pairs, so this review will be the exact same for all those three sizes since they are identical apart from the weight and size.
CAP has been around for a long time doing these, so their reputation for a "good value" dumbbell is not to be questioned. Are there more "quality products" out there? Probably, but for the price and quality, this cannot be beat. I would personally rate those neoprene at about a 9.5/10 which is near perfect.
They are VERY comfortable in terms of grip and the size is proportioned. Extremely easy to work out with, won't slip from your hands either and sweat won't be a problem with those.
What I liked the most is that I could find a 6, 7 and 9 lbs. which are very odd and rare formats to find. Most "kits" offer 3 lbs., 5 lbs., 8 lbs. or 10 lbs. but anything in between is near impossible to find. For me that matters since I do a lot of drop sets and wanted to micro-manage my last set with the max I can tolerate after all that pain. Also important if you do boxing or martial arts to "shadow box" with, again with the max you can tolerate on a particular day.
My only tiny complaint is the font they used for the numbers which doesn't fit the rest of my dumbbells from CAP. Not sure why they decided on a different font type for those, but it distracts a bit when you look at the rack and see that they don't seem to be exactly from the same collection. It's subtle though seriously and only my OCD self probably notice. Weights are weights and I'm glad CAP still makes those odd sizes.
