I am 5'2 and 125 lbs. I was afraid this vest would be too big and or too long to wear comfortably, but I am so pleasantly surprised. I first just wore the vest with all 20 lbs around the house doing chores, to see if my back or shoulders would hurt. I wore it for about 4 hours, and did have to adjust the shoulder straps, to come up higher but other than that, I found it very comfortable. I even jogged in place to see if the vest would bounce against my body, but it did not. The wide hip straps held it snug against the body and adjusting the shoulder straps to sit higher, it was hardly noticeable that I was wearing anything. I even thought 20 lbs would be too much to start with, but it's not, at least not for walking/ hiking. I definitely would recommend. Read more
Great for HIIT and cardio workouts, as well as shadowboxing and bag work. It’s heavy enough to make a difference (with the ability to lighten the load as you see fit). I’m happy with the 20lbs as I am not a professional athlete looking to blast through a 300lb lineman coming at me off the snap Adjustable straps help you find a good fit. I’ve used it probably over 50 times with no noticeable wear. I do suggest airing it out and letting it dry when done working out. Read more
I got this vest for my son and he’s been using it a lot. He told me that he needed that extra weight for his workout. It’s thick and great material. He says it’s comfortable to wear and fits right. I guess it’s well designed to carry the weight evenly. Overall he’s happy every time he wears it to work out. Read more
It is a bit sloppy. It also looks like body armor. I have to tighten it a lot to wear it. I won’t wear it outside. I don’t want anyone thinking I am wearing body armor. Read more
This best is perfect for walking and getting stronger. The ability to add or decrease weights is perfect. Comfortable to wear and easy to put on. Read more

I had to wear a 14 pound vest for my JST (police department test). Found this one and worked out with it. Helped me out a lot with putting extra weight on the body. Would def recommend if anyone has a specific psychical test to prep for or just to add weight to your normal workout routine! Read more
