I wear it for my walking workouts. There are heavier alternatives out there, but this is plenty of challenge for extended workouts. The vest is very comfortable. The material used really helps with the weight being evenly distributed across the vest. Very well made and seems like it’s high-end materials. I am not worried about it ripping in the least. It is comfortable and fits like a proper weight vest should fit. Read more
I've been very happy with this purchase. I wanted to add some extra workout to walking my dog in the morning. I was looking for something that didn't look like a bulletproof vest and also wasn't going to cross weirdly on my chest and accentuate my love handles a ton. I do have a lot of neck problems and this vest has not caused any issues, it's been very comfortable. I can see how it wouldn't work as well if you have a smaller build but it works great for broader shoulders. I probably wouldn't recommend it for running because it's not form fitted so it would bounce quite a bit. Weight wise I haven't even added in all the weights yet. But the quality seems pretty good. I would buy it again. Read more
Great weight vest for the money. It feels well made, the weight is evenly distributed, and the shoulder pads make it comfortable enough. The front zipper and the fact that both sides are adjustable is essential since I'm a smaller guy, 5'6" 140lb. That being said, I can definitely relate to some of the reviews questioning how it would fit anyone smaller than me. The removable weight pouches are great, I'm starting with 10lbs and working my way up. I kinda regret not getting a heavier vest, only because I know I'll need it eventually, but this suits my needs for the immediate future. It stays put for the most part while I'm doing my calisthenics, however I can't comment on how well it would stay in place jogging or running. It should be fine for walking. The included phone/wallet holder is convenient and it can be attached to the vest or your arm. All in all I give it 4.5 stars. Would recommend Read more
I exercise 30 minutes or more every day. This weighted vest is a great addition to my exercise routine. I started out with 4 weights just to get used to the extra weight. I do lift hand weights and was up to 5 pounds but I like the vest much more. I still lift the hand weights along with the vest, but only for about 10 minutes of my exercise routine. This vest is very comfortable. I love that it is good for my posture also. I walk about 2 or sometimes 3 miles and try to get 10,000 steps in a day. Being new at wearing the weighted vest, I do not go the full 30 minutes with it yet. I am still getting used to it. After I am feeling more advanced using it,mi will keep adding more weights. You cannot go wrong with this vest. The quality is great. The zipper works very well and it is adjustable. It is easy to add to your exercise routine. Read more
Amazing product - I’ve worn it a few times now with about half of the packs in it - it makes my 30 min workout feel like an hour, in a good way. Easy to use and if you don’t have all the packs in, I was able to fit my iPhone 12 and keys in the pocket so no need for Extra bags It does kind of look like a bullet prof best but with the rise in people using weighted vest I’m hoping it doesn’t look weird. Great customer services as well Read more
I love that the vest allows you to add weight. I am approx 160 lbs and wanted to start lower weight and work my way up. But the vest is loose, so it sways side to side, up down, when doing things like planks and pushups. As a 60 year old woman, I already have body parts that dangle and sway side to side or up and down, so I didn't want to add more swaying parts. I sent it back and got a low profile vest with 16 pounds in it and LOVE it Read more
For the price this is a good vest for walking. It comes up short for more intense activities. I couldn't run or jump. I use the vest to walk with purpose (ratchet up speed and incline on a treadmill). I needed a long sleeve shirt to keep from getting chafe burns on my arms, no thanks. I'm not a small, a 145# 5'9" female. I have the vest cinched as tight as the straps will go around my waist and it just fits snuggly but not enough to hold it in place for more rigorous activity. And the straps loosen during the workout. So I modified it and it's working better. I added darts to the front chest to reduce the gap that was rubbing my arms. A few inches above the belt strap I added square d-rings. To the from sections I added straps that go through the rings and back across. Velcro on the front secured the straps creating auxh better fit. I can run and jump now. Short sleeve shirt still needed but that was expected. It's not a bad vest it just needs some work. It's like the engineers got lazy and stopped before they finished. And it's probably a little big for smaller women. I've been wearing it once a week since I figured out how to modify it. It's still good, not great. It lacks the snug fit to really run and jump. I do that, but carefully. It's more of a light job than a run. Even then the weights really bounces on my chest . And I tried to up the weight by using metal bars from my husband's vest. It fell wore a hole within the first 45 minutes and the bat fell out. My fault for using a different weight. But be advised if you get creative like me. Read more
