miR Air Flow Weighted Vest with Zipper Option 20lbs - 60lbs Solid Iron Weights Machine Washable Workout Vest

I love this vest. it's just about perfect. Helps increase walk intensity / cardio output during walks, is a muchh nicer/more convenient way to train for hiking, slows me down naturally on walks so easier to match my partner's pace, provides a much more convienient / comfortable way to weight bodyweight exercises like pull-ups/dips/push-ups/sit-ups, washable vest material is a plus, ability to load the vest to the weight I want it is convenient .. all great. Many vests are non-adjustable in weight, and many fancier vests have a single large weight plate with only one weight option unless you buy additional plates to swap with - this vest allows you to have whatever weight increment you want as you add/remove little bars. It does require a moderate amount of strength to get the vest over your head comfortably at 60lbs, but is quite comfortable for me - basically I hook my hands under the shoulder straps and just clean it vertically up and past my head, then let it down over my head. Only downside is the velcro straps that help bind it around the body - pulling and adjusting one of them at a slightly askew angle, I tore out a fair amount of stitching on it. This shouldn't have happened, and I wish they'd reinforced the stitching better. But it still works fine and is otherwise very well made. The little iron weights are also so much better than sand. Also, I love that it doesn't interfere with my abdominal/lower-back/core area the way almost all other vests do, I can very easily do all of my exercises, and my walking/hiking technique is much more natural this way.

I love this weighted vest. I bought it with 40lbs of weights which is really like 37ish lbs because they count the actual vest as the remaining 2-3lbs. I filled it all the way up on day one since you have the option to add as much/little weight as you’d like in the 2.5lbs increments. I first wore the vest for 1 hr around the house and felt a slight pain when I took it off, even the second time. It is a very minor annoyance to put the vest on at 40lbs and would likely be less of a headache doing so with at least some of the weights out of the vest while putting on FYI, but I’m too lazy to load it up and unload it after every use. It does have outer handles on the shoulder area to carry the vest by and pull it up closer to your head when you want to wear it, nice touch! It is overall padded well, even on the shoulders. I only felt pain at first because it’s an additional 40 lbs that wasn’t weighing me down before. I have only used the vest like 6 times and can wear it down the trail for a couple hrs at a time now. I tried to run in it before but even when I had it wrapped around me relatively tight, it still moved around a little. Don’t know about running in it so much, good for hikes though. The weights can be expensive when not buying them with the vest, I now want to add the remaining 20lbs to max it out. This was well worth the price in my honest opinion. I’ll include photos with the color detail too, it’s like a black denim material.. very high quality! 9 weight slots on the front and 10 slots on the back, plus a rear reflective strip on the back. Hold 57 lbs of added weight and the vest weighs approximately 3lbs itself... supposedly. Hope this answers all your questions Read more

I bought the 50 lbs vest with the zipper in front and have had it for about 6 months. I had bought a similar vest from another manufacturer that used sand in nylon bags and did not have a zipper on it. The previous vest had several disadvantages: over time the sand becomes soft and is difficult to put into the pouches on the vest, eventually the nylon rips and the sand leaks out, it is awkward and can lead to injury to put the vest on by lifting it up and putting your arms through the vest one at a time. Reasons why I am really impressed with this vest: * the weights are metal (no possibility of it breaking) * the zipper in the front allows you to put it on and take it off easily without injuring your shoulders * great customer service. I had an issue with the vest from a torn pouch for one of the weights and contacted the seller. The seller responded immediately and sent me a new vest. * can be used for virtually any exercises. I originally bought the vest because my gym was closed. I used it for squats, push-ups, pull-ups, bar dips, running. Now that my gym is open I keep it there and use it for many of the same exercises.

60-lb vest review: I did just use it for the first time walking my dog for 30-minutes and I can certainly feel it. This vest is constructed very well, great weight distribution and comfortable to wear. I've started off with 8 weights in the vest. It's worth noting the vest only comes with 19 weights and has 19 pockets because the vest itself is part of the 60 lbs. I'm not mad about that but some might be surprised. So, I'm rocking it at about 27 lbs right now. The shoulder straps are adjustable so that the wearer can lower the weighted vest on the torso. I took it to work to show a few folks and they were pleasantly surprised at the construction and layout of the vest. What I absolutely don't like about the vests are the straps. I understand the idea of the straps coming from around back to tighten up on the torso but they need to be a little bit longer. I bought this vest to aid in dropping some weight. I have a 42-44 chest. When I reach for the straps with my slightly t-rex arms, it's workout in itself but even then, very little strap room for reattaching once the straps are run through the metal loops. Because of how short the straps are, I couldn't adjust the shoulder straps to lower the vest a little if I wanted to. A Mojave style dual side release buckle would be perfect but that's just my opinion. Overall, I absolutely recommend this vest to anyone looking to up their workout game or simply aid in dropping some weight by walking around with a weighted vest. I also bought the 60-lbs vest because it was $5 more than the 50-lbs. Also, the size of the vest is the MAX it can hold. You can remove weights but you can't get it above what you buy so I didn't want to limit myself. Hope someone finds this helpful. Read more
