I’ve been using the 16 lb Zikopomi weighted vest for walks, short runs, and home workouts, and it’s been a great addition to my routine. The weight is evenly distributed, so it doesn’t bounce around or dig into my shoulders, and the adjustable straps make it easy to get a snug, comfortable fit. The material feels sturdy and well-made for the price, and the reflective strips are a nice touch for early morning or evening workouts. I also appreciate that it’s low-profile enough to wear during bodyweight exercises without restricting movement. There was a slight “new product” smell when I first opened it, but it went away after letting it air out for a day. Overall, for the price point, this vest delivers solid quality and does exactly what it’s supposed to do. Highly recommend if you want to level up your cardio or strength training without going overboard on weight. Read more

Love this vest way more than I expected. I’ve been using the 12 lb reflective weighted vest for a week now and it's been awesome. The fit is super comfortable. It feels snug and secure without bouncing around or digging into my shoulders. The weight is evenly distributed, so it doesn’t strain my back like I was worried it might. I can wear it for a full workout and not feel miserable halfway through. The reflective strips are a big plus. I do early morning and evening walks, and cars can definitely see me better. Makes me feel a lot safer compared to my regular dark workout clothes. My walks feel more challenging, my heart rate is higher, and even basic exercises like squats and lunges feel more effective. Definitely a good buy if you want to level up your workout. Read more

Overall this is a good product, and I am keeping it for walks. It does not fit as well as I was hoping it would. I have it adjusted to the smallest settings and it is still pretty loose. I am a 5'5, 110 lb woman for reference. It will be comfortable enough for walking but definitely not running or more intense exercise. Read more

This weighted vest has completely transformed my fitness routine! The adjustable straps make it incredibly comfortable and secure, fitting my body perfectly without any shifting during intense workouts. I love the multiple weight options - being able to progress from 8lbs to 20lbs has been perfect for gradually building strength. The reflective stripes are a fantastic safety feature for my early morning runs, and the overall quality is outstanding for the price. Whether I'm hiking, running, or doing bodyweight exercises, this vest adds the perfect challenge to help me reach my fitness goals! Read more

I typically walk at least 3.5 miles a day at lunch, but if time allows I go for 5. I used this weighted vest the first time yesterday and it definitely made my walk more challenging. I highly recommend if you’re looking to challenge yourself. I specifically wanted it to grow leg muscle but the longer I walked I realized it was requiring that I engage core muscles and it was working my back muscles by just holding my back straight to support the weight. It fits comfortably. No chafing, which I was worried about. Did have a little bit of a chemical smell when I first unpacked it but it went away quickly. Super easy to put on and has reflective stripes if you want to wear it at night. The weight options available are suitable for all fitness levels. I ordered black but there’s plenty of color options too. Read more

I'm a 5'4" woman and purchased the black, 12lb vest. It fits perfectly with the straps fully tightened. This is so well constructed with the weight evenly distributed throughout the vest and nicely padded shoulders, and front and back sides of the vest aren't too close to rub against the skin during the natural swing of the arms. It's also designed to lay from shoulder to mid back with nice quality elastic areas to hug the sides when tightened. It also seems like the back mesh pocket, which I'm sure is for a cell phone, could be used for small added weight pouches as a next step before getting a truly heavier vest. I have only used this for 2 days in my exercise routine and then also working around the house. Right now I have a walking pad workout and then I use a mini trampoline for "trampoline sprints sets". I started using the vest immediately when I received it and I can really tell this vest will be such a positive addition to my everyday life and in helping my workout effectiveness. I am also impressed that it is such a good value for the money, looks like it will last a long time even with everyday use. Read more
