Are the weights coated/protected against sweat and rusting?

They do have some type of coating on them, so not just bare metal. If you sweat that much to reach them in their location in the vest then you will probably be near death anyways. I can only imagine them rusting if you left them in salt water.

Yes they are although after 2 years of usage some of the paint of some of the weights, the ones at the bottom, has worn a bit.

The weights have a black finish, but I'm not sure if it would prevent rusting. That's a good question.

I'm not sure why that are coated but they haven't rusted or scratched anything. They are child safe and won't pinch fingers or scratch them.

Good question. I am not sure. I am thinking that I can wash them and put them out to dry on a supper sunny day. The weights don't actually come out.

We have them in a shed in humid NC and they haven't rusted. Had about 8 months.

Sweating has not interfered with my set, but I wouldn't call them "waterproof".

I have only had mine for a limited period of time , but I would imagine it would be rust free being it is powder coated.

How are you doing, Rlizabeth? I bought this item from Amazon.com a couple of years ago. While it is well made, and I like this item, I don't believe that it is waterproof. For one thing, the weights are in individual, unsealed pouches whereby water can easily enter. Therefore, there is no way to keep them dry and potentially rust-free. That being said, I would not recommend them for aqua excercises in the pool. But, if you're looking for a neat, cool weight training aide, these would definitely fit the bill. Good luck and please have a good day! Rafiah.

In normal use in a home, they do not rust. Like any steel, stainless included, they will rust if exposed to corrosive chemicals over a long period of time

Yes, in fact I used them outdoors over a year ago and there is no indication of rust.

I never read the box, but I've been using them for a couple of years. I've not experience rust, if that's what you're worried about. I gave a set to my friend...no complaints there either.

In my opinion, No..i think the ones in the gym are harder to take off than these...they hold the weights in place with no movement...Really good buy..

I've had mine for several years and they show no signs of rust. Seem to be made of quality material.

I use vinyl weights and it seems to work just fine...the threaded locks work as good as they do with steel weights. I have been using them for over a year and do not see any unusual wear on the inside of the vinyl weights either. Hope that helps.

I have had my two racks for a little over 3 months. As of the date of this response no rust has appeared.

NO evidence of rust yet. We moved in last Oct and put them out at that time. thks

I have them on a wardrobe rolling rack which is in a storage unit much like a shed; can be damp, hot, and cold. They have not rusted at all and have been in there for several years.
