Zikopomi Weighted Vest Woman Man 6lb 8lb 12lb 16lb 20lb 25lb 30lb Weight Vest with Reflective Stripes for

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

Feels comfortable. Has a pocket in the backside which is a bit odd of placement but nice to have regardless. Easy to adjust and put on. For new users, use for about 15-20 minutes for the first few uses as to not strain yourself. Makes walks or runs feel a lot better and rewarding. Also not had any issues with odor which is surprising, giving the material type. Read more

Mostly it's good. The "convenient pocket" is not "convenient" at all because it's on our back. I can put my phone in it before putting the vest on, but, I do walking. If someone wanted to run like that, they would need the pocket to have some way to lock closed so the phone doesn't pop out. The side connector going along the waist isn't a soft smooth material. In fact, it's kind of sharp and abrasive. So, when I swing my arms back and forth while walking I have to hold my arms out enough they don't rub against it because it hurts. Mine kind of turns outward on the left side for some reason so the edge of it reaches out and it's kind of sharp feeling. That material should be changed to something with a smooth outer layer. The fit allows for someone with a very large torso. But, makes it difficult (or impossible) to reduce the fit down tight for someone smaller. I'm over 6 feet tall and I can't tighten it enough due to the bad design of the connectors. They should be on the front of the vertical weighted part so they can be pulled together so they're right next to each other. I know someone who bought the 6lbs vest and its fit was very small. It couldn't expand large enough to fit him. So, it seems the different vests (by weight) are also different sized vests which fit different sized torsos. How are these cleaned so they don't get smelly? I don't know. If I wash them in the sink will the iron sand rust? I don't know. I do know that many hours of heavy sweating have made mine smelly, that's for sure. It has held up during 150+ hours of use, so far. Read more

Love this vest so far. I bought the 12 lb vest and was worried it would be too heavy but its fine. It is really easy to wear and the value is crazy good. If you are just starting out I think this vest is perfect. I have seen others that are way more expensive but it is not necessary. My primary care recommended one that was over $200 but honestly, this vest does the job. If your goal is to get moving and start carrying weight, this version is perfect. For reference, I am 5'4 and 115 lbs and 54 years old. I have been watching many menopause experts and this seems to be perfect for what women our age should be doing. I wear it for my walks and after 2 laps around the neighborhood I could feel it and my heart rate was definitely up. Highly recommend. Will probably add a walking pad to the house in the new year.
