Great feel and and very comfortable! The weight capacity is great because i'm you can buy and insert larger plates if you choose. Getting the plates in and out is very easy. It's a system of flaps and velcro that is pretty easy to manage. The adjustments on the shoulders is easy as well. Great value for your money and makes a great addition to your fitness regime. It's a great fit and is durable for all of those summer and winter rucks! Read more
For the price, I am absolutely thrilled with this. Half the price of the competitors and probably close to the same build quality. I am 6’5” 360lbs and it fits way better than I expected. I even have room to spare in the stomach strap. For weight, I find the 40lbs is a nice added bit of resistance and difficulty to my workouts. I’m even going to wear it while doing chores sometimes. It also helps with my mindset. I spent 6 years in the Marine Corps and this reminds me to not be a little B. Reminds me to push myself and go full beast mode. Kind of like putting a vest on a working dog. It even came with all three patches which is cool, even though I won’t use them all. Only thing I would change is being able to load the plates from the top instead of the bottom, but they seem to be snug and secure. AM STAFF - Please don’t change your pricing!!!! This is exactly where it should be! Read more
This weighted vest is great addition and adds intensity to my walks around my neighborhood. The vest itself is very comfortable and durable. Plus I love the fact that looks and feels like tactical body armor. During my walk, I didn’t feel the straps hurt my shoulders at all. The best hugs my body very well, and it doesn’t move around unnecessarily. I bought the 20 pound version, but I am a bigger guy. If you are a smaller person, use a lighter weight. If you’re looking for a vest for rucking, working out, or running, this is the vest to get! Read more
excellent value and great value and exceptional quality of manufacturing. It serves its purpose Very easy to mange . Wipes clean with a damp cloth. Great fit over or under clothes. Most of the times people aren’t aware i’m even wearing a weighted vest . The plates are adjustable in weight . I have no issues getting up or down with the vest in daily excercise . I can move freely from walking to running to climbing a hill without a adjustment. I’m happy i purchased this product i’ve purchased many but none as durable as this one . Read more
Avoid purchasing this vest bc of poor stitching and bad customer service experience! I purchased this in April and have used this vest a few times each week to help enhance my workouts. This vest comfortably shaped to my body. Originally I posted the above positive review. I’m changing that view based upon the poor stitching and bad customer service experience. I estimate that I used this vest 35-40 workouts. My uses were ONLY in walking while wearing the vest with the (2) 13 lb plates. I was not running, jumping or twisting in this vest. Nothing else was attached to the vest except for a Velcro patch. As you’ll see in the pic, the shoulder strap stitches came undone. It was poorly sewn. I reached out to Amazon and they provided me the companies email and phone number. I reached out several times on both email and vm. After several attempts over several days I got an email stating: “ the warranty period for this vest is 30 days from the date of purchase, and as it has now passed, we are unable to offer a replacement.“ I would highly recommend others purchase a higher quality vest from a more reputable company that provides an honest warranty service. Buyers beware of this company! Read more
Ordered for my husband. He was very happy, and it is adjustable as well. He’s happy and easy to use. A plus especially because it came with plates already. Read more
This weighted vest is packed with features and is remarkably comfortable for the price! A similar item from Rouge would be double the price and the plates are not curved like they are with this vest. I would consider buying other items from Amstaff based on how much I love the vest. Read more
I'm going to preface this review with the fact that I am petite. I am likely a lot smaller than the average user of the vest. I also wear a custom vest daily for work, so I'm sure that's affecting my opinion. The vest is adjustable, to a degree. I can't make it tight enough to stay in place on my body while I do higher impact activities. Also likely due to my size, the vest affects my range of motion. While doing static exercises, the vest is fine! But if I jump or jog, I have to physically hold the vest in place. I understand they can't make a smaller vest option and still accommodate weight plates. A one size fits all weighted vest just might not be best for smaller people. The vest does seem to be quite durable and functional. Overall, I would still recommend it to average size humans. Read more
