Fits comfortably with balance of weights front to back. I know I'm going to like wearing the vest better than ankle weights to get stronger. Have it on around the house and will do walk my usual 3 miles later today with it. Went with the fixed 8 lbs. I like that the company is woman-owned and the product is woman-designed. A nice bonus was finding a lavender sachet in the box to offset the neoprene new smell, which I didn't even notice. I'll put the sachet in a dresser drawer. :) Slight padding in the shoulder prevents any feel of strap discomfort. Read more
I love this 8lb weighted vest, the size is perfect, not too large and it sits nicely on your body. I love the X design, it does not rub under your arms like other vests. Smooth and comfortable neoprene fabric. The weight is evenly distributed throughout the vest. Both straps are adjustable, anyone in your family can use, it is easy to get on and off. There is no smell to this vest. I previously purchased another vest and the smell was terrible even after leaving outside for a week, I had to return. Adds intensity to your workout, I highly recommend this vest. Read more
This provides nicely distributed weight when walking. The vest helps to make a normal walk into a better calorie-burning event. You can wear it on top of most jackets or clothing but can also be worn under jackets. Read more
I purchased this weighted vest for use during jogging. There are several vests on the market but this one stood out due to its design and price. This is a reasonably priced vest. I also thought 8 pounds was enough weight for me, a woman who's never used a weighted vest, to start with. I like that that vest has closures on both sides which helps with a secure fit. The crossed front is ideal for a female body, as weights squishing one's chest is undesirable. The cellphone holder is a mesh panel near the right closure. It is fairly useless, unless you have a very tiny phone. You could, however, use it for something else, like a key or ID, if you need to carry that stuff around. I have used the vest for a couple of weeks, jogging for 45 minutes to an hour each use. I find it very comfortable. The straps allow for as snug a fit as you'd like. They can tend to loosen as you jog. I tried tying them which didn't work. I found that leaving them loose and then simply tugging on one while jogging instantly tightens it up. Not a big issue. I have had no issue with leaking sand and the vest appears sturdy enough. The only downside to this vest is that there's no option to increase the weight but at this price point that is reasonable. This vest has been a great addition to my cardio workouts. It has contributed positively to my fitness and I hope to use it for some time before upgrading to a heavier vest. Read more
And boy can you tell a woman designed this for another woman. Good build quality, fits so much nicer than others. Specifically designed for the female body. Assists in evenly distributing the weight across your body, the “X” design of this vests allows for joggers with larger chests to benefit as well, while others restrict the upper chest . Can utilize in Endurance cycling training while the vest stays securely attached to your body. The design of this vest allowed me to push past the wall I’d hit. I tried other vests and was frustrated. I’m 36 D so other vests left me fitting in the chest but huge in the waist. This vest is expensive but I can attest “ya get what you pay for “. Love it!
