 Inexpensive way to monitor your body fat. August 3, 2010
John Locke (California)

I am no trainer or expert, but have found these to be a nice way to track progress (or lack thereof)in trying to get in shape. Based upon my own research these calipers are some of the most accurate--especially for the price. Other calipers in the top tier cost $300 bucks--no thanks. I found the booklet helps in order to be consistent with your measuring areas by providing pictures and an easy chart to convert mm of fat to a total fat %.
 My wifes dietician says it's not good July 19, 2010
Stephen G. Bernard (New Hampshire)
Honestly, I thought this was a good unit, it seemed to do the job. But according to the
Dietician my wife saw, it's not good for these reasons.
The calipers do not fully close, the jaws are misaligned and the spring is too strong
so it isn't accurate and gives false readings.
According to this caliper my wife has 7% bodyfat!
Now if I as an unexperienced caliper user got these readings I'd think ok, so I'm
doing it wrong. But when a dietician that does this sort of thing all day long uses
them and it reads 7% you know it's off.
My wife measures 13% bodyfat using the dieticians calipers.
That's a 45% difference. So I'm returning it and buying the one her dietician uses.
I'm hoping Amazon sells it, her dietician does not sell calipers.
Good Basic Calipers May 26, 2010
P. Malone (Boise, ID USA)
Great basic skin fold calipers for the price. This is all that just about anyone interested in tracking their body composition will ever need. Much more reliable than electrical impedance gizmos, especially for anyone with some athleticism.

I ordered these for a relative in mexico. Where they can cost up to 50 bucks. I do not know the quality of the others.. But its good enough.
 Slim Guide Review February 23, 2010
Lori S (Wellsville, NY, US)
Product was what I expected. Processing and shipment were fast and met my expectations. It is easy to use although for the best reading you have to be willing to let another person take measurements at various body points in order to be accurate and clearly read the needle.
