I've been wearing this daily for nearly 2 weeks, anywhere from a few hours during exercise, to half a day while doing regular chores and activities. It sounds corny, but it feels like a hug on my back. Like other reviews I have read about this brand, it can be worn under clothing (as long as it's not skin tight) comfortably and unnoticed by others. I wear mine over a t-shirt and put a flannel shirt over it when I run errands. It makes me mindful of my posture because the weight pulls a little differently if I slouch. The weight also feels evenly distributed. I have the 12# version, but I may eventually graduate to the 20# one. I have to exert a little more effort when walking with it on, which is good, and it gave me extra spring on the trampoline with my grandson. It's slightly uncomfortable when I am driving, but I think that's because of my driving posture and seat padding. I would not recommend this for larger people. My husband is an average sized guy with some muscles and there is no way this would fit him. Overall, I am happy with this purchase and I feel like it is doing some good for me, some extra oomph while doing ordinary things. Read more
I wanted to try and get more out of my walks and thought I would give this a try. I absolutely love it and made a big difference. I burn more calories and feel stronger. My posture is definitely better. I do get asked what this is on my walks or people ask what are some the benefits and I now have seen others wearing them on our walking trail. I have tried different brands and lighter ones but they were bouncy. This one is 12lbs and I think it’s a perfect weight and not bouncy at all. Fits perfectly. It also has a holder in the back that I put my phone and keys when walking and never have to worry about them. Read more
I got this 12-pound weighted vest and it’s been a total game-changer for my runs. I’m someone who loves a challenge and is working on building both muscle and endurance. Adding the extra weight pushes me to go harder, helps build stamina, and makes every run feel more powerful. If you’re trying to level up your workouts, this vest is it! Read more

This is my new favorite piece of workout equipment! I love the adjustable strap. For reference I am a 36DD and it fits perfectly. I'm wearing it on my walks eventually hoping to run while wearing it. It's perfect for my needs. Read more
I was very skeptical about buying a weighted vest, but after trying it, I absolutely love it. It is only 12 pounds but when wearing it for a bit, I can tell it is making a difference in my workout. I love running/walking with it on. It helps burns more calories and I feel like it is very effective. There are lots of benefits with wearing them and I am hear to tell you, it works!! Try for yourself!! Read more
The vest stays in place when walking and is comfortable. I did not try it running but I don't run well without a vest so I figured adding the vest would not make it better. When wearing the vest, the weighted material is under each arm and produces a bulge. Your arms rub and for some people, this is not going to be comfortable and, as you sweat chafing can become an issue. The strap that goes across the chest is not reinforced enough at the end and immediately came out of the clasp. It is easy enough to put it back in but one more fold on the end before it was sewn would have eliminated this issue. Overall, this is a good vest but you can probably find one that does not put the weight in the underarm area, which will be more comfortable for long, sweaty workouts. Read more
