Adjustable Weighted Vest

For a little frame, this fits. Even on the tightest setting, the “backpack” I had originally ordered was too big and kept flopping around when I was jogging, so I returned it. It was uncomfortable on my neck and shoulders as well. The straps on this vest may be adjusted for waist and height, fitting both small and large frames. Although it has a lot of velcro, which might be unpleasant, it feels good on the shoulders. A spot for my phone would have been convenient, and the zipper doesn’t close all the way. This has worked well for me. The vest also prevents the women from giggling too much and from needing an additional sports bra.

It is comfortable to wear on long hikes. It gets pretty warm. Not sure how it’ll do in the summer but that may be part of game. You burn some calories with this thing. Highly recommended.

This thing is amazing for any type of workout. I typically use my vest for running and calisthenics workouts. Previous vests I had purchased had way to much movement when running. They used sandbag inserts for the weight and we’re just loose and bulky. This vest used metal blocks that are secured very well with the velcro straps. You can run and do calisthenics without the vest moving around, and it’s compact and doesn’t cover your whole front for better mobility. I love this vest!

Quality is amazing. You can strap it down and hang upside down without it shifting on your body. Probably overbuilt, but that is what makes it so great. I was worried that going for the 35/45 pound vest would get too wide such that my arms would rub when doing certain movements like pushups, gymnastics rings, etc. However it is contoured in to allow complete movement of your arms in every movement without rubbing on the outer chest portion of the vest, even for me and I am not the biggest guy. My biggest concern is that it is so well-built, it looks like a military bullet proof vest when I am walking or jogging in public.

I purchased both the 8LB Tactical and the 16LB Tactical. I probably could have just bought the larger and I could add and remove the plates as necessary but I wanted to be able to just throw one on my back on a whim of how I am feeling. These vests are quality items and I think they will last a long long time. A bit pricey I suppose but if you are looking to build some good fitness and strength than you will be way ahead with these vests… YMMV

Great product! Exactly what I was seeking in a weight vest to add calorie burn and muscle tone to hiking workouts. I was worried about fit on my frame so adding photos here for reference point. I’m 5’7 with 23 inch waist, and a shorter than average torso. I was worried it would be large but was able to double up the Velcro points of the belt to fit snug and the removable weights work to provide versatility to the vest.

I was hesitant on buying this thinking it was all hype but wow this vest is amazing. This is the type of vest professional athletes use because of its full range of motion. When snugged on tight you can even handstand with this. That says alot. It’s great for burning around 10 to 15 % more calories with any workout. I’m so glad I bought this. Trying to lose that quarantine weight gain lol. Anyways amazing product and I seen the bad review about this about how hard the instructions is I have to say this is not the case. It literally took me a minute to read and a minute to put on. Don’t be fooled with someone’s impatientness. Also great for people going to the military because it mimics the weight of your combat gear.

Bought this for rucking. Works better for me than the back pack style. Really nice shoulder paddding!

I love this weight vest! It is great quality and fits very well since it is adjustable. You can quickly remove/add weight as necessary to the front or back. I use it when doing pull-ups, squats, and lunges.

I went with the 45lbs and rock it everyday, this got me into the best shape of my life ??. It’s kinda like a big boys weighted blanked, Melos me out and makes me feel safe anywhere. My lady also enjoys to put it on during workouts. She says it makes her feel stable/grounded. You can remove all of the weights to ensure it’s not a bad 1st experience for anyone new.

Great fit high quality weighted vest ruck pack. Great value.

I use this vest for push-ups, planks & pull-ups. Before this vest I had another that spread the weight down toward my lower back. This created some discomfort especially when doing planks. This vest keeps the weight toward the upper back providing less strain on the lower back. I immediately felt a difference am I’m glad I switched! If you are planning to use this heat to do planks and pushups this is a must-have to protect your lower back.

This vest checks all the boxes. I was worried about a vest that would fit my petite frame and wouldn’t move during activity. I previously purchased one made especially for women and had to return it because it was so uncomfortable. My friend Nicoletta, has one and recommended it! This vest is so comfortable, it doesn’t move and it adjusts down to my size . It iron bars , not sand like others, are easily removed when going lighter, and the shoulders are padded perfectly. Comes in a variety of cute colors, but I stuck with basic! You will not be disappointed!

Easily adjustable and compact. Really good when I hit calisthenics

The product quality is very great, and I feel bad for the delivery person, as they had to go up one story to put it in front of my doorway I wish i could give them a tip for it.

It’s a quality vest; you can start with lower weight; I started with 17.5 lbs; will advance over time to the 35 lb capacity!

Great product, excellent built quality

Great quality and feels natural when on

Awesome for those who walk a lot and want to add some heavy weight for a full body workout. I purchased a 40 pound vest. I do short walks at a local park before I get home from work. My walks are about 2 to 3 miles in distance. I purchased a 40 lbs. vest. I did not think that 40 lbs. was a lot. It was. My long walks went down to short walks on the side walk until I got accustomed to the weight. It took me about a month to get back to walking a mile. Then up to a mile and a half. You will feel the weight of the vest in your legs and upper body when you first start. after a few weeks I could feel it across my entire body. As my first vest I should have purchased a 20lbs vest. Over time the 40 lbs got easier to wear and do longer walks. DO NOT RUN WITH A HEAVY VEST. One day I was feeling great and started to do a slow jog. That soon turned into a run. I landed to hard on my right foot and stopped running. I walked back to my car , took the vest off and went home. I knew I did something bad but took a hot shower and went to bed early. The next day my right knee was swollen and I had some pain walking. I had given my knee a good twist. It took a few months to heal. But I walk when I wear the vest now. I keep my vest in my car so I can take my weighted walks anytime. You can get in shape very fast with a weighted vest. Keep your walks short when you start. Do not run. Get a good pair of sneakers for your walk. start off at the local high school football field or running track. If the vest is to heavy, you can remove weight from the vest. just remember to remove any weight evenly from front to back. Start off slow and your walks short. remove weight if necessary. DO NOT RUN. If you feel good and your workout is done. Stop. Its easy to hurt yourself with a weighted vest. There is always tomorrow.

Liking the vest form factor quite a bit. Great quality and flexibility w/ 2.25lb weights. Would recommend.

Fantastic vest. It is securely fastened at the waist and completely adjustable at the shoulders if you choose to wear it lower on your body. I adore the thick velcro straps at the waist and the broad straps at the shoulders. Weight is dispersed uniformly, and pouches can have weight pods added or removed to alter resistance. Very well-made and robust. It is simpler to put on thanks to the zippered front; simply fasten the velcro waist afterwards. Very impressed by the speedy delivery.

This item reminds me of a vest I use to wear in the military. It is of great construction, fits well amd does the job it was constructed to do. It is comfortable, it is breathable and it’s great product for the price.

Nice vest well made has lot of options with alot of weight

Excellent product. Easy to adjust weights by 2.25 lb. increments. Easy to adjust for differently-sized people. Easy to put on and take off (carefully with more weight, of course). Appears durable after a few months of frequent use. Remains stable during use, no slack even when doing ground work, pushups, incline/decline. Obviously designed by ergonomically-minded development team.

This is a useful well made product although you pay a premium. It adds an additional dimension to bodyweight workout options. It is reasonably adjustable, fits well and does not limit the range of motion much if at all. It is stable while you are working out. The cast weights are not overly rough and are easily removed or added back.

I tried a few weighted vests before settling on this one. It’s miles ahead of the competition. The weight distribution (high around the ribcage, not chafing your back or belly), weight density (iron blocks, rather than sand bags) and incremental adjustment options (3 pounds/block) make a *huge* difference. And the velcro-buckle system actually holds fast during a workout, which was disappointingly difficult to find among other weighted vests. Opportunities for improvement: it would be nice if the straps were wider and a LITTLE bit elastic. Their narrowness kinda cuts into your ribcage when you really want to fasten down a heavier load. But honestly, I didn’t find any other vest to even be usable.What’s more, the other day my backpack was stolen, containing one of the weight blocks. I emailed the vendor and they immediately sent me THREE replacement blocks free of charge–not even shipping. Really just the kind of company you wish were more common.

Fantastic weight vestI read a lot of reviews and decided on this one because of the weight distribution and size of the weights – they are easily removed if needed abs the vest is very comfortableI wore it fir the first time and hiked /ran up to Griffith observatory from fern dell with all the weights and it was great ! Very comfortable and I didn’t feel off center – I highly recommend this vest – I ll be using it fir a long time to ome

Loving the design of the vest, very well constructed. Just missing one of the weights on the vest. I emailed the company and received extra weights and wipes. The service was outstanding and I would definitely order from this company again… Thanks again!

It’s a little thicker around the neck area which is understandable, easy to setup, if you have a large head like I do it will be tight going on. You will feel like Bane, but it’s a great vest. Weights aren’t 2lbs each, they are between 1.8 and 2.2, fyi.
