miRPRO Weighted Vest With Zipper Option 45lbs - 90lbs Solid Iron Weights

Did a bit of research for a weighted vest to replace using my pack for western hunting training. The vest is well made, durable. It is expensive, but when you are expecting something to hold 70+ pounds, it needs to have the ability to sustain the stress long-term; and this does. I would recommend the straps over the zipper style because I don't see any zipper technology being able to hold the demands required in the long-term.Definitely the way to go for anyone looking to add weight to their workouts or daily activities. I'll put this on for a treadmill run/walk, snowshoeing/hiking, playing with the kids in the yard, shoveling the driveway, etc. The weights are easy to add and remove. it fits tight to the body, no excess movement, so fitting it under a jacket is no problem. I bought the 75lbs capacity so I have the versatility to adjust the weight accordingly for any type of workout.

I shopped around for a while looking for the right weighted vest and this one definitely hits the mark. I'm 6' and 220 LBS with what I'd say is a thicker than average frame the vest fits excellent with room to spare if Ineeded. It tightens down great and fits snug against your body. I also like how you can disperse the weights on the front and back to even the load.One note on the seller, the vest did arrive with some slight damage which was clearly from shipping. I contacted miR they sent the replacement immediately, HIGHLY recommend them if they carry what you need.

The vest is very durable, the sipper is heavy duty, the weights are easy to place into the pockets, overall the vest is really great. It might take you a couple of uses before getting used to it. I also really like that it had a lot of pockets to hold more weight making it easy to add weight as you make progress.

Alright. I had no problem figuring out the velcro straps. But I am 5'6" female and 350# (200# less than previously, so I've been waiting until I could fit a vest to finally get one). The side straps barely fit my size, despite most my excessive weight is hips down. I'm ordering some black 3" velcro I can add to them. I can wear it and do, it just looks stupid and is more-uncomfortable than I think it would already be if I were leaner. To prevent it choking me, and to make the side straps be above and below my (large) breasts (or I can't breathe!), I have to make the shoulders max-length so it hangs lower, but my torso isn't as long as a man's so it seems ok standing, but if I sit, the shoulders are now 5" higher than my shoulders. I daresay this won't work for motion/flex on a lot of stuff, but it works for me doing simple house chores. I love that it's poncho-style adjustable, finally found one to fit! (almost) and that it holds up to 90# (I got 60, I started with zero, it'll be a miracle if I ever get to 60). The stitching seems pretty secure. I will wear a very oversized zip hoodie with it when I go outside with it, Autumn chill is coming so that will help. (I will look much larger but you know, at a certain size... it hardly matters!) I recommend the vest, I think it manages to arrange a lot of weight option, the weights seem to fit very snugly. I suspect the primary issue I may have if I wear it for more serious motion and higher weighted, is that velcro... is not always ideally snug in those conditions, each jolt tugs it a little more loose (this hasn't happened yet but I can tell is likely). I bet an easy slide tarp/tent clamp - they are tiny and black but really grip - could hold it together near the front rings and reduce that issue.

Compared to the vest I was using (box sporting goods store purchase) this vest hugs the body and doesn't move around; I set it and forget it. No frequent strap adjustments or repositioning of load needed while on the move. The ballistic nylon is of high quality and construction is solid - I know this vest will serve me for years to come. Well worth the cost and I have no buyer's remorse. Completely satisfied with the product and earlier-than-expected delivery. Will order more from this manufacturer and seller again.

Grabbed this to start preparing for CPAT. I think it has been working very well. I'm about 5' 9", 240lbs, but it seems to fit me quite well. I mostly use it while on a stair climber, but I've also done other exercises (kettle bell swings, battle ropes, lead sled pushes and pulls) and I don't feel like it prevents me from doing other exercises (fits just fine). I've been using it for about one month now, and using it about 3 times a week. Still seems to be holding up quite well. I've only owned one other weight vest before, but it was only a 28lb one made by a different company. I felt like the 28lb vest was more comfortable for long exercises with a weight vest on. I would usually wear the 28lb vest for at least an hour, sometimes 2 hours (occasionally several hours). I usually do about 20 minutes max of workout with the 75lb one, but I keep everything quite intense for the time it is on.

The Mir weighted vest is a solid piece of equipment to add to your workout gear. I have the 90lbs vest which allows me to configure the weight load from 3lbs to 90lbs. I mainly use this weighted vest with my walks/runs, leg exercises, pushups and sit-ups. Some times I will leave the vest on through out the whole workout. The vest has held up really well and is washable. I hand wash the vest because I feel that it is hard on the washer. The weights are easily added and removed from the vest.
