I’m really impressed with this weighted vest. I love the multi-camo design and the quality is really good. With the weights, it distributes evenly and not awkward while working out. The fit is perfect and easily adjustable. The value and functionality is reasonably priced, and lives up to its standard. Read more
As a U.S. Veteran and someone who has worn many plate carriers, this is actually a decent weighted vest that best resembles a comfortable plate carrier. The quality is great. The plates are sold separately. So be sure to look for them. This hugs the body really well. If worn properly, the weight is not fully on the shoulders, but the entire upper torso. I love the feel and it is adjustable for different body types. I wouldn’t recommend if you are heavily overweight. It may not fit right. It’s easy to use and the vest is great for all forms of workouts such as running, walking, pushups, pull-ups, and any other body weight exercise to increase performance. Read more

I am a 5'9, 135 pound woman. Because I'm quite skinny, I have to tighten the vest a good amount to fit securely around me. However, the main straps that go up front are soft velcro on both sides while the plate is the sticky side, so the straps will only secure to the vest itself, not each other. So, I have to wear the vest as tight as I can get it with the straps secured but it still is pretty loose around my waist. However, the shoulder straps are fairly adjustable and comfortable to wear, and I usually run two 20lb plates in mine without discomfort. The vest holds the plates super snug, and I can run and jump around and not worry about them falling out. Quality fabric, and lots of places to put patches on. Read more
This is the first weight vest I've ever purchased so I can't really compare it to others. I can, however, tell you that it is exactly what I need it to be. It fits well and is adjustable. The velcro is strong and the pockets hold the plates securely. The side straps also have zippered pockets for whatever you might want to use them for, which is pretty handy. I also like the velcro on the front to add patches. It's a cool way to just make it your own and represent. I've only used it about 4 times so far, mainly for HIIT, EMOM, and heavy bag workouts, but it stays in place and stays secure with minimal bouncing. I'm not sure how it would fair when running, though. I would have to drop to lighter plates before I tried that. Overall, I would 100% recommend it. Read more
I’ve used this for 3 rucks with two 9lb plates. The vest is easy to adjust to fit, distributes fhe weight very well, and is comfortable to wear. It is high quality and the plates are also very good quality. I expect to be able to use this for many years. Read more
This was my first weighted vest. As far as the price went, within that price range it seemed to be the best option. Held my plates with ease, not many intricate adjustments but the velcro straps worked great, didn’t move around to much when working out, shipment came fast. Material seemed to be durable enough but I didn’t keep long enough to really test that, but there was one major drawback for me that led to returning the vest and purchasing another one, and also spending a little more. After wearing the replacement I purchased of another brand, I noticed that the poly fit vest wasn’t near as comfortable. This is all subjective, but if I’m going to be wearing it as much as every work out, walk and ruck, I need some more comfortability. Yes, I could have toughed it out and I did so for a couple days, but I figured I’d tried something with a little more padding, and I returned the Polyfit vest. I will say, if this is your first vest, go for it, try it out. You’re probably going to experiment with many different vests and find the one that really suites you. Unfortunately, this one didn’t, but doesn’t make it a bad product. Read more
Great vest. Took me a while to dial in comfort level. Great design and can hold a lot of weight, very effective for walks, weight lifting, and preparing for backpacking in the winter months. Read more
