Title: Good Weighted Vest for Everyday Use
Review: i’ve been using this 12 pound weighted vest for a couple of months now, and overall I’m very happy with it. At first, it felt heavy and a little tricky to walk with on my walk pad, but I realized there’s a certain way to adjust it properly on your shoulders. Once I got the fit right, it became comfortable and easier to wear.It’s excellent for walking and even while doing task around the house. I haven’t tried it with strength training yet, but I can already tell it adds a good amount of resistance. The vest is adjustable, fits well, and I’ve noticed no bad smells. It does get sweaty, but that hasn’t been a problem, and it hasn’t stained my clothes.The only minor issue is that it can be a little tricky to adjust at times, but other than that, it’s a very solid vest that works well for me. I’m giving it five stars because it meets my needs and has only a small learning curve.

Title: Excellent product at a great price
Review: I love this. It has upped my workout game significantly. It’s comfortable, adjustable, and helps me keep good posture. The weight distribution is even and it’s easy to get on and off. I’m very happy with this purchase.

Title: Worth it
Review: I love wearing this on runs or just going out for a hike. Long or short it’s very comfortable and not as bulky as I expected. The weight distribution is pretty good I don’t feel uneven at all and it’s very versatile (I mean I got black and that goes with just about anything) I do really love the little ring loops on the front so I can clip my keys and pepper spray right to me within reach. The pocket is also another thing I love carries some other goodies :) overall I recommend but it does hold some smell after a few uses, so it’ll definitely need a wash eventually, but I suppose that’s to be expected 😂

Title: 12 lb Fits Women Well – Sturdy
Review: I have been using this vest for a year now, and it has held up well. It is showing some cosmetic wear, but functionally is holding together fine. The magnetic stripes look the worst. This review is for the 12 pound vest. This one is sized well for women, but I can’t comment on the other weights.Materials seem sturdy , and construction has held up with regular use. I will say that it stank to high heaven for the first three months. I had to hang it up in the garage for several months to let it air out. It smelled like it was filled with ground up rubber tires. Over the summer, if I left it in the car, my entire car would stink like used tires. Thankfully, the smell did eventually wear off, and the vest is holding up well. I haven’t had any issues with it just be prepared to be a little patient and let it air out. I purchased another one and it did not have the problem, so you may get lucky and not get the smell at all.I am 5’4, 122 lbs, 34DD and it fits fine. Plenty of adjustability in the front strap for larger people. I have it snugged up fairly well. I use weight vests 5-6 days a week, so they do get put to the test 😎Bought Dec 2024 – Photos are after about 8 months of use (had to air it out for a few months)

Title: Nice addition to home gym
Review: My personal trainer suggested I add this to my workout routine. I got the 12 pound vest after doing a bunch of research on them. I read about others riding up during workouts or digging into the chest/armpit area due to the design. This one was said to not do any of that.On my treadmill, or my walks, and during my warmup & cooldown, it added a nice amount of weight without being too heavy. I’m 58 years old with a 34DD chest and find this to be comfortable and doesn’t smash me.The quality is really nice and appears that it’ll hold up for a long time.

Title: Works well so far
Review: Had them for while and yeah. It helps to work out better and more effect. It’s good for you when your doing push up. Making 10 to 20 push up no longer be easy. The 30 weight vest. Is the best I can handle. It fits well and easy to change the tightness. If there is a discount, you should give it a try. If you plan to use it. Use it near your house or in doors. It will hurt after while. Take off the vest. Take plenty of rest in between work outs. Before uses. Make sure your carrying water. Other wise it is a very good weighted vest I’ve bought so far.

Title: Overall great purchase!
Review: Got the 20 pound vest. Probably should have started lower but I recently lost 20-25 pounds so thought I’d add it back for walking/hiking. I am 5’2 and 145 (now). The vest does have a fairly strong chemical odor but that seems to be going away after about a week. 20 pounds is a lot heavier than I anticipated and my joints immediately felt the weight suddenly being added back on!. The vest is pretty comfortable and the weight distribution is good. I use this on my 1-2 mile dog walks and for that it is very comfortable. I have tried it on a longer (6 mile) walk with a few hills and I do experience some shoulder/upper back discomfort, which I hope will go away once my body adjusts. I couldn’t imagine running in it but I am sure some brave souls do so!

Title: 16 pound excellent for poster and added weight walking around
Review: Fits like a glove, comfortable, hands free no movement limitations. I like the 16 pound for benefits it offers but I bend and stoop a lot so would have gotten a 14 pound if available 16 is just a few pounds heavier than I wish but it’s an excellent product, so far well made too. The beads inside don’t shift at all. For reference I’m 5’2″ 120 pounds 61 years and not in shape by any stretch but I walk daily and move around a lot.

Review: I wanted a weighted vest to help me keep calm and focus. The market for adult vests is quite niche. I ordered the 4lb vest because I wanted to keep the impact on my shoulders less. It feels like wearing a backpack with a few books in it.I am a smaller person so the front clip was a good fit, but for larger chest sizes the vest strap my not fit. The extra phone strap thing is cool. The zippers clink together and make noise, so I covered on in tape.Would not recommend using while jumping.

Review: I started running and working out with this forgot I’d have it on until I felt the extra burn. Only issue I have is when you use it next to skin you get a bunch of black residue on your body. also could be a bit heavier but you get what you pay for.

Review: Got this for my partner as other ones irritate his shoulders when using, especially once getting up to the higher weights. This one is super comfortable and easy to use for jogging or walking or working out, etc..
