I used the weight bag to hold down a Christmas figure that was top heavy. It did the job perfectly.

its lead shot in a bag, what more can you ask for? no issues.
Just like the hard weights, Sea Pearls lead shot is manufactured from lead that has been reclaimed from car batteries. The reclaimed lead is melted down and supplemented with small amounts of other elements to enhance its properties. This new alloy is then used to create #5 lead shot. The shot is carefully measured and sewn into heavy-duty nylon mesh bags. Quick draining and drying design.
The most comfortable weights available, if you are placing them in weight pockets hanging from a belt or placing them in your quick-release weight integrated BCD you won't find a more comfortable weight type on the market. Soft outer material allows the thousands of lead shot balls to conform to your equipment or more important your body shape. If you have gotten bruises from hard weight resting on your hip bone these weights will eliminate that problem for you. Weight pockets have double needle stitched sewn seams for strength and prevention of lead shot loss. Each pouch has a tab loop for easy handling. Soft weights are available in 8 weight sizes of 1 lb. to 10 lbs. (0 45 to 4 55 kg). Proudly made in the USA

The website of the manufacturer does not state they are sealed nor does the provided datasheet. I would surmise from this they are not sealed. However, I have used mine at least half a dozen times and have yet to see any discoloration or running white color coming from them.
Shopper
Are these sold in a qty of 1? in other words if I order 2 lbs is that (2) 1 kb weights or (1) 2 lb weight?
MICHAEL S
1 qty - 2lb weight
GINA I
Yes if you ordered 1 it would be one 2lb weight

When you "select size" on the Sea Pearls Lead Shot weights page, you are selecting the size (weight) of each individual weight you wish to purchase. You then select the number of weights of that size (weight) you wish to purchase (in the box to the left of the "Add to Cart" button) The number is 1 by default but you can change that to purchase as many weights of that size (weight) you want and then click on the "Add to Cart" button. Clicking "Add to Cart" will display a pop-up window where you can view what you've put in the cart and the cost of those items. Verify that the cost equals the cost of each individual weight multiplied by how many of them you want to purchase.

Do these bags have a grommet as an integral part of the bag? Intend to use for diving/fishing marker
MITCH G
Not on the version I received.
STANLEY W
They do not
ALLEN T
The bags I received do not have grommets, simply a sealed weight back that I use in the flank pockets of my BCD when needed for added ballast
sarah b
what fabric are these made from? is the fabric fire retardant?
LES S
Its a nylon fabric, I do not think its fire retardant.

I'm thinking about these for a completely different purpose: basically, ready made lead shot bean bags. But it would help to know their physical dimensions, as they'll be replacing cast iron weights that take up too much room. Anyone know? particularly about the 4 lb. weight. Thanks,
TERRY M
I think they're about 3x4", but was is really good about these type of weights is you can mold them to fit in the pouches.
Harold N
Thanks very much! I found a local dive shop that didn't have these in stock but the owner had a few of his own to show me and they seem very close in size to what you said. Think they'll work very well for my application.
