This isn't intended for any sort of heavy bondage situation, but it makes for a nice beginning piece for someone that's curious about it. The material is soft enough that it won't bite into the ankles or wrists, so there shouldn't be any worry about pain that can come from struggling against metal restraints. On a related note, it's fairly easy to force your way out of the cuffs, which makes it more appealing for those that are new to bondage and not quite comfortable being completely restrained. Bondage is all about control, and the Sportcuffs give away just enough control to give a taste, without having to give it all away.

The design is fairly basic and adequate for most situations. It doesn't seem to hold up well to extended day-to-day use, but for someone that only occasionally uses the cuffs, they should last for years. The design and material aren't anything to brag about, but the cuffs are comfortable when strapped down right. If the cuffs are strapped too loosely, they will slide and chafe against the wrists.

The main downside I've found is that the cuffs just don't fit small wrists very well. If your wrists are too small, you have the choice of letting them run a little loose (and possibly chafing) or not getting as much velcro while fastening them, which can cause them to come loose fairly easily. The design allows for you to easily add an extension between the cuffs for a looser bind, which is nice when flexibility becomes an issue.

The Sportscuffs worked out great. They were exactly what I was expecting and have lasted longer than I expected for a cheaper product. They can easily be swapped between wrists and ankles, and can be detached from each other to make strapping to furniture easier as well. That said, they are exactly what they say they are — don't expect anything more than a set of soft introduction cuffs and you will not be disappointed.

If you're looking for an advanced set of cuffs, these are not the product for you. They will not hold up to suspension, strong resistance, or lengthy daily use.
