Adjustable Weighted Vest Men 2-35 lbs/2-45 lbs, Rucking Vests for Walking with Zipper/16pcs Silicone Weights, Strength Training Workout Vest for Running Walking GYM Home, Removable Reflective Strips

So I researched weight vests a TON and had it down to the TRX vest and this one. I took a chance on this vest when it first came out, and I'm super happy that I did!!! I was looking for a vest that was comfortable and had adjustable weights, and I really think this vest is the best out there for those two elements - it is definitely worth the extra cash over the cheaper vests.I primarily use the vest for dog walking - we got a Doodle during Covid, and the 45 minute daily walk I take with him replaced my daily workout :( so I was trying to burn some more calories on the walk. This vest allows me to do that perfectly! The weight adjustability was awesome - I started with 20 lbs and worked my way up to 33 over a few weeks. I also will wear this vest when doing stuff around the house - mowing the lawn, cleaning the house on Saturday morning, etc... I love how it allows me to sneak in a light workout when I'm super busy.One of the best features of the vest is the silicone weights - pretty much all other weight vests either use iron or sand. These silicone weights are super thin and flexible, which allows me to layer the vest comfortably under my jacket. After a few minutes, I actually forget that I'm wearing it. Also, when my jacket is zipped, you can't even tell I'm wearing it, which I love!I also like that when I don't wear it with a jacket, it doesn't look tactical - a lot of the other weight vests make the wearers look like they're law enforcement or military, and this one just looks...pretty normal. I also like the fact that the weights are distributed across the entire torso, rather than bunching up around the neck/shoulder area, like so many others.I'm 6'2 / 185, and the vest fits me perfectly. I've also used the vest for light jogging and for HIIT training sessions. Again, it's really comfy (for a weight vest), and I've been super happy at how it's worked for all those things.My only recommendations would to maybe make the shoulder straps more robust - I haven't had any issues with mine over the past three months, but I'm interested to see how they'll hold up over time. The velcro flaps that hold each weight in each pouch also seem a bit thin, but again, I haven't actually had any issues with them either, but if they put out a 2.0 version, I would recommend making those two changes. Everything else is pretty much perfect!If you're a hard-core athlete, and have the extra cash, I'd also take a look at the TRX vest, but if you're someone who just wants to occasionally use a vest to help stay in shape, and prioritize comfort, I think this vest is a huge step up from the sand/iron vests, and is definitely worth the extra investment!

This vest at 35 pounds is very heavy. Yes you can remove weight but who wants to do all that. Try to buy the weight vest that is suitable for your level. If you can’t hang with heavy weight, don’t buy the 35 pound. Great craftsmanship; solid vest. I highly recommend. It doesn’t smell funny like some reviewers have claimed; hot to work right out of the box. I slipped it over a workout shirt and walked all over town. Been on the incline treadmill a few times now.It definitely makes you sweat! It makes your legs work hard. Makes your core work hard …my ankles kinda hurt (sometimes it’s one of my knees!) afterwards but what can you do? Keep GRINDING! Your only limitation is you and what you’re willing to go thru).

Men, Buy this vest. Period. Because this vest is form fitting and can be snugged to your body, it is much more comfortable than a sand weighted vest. If you buy the sand weighted vest instead of this, you will be uncomfortable, out of balance, off center. The sand will shift. Your back will hurt. I know, I tried it and had to send it back. This vest would definitely tend to smash a woman's bust, though. A slighter built lady might be OK with this.

This vest is amazing. Great quality and what looks like reliable craftsmanship. However, I'm a little too plump to pull this one off. Unfortunately, for someone as out of shape as me, this isn't going to work. Fingers crossed, I will get to a point where it will and I will happily place another order. I'm just sorry for wasting their time and money shipping it to me. 🙁

I don't typically leave reviews, but this is by far one of the best quality items in its category. Other weighted vests that uses iron sand or something similar is always bulky and uncomfortable, and the weight shifts and gets unbalanced. This vest is super comfortable and conforms to the body really well, and it doesn't itch. It's a bit pricey but if you plan on using it long term it's definitely worth the money. Very easy put on and take off and easy to adjust. I would be curious to see if the 45-lb version is just as comfortable and form-fitting.

Had a 30 lb vest, but it broke and I was looking for more weight. Got the 45 lb version of this. It’s perfect. Well built. Easily adjustable. I wear mine on the stairclimber at the gym and to take the dogs on long walks, and it’s been perfect. So much better than my last sand-weighted vest.
